* 2009 , Carol E. Henderson, America and the black body
- Each body is in this sense two bodies or a kind of double helix where two opposite sides of one ribbon touch and describe a circle of time and space, a here and now, an entry into worldness. Or, rather, in the case of the animate human body, almost touch, almost close into a circle, and this almostness is equally essential to the possibility of worldness.
