discontinuity
Why not?
a double intentionality
Intentionality without agency?
no association
No distinction?
instinctive familiarity
?
shift from the global vision of Gaia towhat some scientists now call the ‘critical zone’”
Could be related to what Haraway calls 'big enough stories'.
The opposition of world and earth is a striving
Very Fichtean language. Does not opposition imply a relation of causality and/or subordination?
the mechanical order
This is underdeveloped but I guess the point is that they are not externally related but co-constitutive or something...
transformation and change
Emergence, downward causality?
revert into an object
Reminds me of Heidegger's zuhanden/vorhanden-distinction.
Both models rest upon a modern premise: the mechanical external relationship between spirit and matter, between mind and body
Like how idealism and mechanical materialism are two sides of the same coin.
reproductive structures
This dovetails with the notion that the symbolic reproduces desire.
not the effects of repressive prohibitions
This is a 'culturalist' reading of psychoanalysis.
“repressive hypothesis”
Jean Copjec argues that Foucault's reading misses the notion of primary repression (foreclosure) in Freud, and thus overlooks the fact that sex is a negativity in psychoanalysis. This primary repression should not be confused with the suppression of society. Instead it is a barrier to societal repression which is 'irrepressible'.
Given that traditional anthropology didn’t consider the ges-tation and education techniques developed by African women as technology in the strict sense of the word
What does 'strict sense' mean here? This seems to exemplify technics, not technology.
technology
I find this usage of the term a bit misleading, as technology is tied to the development of modern science (a merging of techne and episteme), whereas technics predates this development. Arguably, it was only in the 19th century that technology emerged.
