Corporeality, hyper-consciousness, and the Anthropocene ecoGothic: slime and ecophobia.
The centrality of slime to corporeal theory can hardly be overstated, and phobic responses to slime belie both the exceptionalism we claim as our birthright, on the one hand, and the realities of our bodily existence and experiences on the other. Slime threatens and enables our sense of corporeal id...
