ABSTRACT This article considers the figure of the Monster through the sublime example of David Bowie. It will first provide a theoretical framework for understanding this legal category and social theory template for the outsider. In doing so, it will draw, in particular, on the work of Michel Foucault and Georges Canguilhem, work which understands the monster in terms of a double breach, of nature and law. However, the article will supplement Foucault and Canguilhem’s theoretical and historical observations with a recognition of the monster’s intrinsic hopefulness - it guarantees us a future and points to the place of the sacred. Through Bowie, we will journey through the territory of sex, gender and sexuality, human/animal hybridity, and the sacred and profane and, in the process, consider some key categorical distinctions that the monster brings to crisis.
