ESCAPING FROM EXCLUSION. KAREN BARAD’S METAPHYSICS OF ENTANGLEMENT AS AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM WITH OPPRESSIVE MIND

Summary/Abstract: Inspired by Karen Barad’s views I search for an answer to the question: how can we include without excluding at the same time? This question brings into view the aporia of the discourse on exclusions, which manifests that struggle against violence invariably causes a violence of another kind. Barad takes the metaphysical point of view, accord-ing to which the world is a whole rather than composed of separate objects. From the perspective of category of “entanglement” she proposes to rethink some fundamental dichotomies: nature–culture, object–subject, body–mind, and, perhaps, to change our understanding of the mechanisms of exclusion.
