- Description
- Contemplates relations among time, seriality, causality, movement, and dancing, exploring the experiences of moving through Robert Smithson's monumental contemporary sculpture "Spiral Jetty" and watching a film of the experience as analogues to the experiences of medieval dance and references to dancing in FranT, where style and syntax evoke kinetic participation and destabilize connections between movement in time and causation, challenging modern notions of literary form. Includes four b&w illustrations.
