BARAD, KAREN
b. 1956
Intra-Action (The Meeting Constitutes the Participants)
Barad: entities do not pre-exist their relations; they emerge through intra-action. CoCA's CoCA Model for Public Meetings (§1.2.2) is operationally Baradian. The meeting does not gather pre-existing artists into a room; the room produces the artists, the agenda, and the institutional fact of the meeting all at once. We do not assemble. We intra-act. The minutes are the apparatus through which the meeting comes to be.
