ABSTRACT
Roots that, pointing to an otherworldly correspondence in the coils of psycurity itself, further imply a source of fresh air within a neocolonial security state. Indeed, that with certain interlocutors they may even hold a potential to ‘re-turn’ paranoia’s etymological roots. For prodromal research to be a Stengersian success, then, it must be put into conversation with those voices typically not allowed through psycurity, those that one might encounter outside the gates. Standing at the gates of psycurity, it is only allowed entry to reality when stamped by the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes with Psychotic Disorder: detained in individualized psyches, blocked at the border, “That writhing serpent movement, the very movement of life, swifter than lightening, frozen”. With Gloria Anzaldua’s Coatlicue and Isabelle Stenger’s Whitehead, the problem of prodromal experiences moves away from the individual and toward the neocolonial security state that they encounter.
