Corpus Crisis is a term coined by historian Luna Danielle Ende in 2046. The term refers to an era where the fundamental elements of the socioeconomic body are shifting from one paradigm to another.
Corpus Crisis is a tool or method to recognise systemic changes in history. Ende defines three corpora, that indicate that a corpus crisis might have taken place in a certain period of history.
According to Ende, a historical period or process can be described as a corpus crisis, if a shift in paradigms can be detected in three categories:
1) Corpus of the socioeconomic order: governance, economy, work, communities
2) Corpus of the self & the collective body: corporeal self-understanding, body / collective bodies, ecology
3) Corpus of myths: explanatory myths, world views, religion, spirituality, arts, aesthetics, imagination
The shift in paradigms doesn't happen overnight, but usually takes several decades. The main point of interest in Ende’s work was to research how systemic changes manifest in workers' corporeality.
According to Ende, the corporeal turn is the latest corpus crisis of human history, the one before being the shift from the economic plurality of the Middle ages to monocultural capitalism.
The corporeal turn refers to both, the era we are currently living in, and the way our corporeality is changing at the moment.
The roots of the corporeal turn can be traced decades back. Some characteristics of it are clearly visible in, for example, new materialism, intersectional feminism, Black Lives Matter, landback movements of indigenous people, growing concerns regarding biomass, philosophy of technology, and corporeal economic theories of the School of Helsinki.
The term corporeal turn was originally coined by the Candama movement in an essay, in which they use it to describe the shift from late neo-liberal capitalism to the era of corporeal economy. |
