Queer Phenomenology of Spirit by Gaygel

thank you for this! this is so timely! I'm very firmly in the sociological camp as opposed to philosophy but I plan on using Ahmed's work for my thesis and did find it a little daunting :) I've subscribed!

This came right on time for my final paper!!! Thank you!

the lighting actually looks really good!

Thank you for making such a great clip in a simple and easy to understand.

This is a great video! Thank you for the insightful presentation

Incredible video as always

"Thinking according to reason is interpreting according to a scheme which we are unable to throw off" (KGW VIII/I, 5 [122])

Great video! I loved it. Ahmed's text is one that has been on my to-read list for a while. It sounds like she is critical of Husserl. Whereas Husserl "brackets" the "natural attitude" -- one with culturally-determined values and preferences -- towards pure, unmediated appearances, Ahmed wants to interrogate these background assumptions. It reminds me of Iris Marion Young (of what little I know of her!) and how Young was influenced by Heidegger and Merlau-Ponty. Would you say that Ahmed belongs to the hermeneutical strand of phenomenology? Like Paul Ricœur, Gadamer, and Heidegger.

Wow. This is amazing. Thank you.

Any advice on background for reading Queer Phenomenology? My education has been mostly analytic, excepting personal studies of Foucault and Butler.

Amazing video, thanks for helping me understand! Is this from her book Queer Phenomenology or is this mentioned elsewhere?

UnderRATED. Thank you. New subscriber!

Lol, I just found it for my class, thank so you so much man

Obrigada por esse vídeo!

Tank you!! Your a hero 🥹🧡

Going to be teaching in Montreal perchance?

Are there any Marxist critiques of this text? I find that a lot of Ahmed’s broad concepts serve as great additions to the foundation that phenomenology sets up for how to consider perspectives and interactions with objects in the world, but that the more conclusive details they suggest break down when carried to their terminal implications. When considering a materialist perspective of how consciousness projects itself onto the material world, the idea that objects in themselves possess innate and subjective qualities seems to break down to me, as these qualities would be more or less the subjective projections of an individual onto the conditions that determine material objects in themselves - even if subjective perspectives do influence objects created by humans to some degree.

you are good at explaining in a clear and straight forward way :) all those philosophers should take you as example :D

David you beautiful, beautiful man. Lets talk about something important, how do you shape those flawless eyebrows? I need to learn to do that.
