NEW ESSAY — “Fear and Fragility: The Glass Delusion and Its History” — https://publicdomainreview.org/.../fear-and-fragility.../
In early modern Europe, around the time when lenses began to bring the world (and heavens) into newfound focus, patients started appearing in medical records with a particular ailment: a firm belief that they were made of glass. Tamara Sanderson investigates the source and manifestation of this delusion, and finds a psychological idiom that once carried the weight of what could otherwise not be said. Kuva vähem
