Document Summary
Experience-when a subject interacts with material, economic, and interpersonal realities and transforms them into subjective experiences, interpreting and creating themselves in the process. Relational- occurs through the interactions with others, objects, or activities. It"s not universal-> different people experience things differently. Positionality-> how we process experience depends on the situation. Experiences are personal-> cannot use someone else"s experiences. Material conditions-includes everything in our environment related to our physical wants, interests, and comforts. Interacts with it and incorporates them into our experiences. Lived experience of oppression- used to describe the first-hand accounts and impressions of living as a member of the oppressed group. Stories of experience-stories used to express and negotiate experience. Experiences gather significance when we assign meaning to them through the process of remembering them. Embodiment-mind-body binary-> men associated with mind and females associated with body. Contemporary feminist"s theory replaces mind-body binary with it. Self is understood as situated by the body and shapes your experiences.
