This is the Paratext Podcast. My name is Heike Renée de Wit, I am a graphic designer and research master student in Gender Studies, from the Netherlands. In this audio space I want to explore the life and relations that surround textual objects, through reading, listening, investigating and speaking with and alongside writings that I enjoy and am meaningfully confused by.
For other projects, feedback or further conversation, you can find me on instagram @heikerenee.
The Paratext podcast investigates worlds with/in words. In these first three episodes I read to you notes I wrote during a course we put together in my Gender Studies master's programme in May-June of 2022, on the concepts of becoming and relationality and their indebtedness to Indigenous knowledges.

Notes
[1] I would suggest that presently there is not a definite finitude to the Dutch colonisation, as it works through us in many ways known and yet unknown. Also the Netherlands is still in dubious asymmetrical interdependency with Aruba, Sint-Marten, Bonaire and Curaçao. For a rich resource of discussions and perspectives pertaining the Dutch colonial histories, see for example The Black Archives: https://www.theblackarchives.nl/ (https://www.theblackarchives.nl/).
