> "As many critical race theorists have shown, during the Enlightenment
> episteme of reason, intellectual technologies such as abstraction and
> taxonomy instituted a generalizable understanding of truth that continues
> to dictate the realities of societies around the globe, irrespective of
> social particularities. These intellectual technologies have historically
> been implemented to invalidate and replace other forms of knowledge. In
> this post, we discuss a structural feature of music-theoretical discourse
> that has sustained the immanent positioning of music-theoretical
> terminology. We call it “the priorness axiom.”
