"It was easily understood that passing as a soldier, sailor or male worker gave women autonomy, liberty and economic independence and was a better option than prostitution or the workhouse." 如果認為跨性別成為社會中的女人是有優勢的話......那個優勢是什麼?它們是怎麼來的?
"I'm going to ask you to take into consideration that most of what I'm talking about actually came out of the earlier generations' interrogation of, contestation of the terms of knowledge production in universities.
And the idea was that knowledge production, access to knowledge production, the ability to create, a group of intellectuals who are actually engaging in the process of rationalizing our ongoing efforts to reform society, of contesting the ways in which racial stratification was justified,
that process was ever so much a part of the civil rights movement as voting rights was or as economic justice is. So recognizing that these places are as contested as courtrooms, as elections, as hiring offices, that was a central part of critical race theory."
Transcript - FD58: Interview with Jon Steinberg of (Post-Finale) “We were able to kind of strangely name something you didn’t think you were looking for a name for. Which is the space between them and not, you know, specifically who did what to Silver when he was a kid.”
"...whatever happened was so terrible that it broke his ability to exist within a story. There is something that is therapeutic about existing within a story and something that I think is normal and also a part of the human condition, to find a place in a story in which you feel like you make sense,
and I think whatever it was that happened to him that made him incapable of reconciling that, that is his trauma, you know? His backstory was that he was removed from his own story–– And then his curse is that he is stuck in someone else's story. That he sort of never wanted to be in, but can't get out of."
"The function, the very serious function of racism, is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language, so you spend twenty years proving that you do.
Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly, so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of that is necessary. There will always be one more thing."
“Imaginative fiction trains people to be aware that there are other ways to do things and other ways to be, that there is not just one civilization and it is good and it is the way we have to be." 「科幻小說能訓練人們感知到有另一套做事情的方式、另一種生命存在的樣貌。我們的文明不是唯一的,也不總是美好,不是所有的事情都要照這樣的方式進行。」
他引那個是想證實非洲上的人有不是西方的「女性」概念。不過這些東西很難討論的原因之一是,像我之前在上課的時候教授也有提,很多研究是西方已經殖民之後才從西方的觀點去看當地,原來的觀念已經受到影響了,那要怎麼回溯?當時上課用的例子是Oyèrónké Oyěwùmí的 The Invention of Women和Irene Marsha Silverblatt的 Moon, Sun, and Witches,兩本都分別談了非洲和印加/祕魯在殖民前後的性別觀。讀起來多少還是感覺得到有些意義已經很難真正「找回」。

這麼想批評又不願意去了解自己在那邊主張的「性別」歷史發展到底想怎樣?
如果認為跨性別成為社會中的女人是有優勢的話......那個優勢是什麼?它們是怎麼來的?
室友:我覺得他應該之前沒有演戲經驗,所以發音很糊。我也是開字幕才知道他在說什麼。(?!)
這個我真的不行。好想戰(尤其講美國種族那個,呃呃呃)。但期末改作業就剩半條命了,更想睡。
(而且戰了搞不好也像在改作業,算了算了OTZ)
「我覺得就像伊底帕斯。」
這部角色之間性張力高到我的大腦一度出竅只想找同人文(而且還不只是彼得和菲爾,從一開始菲爾和喬治的互動就高燒不退......),看完完全懂為什麼你會說火辣XDD
......嗯。
對,最開始光菲爾和喬治的關係就,咦 XDD 我好像還沒搞得清楚那種性張力到底是何來,但整部到處都在燒 XDD(我其實也有點喜歡菲爾和羅絲...)
關於厭女部分是「傷害都是以女之名」好有趣,我沒想過!小U看得好細 XD 不過我以為菲爾對羅絲不全然是上對下,羅絲加入家庭本身也是對菲爾的一種威脅...雖然那個威脅應該是來自文明與秩序,而不是他本身?(確實羅絲進入家庭也並沒有得到什麼權力)
我其實自己也是對那個結局該將彼得歸為文明還是非文明有點猶豫 XD 不過我想也就是喜歡這個難辨之處...
「是菲爾讓他成為真的會做事的人」好虐好讚(?)這部回想起來蠻多意象可以挖挺有趣的 XD
(當時美國上流社會女性......像是《純真年代》裡面亞契的老婆梅,就非常知道怎麼用那種社會架構去得到他想要的。)

