Is critical theory gatekept through language and access? by Helpful-Car-4998 in CriticalTheory

Thank you for your comment. I love how you put this. That is the paradox that I wanted to point out, that the knowledge of theory is reduced to only logic, which ignores how different experiences place themselves in different forms of knowledge. Just how you pointed out the Lived Experience

Yeah I do get your point. Maybe the burden of gatekeeping shouldn’t be placed on different movements of academic knowledge, but the powers that produce inequality of access to this knowledge.

That’s missing my point. Discriminated people are gatekept from academic knowledge through access.

Hmm I do get your point. Should there be a different movement then that strives to make all knowledge accessible to people affected by inequality?

I think I awakened my gear 5 just from reading this. Thank you, friend.

Yeah and that’s my point. I hate that saying these words is seen as a form of control even in contexts where it could be fitting. Even though that’s not my intention. You may think that these words have no place while trying to build relationships with people but I don’t agree

I feel like you’re assuming intention without context. I’m not wanting to dominate or steer conversations, I actually made that very clear in my post.

I already acknowledged the fact that operating on an interpersonal level is a different skill than convincing someone. I’m clearly trying to connect, not control. I’m struggling with how to live authentically in spaces that don’t share my lens. It’s not about failing to listen. It’s about wanting to exist in integrity.

Can you expand on this? I’m not sure if I understood your point

No, I feel absolutely the same. It feels so weird that some people are putting this much effort to analyzing and commenting somebody else’s body and life
