Anyway, yes, Stengers talks about neo-pagans all the time, and seriously. But Starhawk is the major influence.Scuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156611887819008603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559067786591506808.post-29182241844015646032010-12-03T19:55:50.200+00:002010-12-03T19:55:50.200+00:00Thanks for this Scu, I'd be interested to know...Thanks for this Scu, I'd be interested to know if she is simply using the cultural and mythic trope and stereotype of the witch, or whether she has actually read some of the contemporary Wiccans and witches. It was always clear that Haraway had engaged to some degree, if only to move beyond them with her claim that she would rather be a cyborg than a goddess. But I'm a litte surprised by Stengers, although certainly not in a bad way.Paul Reid-Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305501394205279347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559067786591506808.post-29186352101341599492010-12-03T17:22:08.526+00:002010-12-03T17:22:08.526+00:00Stengers comes back to the example of witches freq...Stengers comes back to the example of witches frequently in her work. Here is one example, but there are many more. http://www.recalcitrance.com/deleuzelast.htmScuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156611887819008603noreply@blogger.com
