Blogs

Déjà Vu Is history repeating itself? The Déjà Vu blog investigates... Stunt Doubles — A publicity stunt may have caused the crash of the Costa Concordia, and in 1926 a candy company wounds its intended audience. A Vision of Infinite Space — In 4th century China, the heavens were empty of substance, but the 21st century government has again committed to a space program. Cry Me A River — The people of North Korea mourn their leader passionately and violently, much like the mourners of Ancient Greece.
Roundtable Insight and analysis from renowned writers and thinkers. Post Secrets — The young women of old New York had their mail monitored by parents and servants until they could visit that epistolary den of vice, the post office. Back Matter — “The world is a great volume, and man the Index of that Book.” The Myth of the Fourth Estate — We should think of reading the paper and watching the news as acts belonging to the world of ritual as much as the commerce of information.
