Bringing together a transdisciplinary array of authors, including Judith Butler & Paul B. Preciado, "Autotheories" offers a new frame of reference for autotheory in a kaleidoscopic snapshot of this genre-bending field: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255229... @alexbrostoff.bsky.social

A definition of autotheory from the editors of "Autotheories," Alex Brostoff and Vilashini Cooppan: "A straddle (of disciplines), a strut (of style), an axies (of identification), an index (of attachments), an archive (of loves). It's us (editors and contributors) and you (reader) and we (all of us)."

@alexbrostoff.bsky.social @deesisit.bsky.social and I will be thinking about machine translation. We will examine the effects of machine translation on minority languages, particularly how specific contexts are erased through their transfer into hegemonic linguistic frameworks.
