* Taking Intersectionality Seriously It's been observed that set intersection is a productive model for the interaction of oppressions in society [TK cite originator] ** Opression It's always structural. ** The Category of Oppression # Objects are groups of People (sets) and arrows are structural oppressions # It is a small category *** Identity and Composition exposition *** The co-category *** Relationship with the Cat of persons and domination **** What do we mean by structural? ***** Oppression is always structural ***** Functions in the Cat of persons and domination (? opression itself vis a vis domination?) relate to arrows in the Cat of Oppression via a functor ****** What is that functor? Not the identity functor exactly, but ... (collective identity functor) ******* Faithful? Forgetful? *** Oppression has a color (character) **** Enriched Categories: for further study ** The Category of Exploitation *** Objects are classes of people (Marxian sense, not mathematical) -- or are they firms? or people? or commodities? or accumulations of capital? *** Arrows are extractions of surplus value? *** Full re-instription of Marx into category-theoretical terms would be an extensive project **** Engels speech at Marx's graveside *** How could we model (reconcile) the relationship b/t Exploitation and Oppression? **** The reason that idpol appears bad to Marxists is ***** The Separation of these categories (apparent or real) characterizes [neo]liberalism ***** Exploitation is hidden by "fetishes" (collective identity functor) -- Fetishes as forgetful functor? As Monads? Accumulation with loss of structure is the key. ****** Mathematically speaking, how could we model a fetish in the Marxian sense == how could we model a commodity in the marxian sense? **** The reason that marxism appears bad to identitarians is ****** Domination isn't accounted for -- is hidden/elided in class ******* (Micro)aggressions impose real stresses (while relieving the stressor) ******** In this sense it relates to the Cat of exploitation ******** Exploitation is a "hot" flow, while oppression is a "cold" flow???? ********* Who is exploiting you for your labor time is a fixed, continuous relationship (less so now); actual migroagressions are intermittent (but always present in the mind) ********* Time is a critical element, and the Cat-theoretic concept of a flow might be a topic for further research ******** Microaggression flow can be seen as waste explulsion (shit rolls downhill) ****** The role of "primitive accumulation" is important, ongoing, and somewhat neglected ** Naive sets, categorical oppression, and Russels paradox *** The naive model puts people in sets by some characteristic they share, but this model of sets is ultimately incoherent *** Cat-theoretic approaches allow for a richer model **** What would an intersection of categories instead of sets look like? ***** Presumably, a (bijective? faithful?) functor? ***** It seems, though, that identitarians are engaging in a naive-set-theoretical conception sorting people by their characteritics (Dolezal???) ****** Real meaning of "the exception proves the rule" Rachel Dolezal ****** What if this is just an uncharitable assumption? ******* What would proper class intersectionality look like? A topic for further research ******** Start by replacing sets in the Cat of Oppression with categories, and make "oppression" a functor ********* How would Cat of Oppression and Cat of Exploitation then be related? ********** If we were to functor-ize Cat of Exploitation, what would the objects (Cats) be? *********** They would be Classes (Marxian) ************ What is the internal structure of Marxian Class as Cat? ************* Objects: ************* Arrows: ******* Examining a person's history for category decision would tend toward a model of experience (events + precedence) *** What is the Russels Paradox analogue for naive intersectionality?
