also known as Judith Butler

The gender theorist who reaches dialogue 70 only through the subtitle of Kroker's Body DriftButler, Hayles, and Haraway — and whom Bob reads very differently from the way Kroker does. The page holds that divergence: Bob is reading, and largely endorsing, a book built on three thinkers he does not share Kroker's estimate of, and he notes the mismatch without resolving it. Her work is not discussed. New to it — start with dialogue 70.

Across the dialogues

70

Enters through Kroker's subtitle rather than her own work — the theorist Bob reads against while working through a book that treats her as a resource, marking the limit of his sympathy with Kroker

The only route by which Butler enters the archive — named as one third of a book's apparatus, not as a body of work the session engages.

"That's Arthur Kroker in a book called Body Drift, subtitled Butler, Hayles, and Haraway. Those are three feminists."
Bob Dobbsasserted

The contradiction Bob registers and leaves standing — the theorist he reads against is, for the writer he has just called the only one describing the tech body, a resource.

"The people investigating it go back to... Butler, but Kroker is celebrating Butler here, and Hayles and Donna Haraway."
Bob Dobbsasserted
