These are my bodies
2019
Playing around with the possibility of a plurality of incarnate divine expressions, I explore the utility of both mono- and polytheistic speech to discuss divine nature. Insofar as a plurality of incarnations solicit humanity in several (often contradictory) directions, I suggest that we question the absoluteness of a logic of divine sameness and the consequent logic grounding classical monotheism. Without abandoning monotheistic language as such, I wonder whether our recognition of a deeper multiplicity in the divine might lead us to embrace polytheistic language. Grounded in a logic of kenosis, I wrestle with the possibility that the world is best understood as a thoroughly religious ecology, incarnate with a plurality of, to follow Eve Sedgwick, “queer little gods,” each of whom reveal infinities beyond human horizons, create subjective worlds outside of themselves, and provide various salvific narratives for life.
