As part two of M. S. Strickland’s work-in-prog., Towards a Schizomythology of Ritual, Divastigations functions as a sort of distaff companion to that opus cursorium’s first part, Compass (2001). In Compass, Dado Udidi’s pugnacious, subsultory rants of diurnally solipsistic masculinity ramify into a lugubrious, palilalic rhapsody of discordant, traumatic illuminations. In Divastigations, by contrast, Ouida Willoughby Johnson’s lucubratory praxis of prosocial womaninity unspools dithyrambic axiomata of oracular carnality such that a “lucid flow of fact and fabulation,” as Ouida says, brings about a flippantly haptic, insouciantly pornocratic “ductility of glyph and word” — that is, ludict — which “molds form from form’s omission.”
