Psychomotor Aesthetics
The Science of Walking
Richard Noakes, Physics and Psychics
The lure of spiritual and psychical phenomena has haunted modern science for at least two centuries, peaking in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, when a remarkable number of eminent British physicists devoted precious time and lent considerable prestige to the topic. Richard Noakes’ deeply researched, definitive study admirably steers clear of the biases that have clouded literature on the topic of science and psychical research.…
Helmholtz
The name Helmholtz has in recent years been attached to many important and prestigious new German institutions. Like fellow scientists Alexander von Humboldt and Max Planck, two scientists with whom he was connected, and whose lives overlapped his own like bookends, Helmholtz clearly fits the bill of a historical figure both large enough and sufficiently unscathed to represent twenty-first century institutions. Yet Helmholtz differs from some of …
Edward Ross Dickinson. Dancing in the Blood
Between 1902 and 1914, a throng of slender, young, scantily dressed female dancers descended upon European stages to swirl, spin, and vault their audiences into aube-de-siècle modernity. In Dancing in the Blood: Modern Dance and European Culture on the Eve of the First World War, Edward Ross Dickinson shows how modern dance—formerly a topic confined to dance history—came to stand at the bleeding edge of European and, ultimately, global modernist …
Self-Projection
ArgumentThis essay considers the metaphors of projection in Hugo Münsterberg's theory of cinema spectatorship. Münsterberg (1863-1916), a German born and educated professor of psychology at Harvard University, turned his attention to cinema only a few years before his untimely death at the age of fifty-three. But he brought to the new medium certain lasting preoccupations. This account begins with the contention that Münsterberg's intervention in…

How Edvard Munch and August Strindberg Contracted Protoplasmania
Late nineteenth-century scientists sought to bring together energy and evolution through the elastic, semi-fluid substance preponderant in the cells of all organisms: protoplasm. For several decades protoplasm functioned as a "boundary-object", supporting a myriad of scientific problems and research constituencies. This essay considers research into protoplasm as the bearer of vibrations thought to store organic memory, including heredity, and se…

My own field-work, on which this paper is based, was done among the Bangwa, a Bamileke group of the Cameroons. The Bamileke have been described as practising a special form of marriage, known as ngkap marriage. The principle is simple…
