‭More-than-human worlds‬
‭Barad suggests reconsidering ideas about discursive practices and their connection to‬
‭knowledge, with an emphasis on the "WE" as it relates to knowledge and the practices of‬
‭knowing and is directly related. She argues that rather than being an objective or fixed object‬
‭that exists independently of human perspectives, reality is a co-constituted interaction‬
‭between matter and meaning. She disputes the notion of a dualism between culture and nature‬
‭and argues that matter has the power to actively alter our understanding of the cosmos‬
‭through its agents.‬
‭Barad claims that studying the act of knowing in being, or onto epistemology, is a‬
‭better way to think about understanding interactions. She argues that knowledge is a dynamic‬
‭interaction between people and the material world rather than an activity that is only focused‬
‭on people. She refutes conventional epistemologies by emphasizing the active role matter‬
‭plays in the creation of reality rather than its passive nature.‬
‭In addition to offering ontological and epistemological suggestions, Barad's work is‬
‭linked with Brune Latour's agency in the Anthropocene.‬
