Performance is a Collision Course
Doorjambs and the Promise of Engaged Scholarship
Beyond Experience
In response to the essays by Brower, Adams, and Jones in this volume, this essay argues against the ocular-empiricism of eyewitness by which sight authenticates experience and experience authenticates the seeing-self.
