 Interestingly, via the unlikely subject of an ontology of quantum physics, new points of contact have opened up between analytical and (‘continental’) interpretive process thought in Karen Barad’s metaphysics of “agential realism” (Barad 2007). Grounded in a detailed interpretation of the philosophy of Niels Bohr, Barad views reality as the entanglement of natural and social“agencies” the distinctness of which emerges in the specific “intra-actions” produced by specific physical set-ups (experiments); the continuous “intra-activity” of reality, Barad argues, calls for a non-essentialist, performatist understanding of meaning and values.
