Today’s episode explores the fluidity of human identity through the legacy of Genesis P-Orridge. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, describes the self as an evolving field rather than a fixed entity, suggesting that our personal histories behave more like unpredictable weather systems than linear timelines. By viewing memory as a non-linear force, Dr. Hoerricks argues that individuals possess a sovereign right to continually revise their own narratives in public spaces. This philosophy prioritises interconnectedness and contradiction over rigid authority or static definitions of being. Ultimately, she suggests that becoming is a perpetual process, where meaning often arrives late but provides a deeper truth through the rejection of traditional boundaries.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/gestalt-sovereignty-the-self-as-aLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
