<div>Tai Shani says she wants “to imagine an alternative history which
privileges sensation, experience, and interiority, undermining hegemonic
conceptions of narrative history to propose these possible visions of
post-patriarchal futures. It is world-making within which patriarchal
ideology is replaced within marginalized ideologies, such as intersectional and
queer feminism, to propose polyphonic, non-hierarchical perspectives on history,
science and nature.”</div>

<div>Has anyone noticed various books and articles on Woolf, which are heavy
with this sort of prose, in which quotations from Woolf shine out with limpid
clarity? (Has anyone noticed books – often based on the author’s PhD –
where the intro. is full of Continental philosophy and language to match, while
the remainder of the book is quite reader-friendly? And then there others
that lure you in with a fairly welcoming intro., with perhaps just the odd
reference to Virginia Woolf as a Derridean Deconstructive Writer – and then,
phew!)</div>
