Our editor Deirdre Anne Hendrick's M.A. thesis, "Citing Silences: Finding a History 'Outside' the Archive," is available open access on PhilArchive. It argues that silences produced by Euro-Western historiography in the service of white supremacy can be cited in ways that force the archive to acknowledge its own violence — developing the concept of the "hauntological irrealis" through Trouillot, Derrida, Butler, and Hartman.

Pinning this bc apparently I *am* going to read more and write more about Becker, lol.

That letter to Frederick Jackson Turner led me to Becker's famous "Detachment and the Writing of History," published the same year. I've read this before but probably early grad school? It's been a long time.

Holy crap, what a fascinating essay, both for its time and in our *present* time, like literally, right now.

I was able to download a pdf here:

In the course of writing something on Louis Mink, I stumbled (don't ask me how) on Galen Strawson's "Against Narrativity" - and it struck me as a very interesting paper. Colleagues in #TheoryOfHistory / #PhilosophyOfHistory who have read it: what do you think about it? #philosophy

Question for fellow @histodons : it's probably a personal blind spot in my search methodology 😅, but I can't seem to find much engagement with #karenbarad among historians or #philosophyofhistory . Can someone point me in the right direction?
