Life-Size
This entry posits the life-size as a form of “technology” for collapsing time and space and closes by suggesting some ways in which literary authors were inspired by the proliferation of life-size forms in culture

One of the most heated areas of discussion around monumental sculpture today is whether problematic past statues should be torn down.

Rather, these artworks, the people \nthey represent, and the characters who look at them, are all potential participants in \nan elaborate and politically charged process of social and psychological refashioning \nfor an ascend…
