Event description: 

Join us for Remythologizing the Cosmos: Ritualization in the Anthropocene as Epistemic Justice.

The imposition of colonial power in globalization proceeded in part by devaluing indigenous ritual ways of knowing. Taking this as a starting point, in this presentation Kimberly Hope Belcher will explore the value of contemporary ritualizations that reanimate the cosmos. Responses to ecodisasters require the recovery of cosmological flexibility, including subjunctive or fictional participation in rites that project a world of animals, spirits, gods, and monsters.

Free and open to the public.

This event is part of the ISM Liturgy Symposium Series.