法蘭琪的第三人稱寫作差挺多的。

有人特別去翻譯嗎?沒有。
(由順性別來定義誰是真跨性別,厂)
他們覺得這些要求都是合理的,因為本來就不准世界上任何人不依照出生性別過活(附帶世界已經沒有性別框架,所有人都可以「做自己」的超美好預設),由於有些人可憐兮兮的樣子我們破例開一條路給你們走,已經仁至義盡了,不要不知羞恥要求更多,否則我們隨時可以收回給你們的恩賜;現在你們之中出了一群太吵的人,讓我們看得不爽,該要給你們點教訓了
我對把醫學/科學/法學論述和普世事實畫等號,然後要求所有落在那之外的人要依據那種「現實」而活的人已經快無話可說OTZ
以科奇幻來說這部設定很古典。我不是影集的想像觀眾群。
Sex and gender equality law and policy: A response to Murray, Hunter Blackburn and MacKenzie
Losing sight of women's rights (again): a response to Cowan et al.
後面這兩篇是在筆戰。
算了我忍不住。
「當我們在討論女性會受到的衝擊,所以至少該有個配套時,卻有人一直要把討論往跨女不該因為變態被剝奪權利的方向帶,這背後是什麼心思呢? 」
──也許是因為某些人提出的配套的確是在剝奪特定人的權利???
「想想當女人談論父權如何壓迫女性的時候,卻有人說父權也壓迫男性(事實上女性主義也處理了這部分的問題),因為女性有父權紅利所以沒男性可憐(事實上卻閉口不提男性更大的父權紅利,否則男性應該會比女性先反抗父權),這種人的立場又是什麼呢?」
──也許不是每個人的「女性」和「男性」定義都是這個問句裡的這種???這個問句已經先假定了「女性」和「男性」定義吧???
美國的電力公司:發信通知住戶,說他們已經做好電線桿倒掉的準備,然後這裡有個app可以先下載,這樣斷電的時候可以查大概什麼時候復電。
......可以不要這樣嗎。
喔對喔,每次研討會就要聽一堆這種討論,然後通常都是一堆白人學者。好棒棒喔。
又說自己只上過一堂課那不就等於不知道嗎言論自由和理性和科學都是啟蒙時代視為基石的東西。如果看不到啟蒙的「文明」、「人」、「理性」、「科學」是建立在哪些東西上,真的沒什麼能說的了。
(聳肩)
我倒覺得散有散的好處,因為整套的自由主義和理性主義才是最可怕的東西......而且即使是歐美,對啟蒙影響的批評本身也是散落的。有時候看了A,後來讀了B,才會發現他們在批評類似的東西,只是因為在不同領域,用的詞彙完全不一樣。
因為覺得跨性別在鞏固社會對性別的框架所以不支持跨性別是一回事,用「我覺得跨性別在鞏固社會對性別的框架」行鞏固社會對性別的框架之實是另外一回事,好嗎。

預告看起來好有潛力。
主題是進擊的巨人刻意讓觀眾看得很不舒服......呃,那看exploitation film豈不是要送醫OTZ
這是在惡搞他舊電影嗎?XDDD
真的要討論什麼叫玩語言,要不要先問強暴的定義為什麼是那樣?為什麼只有陰莖插入才算?這樣在統計數字上有什麼差異?可以造就什麼社會認知?可以被歸入那個詞彙的行為擴展時會帶來什麼社會影響?
——如果還能討論這些事,那個社會就不像1984。還有,在1984裡被控制的是中上層階級,社會底層那個政府是直接把他們丟一個區管他們去死。
一個語言越能「清楚」「絕對」表達某個概念的世界就越逼近1984的政府統治的那個世界。

看到地球圖輯隊才知道這挺有名的。
救命啊,北歐劇可以不要這樣嗎,簡直當年Forbrydelsen的創傷重演啊啊啊啊
XDDDDDDDD
哇,Jackson這本的free indirect discourse已經到直接反應主角支離破碎的程度了吧。
不知道這是不是和英美律法判定mens rea的方式有關。因為那樣的判定方式,mens rea的觀念直接影響到社會怎麼判定日常生活中「不正常」的人。
辨識系統到底怎麼運作的我不懂啊。

嘿,台灣有翻譯。改天應該借來看看,好好奇翻譯的效果。
「科幻小說能訓練人們感知到有另一套做事情的方式、另一種生命存在的樣貌。我們的文明不是唯一的,也不總是美好,不是所有的事情都要照這樣的方式進行。」
唷,翻譯起解殖來了?那前面那些堅持醫學堅持犯罪學堅持法律的文章算什麼?自己翻自己的打臉文?XDDDD
還是只是把理論看成一個看狀況拿來使用的工具,根本不了解各派之所以會這樣說或發展的原因?(白眼)
但問題就來了,所以......翻譯的人覺得去掉西方的性別觀的性別觀才是看待性別的方式嗎?那之前翻譯一堆支持西方性別觀的東西是在?
(想直接跳過醫學和科學和法學恐怕沒那麼容易欸,台灣這方面受到的影響太深了。)
這句話好微妙喔,因為我之前才聽鏡傳媒podcast有提到黑人女性主義者在談割禮,就好像也並沒有這麼一翻兩瞪眼……
好像貼過?不管了。
