"Patti Lather, a brilliant feminist methodologist, has written about this under the rubric transgressive validity ( Lather 1993 ). Her map of attributes of a feminist method, which I read after I wrote the passage above, has some remarkable resonances. She asks the question, where, after poststructuralism, can we find validity? Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis"

"Her answer has four points that together equal a validity which rests reflexively on the contemporary crisis of representation: Ironic validity (which problematizes the single voice, realist representation of nature); paralogical validity (which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); rhizomatic validity (which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing); and voluptuous validity (which precisely goes too far , and

joins ethics and epistemology)"

VALIDITY DEFINITIONS, CITED AND ASKING QUESTIONS

"Transgressive validity" -> "here, after poststructuralism, can we find validity?" is validity the same as validation? searching for distinction I find that one is a verb an the other is a noun, but both seem to be tags? https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1659/what-is-the-difference-between-tags-validity-and-validation

"Ironic validity" > "which problematizes the single voice, realist represen- tation of nature)" ... "would demand that the representation of pregnancy as an illness be challenged in the encoding, and include multiple views of what in fact constitutes a pregnancy. " 

"Paralogical validity" > "(which emphasizes paradox and heterogeneity); .. "might at the same time acknowledge that for some women an aborted fetus never constituted a pregnancy at all, while for others it did, and there is no resolving that question in any simple fashion." 

"Rhizomatic validity" > "(which undermines the taken-for-granted and keeps opening up new ways of situated seeing. " ... "would seek out the range of what we take for granted about pregnancy, childbirth, and sexuality, and keep challenging us to break boundaries of what we think we know about these processes—perhaps cross-culturally, but also in phenomenological explorations of daily routines connected with them, denying the taken-for-granted “every woman feels X”: and being sure to listen for com- plex differences and similarities." 

"Voluptuous validity" > "which precisely goes too far, and joins ethics and epistemology" .. "in this sense might bring entirely other conceptions of birth and pregnancy, such as the kind of spiritual birth found in some religious cultures, or dreams and visions. From this base, feminism has some important things to say about technology, and especially information technology, in its capacity creatively and ethically to mingle people, things, and experience."
