“ 'Certainty of the Flesh' : Archetypes of Wholeness"

• In Event: Beyond the Myth of Away: Toward a Speculative Consumption

Abstract

This paper introduces Somatescape, that draws on privileging Black feminist lived experience and embodied conditions that disrupt the consumption and domination of others and the natural world. She revisits and extends patterns from Octavia E. Butler’s life and works to redefine the archetypes of myth, self/other, Shadow, and symptom as interstitial potential.
