Ontology of the Serpent
Abraham P. DeLeon
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v46 n4 p578-596 2024
In this article, the author animates a different kind of telling and knowing for critical scholarship. Recognizing an unknowable reality through a journey to a mythical past, the author imagines an "ontology of the serpent," a radical interdisciplinary, incantation for the future. This sorcerous evocation re-animates ancient mythical practices, forging a becoming that has not been realized. The serpent rejects a Christian, Cartesian, and modernist telos, recasting a different relationship with hierarchies that subvert radical forms of resistance from emerging. This paper ends within the embrace of anarchism, evoking the anarchist's "No!", destabilizing self and pointing toward wonderous, cosmic connections.
