Revisiting 'Midnight's Children
Within postcolonial literature, "Midnight's Children" (Rushdie) their births laden not only with supernatural expectation, but traumatically marked with cultural upheaval-appear as symbols of hope in an unreliable future. Given the presence of disability in postcolonial literature, this essay pushes Christian theology to think with our own "midnight's child"-one born "uncomely," disfigured (Isaiah 53). "Disability"- never without some material si…
The Picture of Health
We carry our most intimate view of nature within our pictures of health. These images of health, often more amenable to ablenationalism than to a world of intra-active becoming, inform not only neoliberal policy, but ecological vision, including ecospiritualities. Increasingly “the politics of health” constitutes something like a structure of exclusion, a “racism that is biological” (Foucault). Since these intimate images of nature—these “picture…

Groundswell
Given the metaphoric registration of Spirit as bird, earth, wind and water, conspiring with Spirit would seem among the most obvious ways in which Christians could remember the biocentric scope of sacred interests. Consequently, as theology has gotten grounded, what has been emerging—after a near 1500-year absence in Western Christian theology—is pneumatology. Spirit, a term borrowed into theology from the natural sciences—that is, Stoicism—draws…
Watery Depths
1 he cultural and intra-psychic maps of "pollution," communicated through the narratives of Judeo-Christian tradition, position us in destructive relationships with wetlands.Both the ecological terrrain known as wetlands as well as women's wombs have been at times derogatorily labeled as "rotting flesh."Our reactions of repulsion engendered by such labelling have led us to devalue economically what are some of the most fecund and generative of ha…
