\\nAbstr act:
\nAs a specific form of rights insecurity the revocabi lity of reproductive rights manifests contradictory understandings (privat ive and productive) of the political status of pregnancy.
\nI ask ho w and why we should understand reproductive rights as revocable\, giving a broad meaning to the term “revocability\,” and suggesting a conjoined voc abulary that includes conditionality\, exceptionality\, and disqualifying qualification.
\nI ask: what kind of grammar might help us understan d more specifically how the concurrent action of conflicting combinations of power (such as sovereignty\, discipline\, security\, necropower\, and n eoliberal expectation) coordinate together in relation to reproductive rig hts-bearing\, and how heterogeneous combinations of power also produce a m utual disruptiveness\, even auto-critique\, manifesting as conflictual emb odiment.

\nThroughout the 21st century\, philosophers of language have increasingly concerned themselves with the hateful\, coercive\, dehu manizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ideal’ philosophers of languag e question whether received conceptual toolkits from philosophy of languag e manage to make contact with our non-ideal world at all. This paper takes up that methodological interest from a Wittgensteinian perspective. Drawi ng on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, Avner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Co ra Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-ideal philosophers of langua ge neutralize their ideology-critical bite when they presume an authoritat ive force for their words by virtue of a normatively neutral conception of reason. This neutralization is driven and sustained by an idle picture of language that isolates our words from the activities into which they are woven. To make discursive phenomena available in their political import\, we philosophers of language must acknowledge our own non-neutral involveme nt in the very discursive practices we’re theorizing – and this will requi re us to relinquish the entitlement to impose authoritative requirements o n language through theories of meaning.
\nTo illustrate the need for
normatively non-neutral methods in philosophical practice\, I focus on ca
ses where philosophers’ curious gaze treats trans people
\nas fascina
ting objects of knowledge\, as opposed to acknowledging us as interlocutor
s and recognizing the political stakes of our discursive practices. What i
nhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of normatively resonant modes
of attention\, is a picture of philosophical theorizing that forbids us f
rom articulating our political solidarities through our work (and thus obf
uscates what we ourselves are doing with words when theorizing). The non-i
deal philosopher’s critical concept of idealization\, seen aright in a nor
matively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the sort of theoretical resource
that is mobilized by members of marginalized groups to invite such modes o
f attention – to shape not only our epistemic resources\, but also our sen
ses of what matters.
The virtually ubiquitous view of seeing-as experiences in Wittgenstein scholarship inte rprets them as conceptually-laden (with some exceptions\, e.g. Travis 2016 ). The claim is that we can see the same image differently due to switchin g the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through which we experience the im age (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In this paper I focus on a speci fic kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wittgenstein’s example of sud denly noticing the similarity between faces is the paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in this experience\, and propo se an understanding of what I call “the imagistic seeing-as” as a similari ty association\, of the kind that grounds poetic means of expression\, suc h as metaphors. The associative nature of this imagistic seeing-as experie nce may also contribute to the understanding of biases – both personal (e. g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).
