I argue that there are clear advantages in revisiting these ideas in order to carefully consider the nature of perception and ask what is at stake in the colonization of critique. I also, however, suggest some limitations to the current reading, taking each of the gaps identified in turn and drawing on ideas from post-structuralism, multispecies ethnography and more-than-human geography as well as my own engagements with Haraway’s work. In closing, I suggest there may be a case for staying with an account of situated knowledges which requires some work before you can make sense of it; an account that slows down reading – and reasoning – to speculate and meander UR - https://doi.org/10.1177/2043820619850271 ER -
