Some thoughts on #theory I had today.
Theory is always intersubjective. This is true, whether the theory is #standpoint-aware (as found in #feminist theory, #Black and #Indigenous theoretical traditions, and other lineages) or not. Theory as such is accessible to people with a social and historical positioning outside the writer’s own positioning. People may quite likely not get the point, the relevance, or the implications of a piece, but they can get there if they want to and are willing to put in the work needed. That makes theory a bridge between living worlds and a tool for collective #world-building from below. And maybe that is its most important function.
If I say "they can get there," I do not mean that theory is per se particularly #accessible let alone accessible for everybody. There are obstacles that are theory-internal, like #epistemic-whiteness, that can and must be tackled from within theory-building. There are also obstacles of access based on certain types of education required to read theory. These are, to a certain extent, theory-external. They behave in a similar fashion to knowledge of a language. It requires resources to learn a language, and there are many people excluded from learning and thus using it because the necessary resources to learn the #language are withheld from them.

“Imagine listening to Beethoven with the prepossession that C is a good note and F a bad one; yet this is exactly the stand point from which all uninitiates contemplate the universe. Obviously, they miss the music.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/08/13/imagine-listening-to-beethoven-with-the-prepossession-that-c-is-a-good-note-and-f-a-bad-one-yet-this-is-exactly-the-stand-point-from-which-all-uninitiates-contemplate-the-universe-obviously-they/ #aleisterCrowley #all #bad #Beethoven #book #contemplate #exactly #fromWhich #goodNote #imagine #listening #missMusic #prepossession #quote #standPoint #TheConfessionsOfAleisterCrowley #uninitiates #universeObviously -
