Work focus on a new age love of the power; where one is judged with
warhead expansion and giving birth to the dangerous, new age nuclear arms race with
negative international security trends, this should be worrying.
The diffraction [indeterminacy]of time at the core of quantum field theory, troubles the
scalar distinction between the world of subatomic particles and that of colonialism, war,
nuclear physics research, and environmental destruction; all of which entangle the effects
of nuclear warfare throughout the present time, troubling the binaries between micro and
macro, nature and culture, nonhuman and human. Barad thus attempts to think through
what possibilities remain open for an embodied remembering of the past which, against
the colonialist practices of erasure and avoidance and the related desire to set time aright,
calls for thinking a certain undoing of time; a work of mourning more accountable to, and
doing justice to, the victims of ecological destruction and of racist, colonialist, and
nationalist violence, human and otherwise – those victims who are no longer there, and
those yet to come.
