| Summary: | This essay peers into the off-centred points of globality in hopes to unpack a few nodes of posthuman subjectivity - namely Blackness. Historically, the ghostly and monstrous were used to distance Blackness from the humanity and divinity. Outside of the realm of Black theology, Blackness has not historically been associated with divine embodiment/incarnation. This essay seeks to turn the terms spectre and monster on their head, being subjectivities that bear divine reality. An investigation into the dangers posed by Black spectral and monstrous divinity points toward new posthuman subjectivities (being spectres and monsters of Black personhood and divinity). |
