Wednesday 29 April, Marvelous Stank Matters
Stallings, p. 134, quotes character in Butler's Fledgling: "Do you love me, Shori, or do I just taste good? (139) "Butler's heroine forces readers to see that the social construct of time fabricates orientation as much as sex or gender."

From Wakeford, N. 2015. "Don't Go All the Way: Revising 'Misplaced Concretism.'" In Bowker et al. Boundary Objects and Beyond: Working with Leigh Star. MIT. pp. 69-83.
p. 82: "The Method toolkit incorporates other elements, woven into an argument in which understandings of marginality and multiplicity function together.
"First, we must think of 'communities of practice' in so far as they link together actions, people and artifacts. Second, we have to find the 'boundary objects' and the work of translation and communication between communities of practice. Third, we should consider 'borderlands' and 'monsters.' She [Leigh Star in essay on 'Misplaced Concretism'] offers the following explanation: 'A monster occurs when an object refuses to be naturalized. A borderland occurs when two communities of practice co-exist in one person.'
"The argument is explicitly about relationality."
