• " ... the Jamaican novelist, dramatist, and philosopher Sylvia Wynter invokes a 'ceremony' as a revolutionary rite of passage: a 'marriage' that breaks through capitalist modernity's constiutive antagonisms, overcoming and remodeling the status-granting categories that reproduce its established modes of world-creation. This calls for a new engagement with origin narratives ... [This] is a project on the cosmological functions of art, subverting the reproduction of the value forms of 'modern art,' according to which the autonomous and secular artist as exemplary modern subject is tasked with individually imaging 'alternative cosmologies.'"--Page 8, 11.
