She draws on concepts from tantra--a philosophy that celebrates matter as alive, embodiment as sacred, and the senses as a form of intelligence--alongside feminist, critical race, and cultural theory to meditate on the ways in which everyone and everything exists in mutually constitutive interrelations. Addressing issues ranging from desire, the body, nature, and love, to otherness, identity politics, social justice, #MeToo, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mani foregrounds the power and necessity of recognizing relationality as foundational. Throughout, she offers a way of reframing what we think we know and how we come to know it, demonstrating that it is only by acknowledging and embracing the indivisible and interdependent nature of existence that we restore our true intimacy with each other and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLata Mani is an independent scholar and filmmaker and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Integral Nature of Things: Critical Reflections on the Present\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSacredSecular: Contemplative Cultural Critique\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47369873260793,"sku":"9781478015659","price":145.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Ym1uVUtUOTl1VVg4UUVGU0E4eE9adz09.webp?v=1769994702","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/myriad-intimacies-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
