Side Wound,Virgin Birth,Transfiguration |

| Abstract: | AbstractThis essay draws on the work of Karmen MacKendrick and several early Christian theologians to argue for a Christian “morphological imaginary” (Judith Butler) characterized by remarkable fluidity of embodiment. It does so by tracing the “mimetic circuitry” (Jean-Luc Nancy) of the traditions of virgin birth, side wound, and transfiguration, bringing several patristic-era meditations on these themes into further conversation with MacKendrick’s work. |
