Diffracting Diffraction: Cutting Together-Apart.

The author discusses the quantum understanding of diffraction. She starts by re-turning iteratively intra-acting, re-diffracting, diffracting anew, in the making of new temporalities, spacetimematterings, new diffraction patterns. She explains that intra-actions enact agential cuts, which do not pro...

Summary:The author discusses the quantum understanding of diffraction. She starts by re-turning iteratively intra-acting, re-diffracting, diffracting anew, in the making of new temporalities, spacetimematterings, new diffraction patterns. She explains that intra-actions enact agential cuts, which do not produce absolute separations, but rather cut together-apart.
