another of the anthropologies.

00:00:09.110 --> 00:00:13.250 align:middle line:84%
This is called "Polemic
Anthropologies" with apologies

00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:15.920 align:middle line:90%
to, for instance, Kant.

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:19.610 align:middle line:84%
Or upon misreading
Ruth Benedict,

00:00:19.610 --> 00:00:25.730 align:middle line:84%
or upon misreading Paula
Gunn Allen, who's to blame--

00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:31.370 align:middle line:84%
Berdache or Squaw, Arab
loanword or Turkish kept boy?

00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:35.030 align:middle line:84%
They are all sodomites,
or so King James says.

00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:38.270 align:middle line:84%
I think it is tricky, this
thing with the two spirits,

00:00:38.270 --> 00:00:40.700 align:middle line:90%
between the living and the not.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:44.960 align:middle line:84%
Or in the role of translation
studies, for those who desire,

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.330 align:middle line:90%
to have or be.

00:00:47.330 --> 00:00:51.890 align:middle line:84%
You've got to double up the real
existence, say, of the Winkte,

00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:56.960 align:middle line:84%
say, and Christian
missionary erasure--

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.050 align:middle line:84%
which, admittedly, sounds
so much more neat than set

00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:05.870 align:middle line:84%
upon by dogs, or tortured,
or residential schools,

00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:08.780 align:middle line:84%

Indian people were getting AIDS.

00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:15.300 align:middle line:84%
On the books, though,
it's all one or the other,

00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:16.320 align:middle line:90%
like they declaim.

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.350 align:middle line:84%
It is like in biography,
in the first chapter

00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:23.340 align:middle line:84%
of a lyric sexology lies the
proof, or the deconstruction

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:24.210 align:middle line:90%
of the proof.

00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:28.230 align:middle line:84%
Pink and blue were not
as they once always were.

00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:32.580 align:middle line:84%

I fancied knew more than I did.

00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:43.440 align:middle line:84%

00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:52.260 align:middle line:90%
Tiresias.

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.230 align:middle line:90%
It's the usual suspects, really.

00:01:55.230 --> 00:01:59.070 align:middle line:84%
Alibi for colonialism,
but seriously high,

00:01:59.070 --> 00:02:00.780 align:middle line:90%
how pot gives you boobs.

00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:19.920 align:middle line:84%
To say nothing of whether
Havelock Ellis really cribbed

The Adventures of Julian
Robinson or Michel Foucault

00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:27.210 align:middle line:84%

a nunnery, at last

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.920 align:middle line:84%
among my own kind,

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:40.800 align:middle line:84%
like Rousseau
