Myriad Intimacies: Lata Mani

"Tantra conceives the universe as sentient and all life forms within it as equal. This egalitarian assessment extends to all life activity as well. Tantra honors embodiment as sacred, the senses as a form of intelligence, and each living entity as existing in two interlinked triadic relationships: self-other- connectivity; self-other-divinity."

Lata Mani is a feminist historian, cultural critic, contemplative writer, filmmaker and transmedia explorer. She has published on a broad range of issues, from feminism and colonialism, to illness, spiritual philosophy and contemporary politics. She was on the faculty of Women's Studies at the University of California, Davis, when a head injury in 1993 catapulted her into the world of illness and disability. This experience inaugurated a new phase of physical, intellectual and spiritual transformation, deepening previous commitments to social justice in unanticipated ways. Since then her writing has drawn on secular as well as contemplative frameworks in addressing pressing sociocultural issues. In the last decade her work has expanded to experiment with form and genre in exploring synergies between social inquiry, artistic practice & contemplative philosophy.

With Ruth Frankenberg she received and compiled The Tantra Chronicles, 2013, an E-book downloadable here.
