Blending close engagement with Anzaldúa, decolonial thought, indigenous cosmologies, and personal visionary experience, Gabriel Hartley offers a rigorous yet evocative reimagining of darkness as a generative force in fractured times. \u003cbr\u003eDivided into two stages, this book takes Gloria Anzaldúa's concept of the Coyolxauhqui imperative-dismemberment without final resolution-as its guiding force, refusing narratives of healing that promise closure. Stage I, \u003ci\u003eThe Anzaldúan Vortex\u003c\/i\u003e, follows a geomantic sequence through the Medicine Wheel, the open wound, curanderismo, and a series of goddess figures-Coatlicue, Tlazolteotl, and Coyolxauhqui-understood not as symbols to be interpreted but as chthonic agencies that draw consciousness into recursive descent. Stage II,\u003ci\u003e Into the Cenote\u003c\/i\u003e, enters the cenote as a living transformation engine rather than a metaphor. Here, Hartley introduces the Cenotehedron and the Š-dimension as structures of descent, perforation, and inversion, culminating in an account of Coyolxauhqui's dark radiance as a mode of illumination that emerges from fragmentation itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGabriel Hartley\u003c\/b\u003e is retired Professor of English at Ohio University.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666970913\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369640394892,"sku":"9781666970913","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_cdc68c92-25aa-4cda-af62-ff2e6f1f540c.jpg?v=1783879972","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781666970913","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
