Throughout U.S. history monstrous language has been deployed against racialized individuals. This essay examines the classification of monster by analyzing rhetoric on the racialized monster, the film Get Out (2017), and coloniality of time strategy discourses. While there are multiple dimensions to this topic, for this essay, I argue that monster rhetoric applied to racialized subjects shed light on the insidiousness embedded in the coloniality of time strategy as expressed discursively; monster rhetoric makes the effects of the coloniality of time discourses palpable in ways that unveil the overpowering dimension of the violence inflicted through racism. In order to identify and resist deployments of coloniality of time strategy through monstrification rhetoric, decolonizing time is an essential task to continue the difficult work of dismantling white supremacist tactics of oppression in order to support constructive philosophical-religious analysis rooted in antiracist foundations.

This paper discusses the works of author Richard S. Shaver, who rose to prominence in the science fiction world in the 1940s with stories describing a vast underworld of caverns under the surface of the earth. These caverns were inhabited by evil beings called “dero” that used high-tech devices to torment the inhabitants of the surface world. Shaver, who had spent several years in mental institutions prior to his writing career, claimed his stories were true, and Amazing’s editor, Raymond A. Palmer, aggressively promted the “Shaver Mystery.” This prompted a backlash from science fiction fandom against both Shaver and Palmer. This paper gives an overview of Shaver’s career and explores his world-system as a form of theodicy, drawing in particular on his novel Mandark, a retelling of portions of the Bible narrative. Shaver’s monsters and their devices are examples of an “influencing machine,” a commonly-occurring delusional phenomenon first described by psychologist Victor Tausk in 1919, an externalized force that a patient believes is the source of thoughts and sensations. This paper argues that, for Shaver, the dero provided a psychological framework for processing tragic and traumatic events, externalizing tormenting forces into monsters. His fiction then became a force for combatting those torments within a narrative context. Like other conspiracy theories, the Shaver Mystery seeks to impose order on a chaotic world.
作者理查德·s·谢弗在20世纪40年代的科幻小说世界中崭露头角，他的小说描述了地球表面下一个巨大的地下洞穴。这些洞穴里居住着被称为“德罗”的邪恶生物，他们使用高科技设备折磨地表世界的居民。在开始写作之前，谢弗曾在精神病院待过几年，他声称自己的故事是真实的，《惊奇》杂志的编辑雷蒙德·a·帕尔默(Raymond A. Palmer)积极宣传《谢弗之谜》。这引起了科幻迷对谢弗和帕尔默的强烈反对。本文概述了谢弗的职业生涯，并探讨了他作为一种神正论形式的世界体系，特别是他的小说《曼达克》，这是对圣经叙事部分的复述。Shaver的怪物和它们的装置是“影响机器”的例子，这是一种常见的错觉现象，最早由心理学家Victor Tausk在1919年描述，是一种外在的力量，病人认为它是思想和感觉的来源。本文认为，对于Shaver来说，dero提供了一个处理悲剧和创伤事件的心理框架，将折磨人的力量外化为怪物。于是，他的小说成为了在叙事背景下对抗这些折磨的一种力量。像其他阴谋论一样，剃须刀之谜试图给混乱的世界带来秩序。

Scholarship on monstrosity has often focused on those beings that produce fear, terror, anxiety, and other forms of unease. However, it is clear from the semantic range of the term “monster” that the category encompasses beings who evoke a wide range of emotions. I suggest that scholars have largely displaced first-person accounts of the monstrous and those accounts which do not rely upon horror or anxiety, and I propose a three-category system to correct this displacement. These categories draw from Derrida’s notion of the domestication of the monster and Žižek’s notion of a “fantasy screen” for the monstrous. These categories encourage further research, both between categories of the monstrous and categories that would not typically fit within this descriptor.
