Wooden Eyes: Nine Reflections on Distance
Wooden Eyes Nine Reflections on Distance Author:Carlo Ginzburg Ginzburg addresses the question: "What is the exact distance that permits us to see things as they are?" He reflects on themes of feeling astray, of familiarization and defamiliarization, going on to consider the concepts of perspective, representation, imagery, and myth, and the recurring issue of the opposition between Jews and Christians.
