#poststructuralist — Public Fediverse posts

Picked a really dark bit of reading this month.

I've had a lifelong fascination with the Book of Job, various exegesis & have read a bit of ancillary material over the years. However, this book brings in a lot of personal accounts from #Holocaust survivors. This is new to me & pretty challenging.

It's also leans heavily on Kristeva's #PostStructuralist work on abjection.

Highly recommend.

Wondering if there is interesting work on the #philosophy of #statistics, #probability etc I should read. I know Hacking et al. But interested in work from the #hermeneutic, #poststructuralist etc traditions of critical #theory. The few mentions by #Gadamer etc don't go beyond received conceptions.

#ProjectManagement workshops can be surprisingly cool, if I may say so as a cynic.
It is still fun to rethink all those rather modernist concepts from a #poststructuralist point of view: Planning as a process that is never present, but a trace connecting past and future (retrospectives and goal attainment). The use of meta-protocols that monitor the ontological production within project structure plans, objectivation and quantification. The deconstruction of interests, conflicts, and identities. Resource wise it probably is mere phantasy to integrate this into actual managment processes, but I think you see that poststructuralist management could be an attractive branding. It would be second to no other approach that fails once reliability of cooperation breaks down.
