Encountering, Theorizing and Living Maternal Subjectivities: A Panel Discussion of Lisa Baraitser's Maternal Encounters: The Ethics of Interruption

The Potentiality of Encounters: A Response to Lisa Baraitser's Maternal Encounters

Pages 89-93 | Published online: 07 Jun 2012
 

Abstract

This article is a response to Lisa Baraitser's Maternal Encounters: The Ethics of Interruption (Citation2009). It focuses on the concept of encounter as part of an emerging subjectivity or a subjectivity in production. By putting Baraitser's maternal encounters alongside art encounters the discussion starts to open up thinking on the different potential ways for humans to be interrupted and the implications of such potential subjective and ethical awakenings in this late capitalist contemporary era.

Notes

1Braidotti (2006) explains autopoeisis as the maintenance of a machinic system that mediates energy into organized and distributed matter. It thus brings organization to disparate elements but in doing so remains open. The machine can be seen as a site of becoming that is emancipated from purely technological connotations to encompass living organisms and more abstract matter.
