MS#73. Human Fractals: the Arabesque in Our Mind, 1992
Subjects: Psychology, psychotherapy
Written: 7 December 1992
Abstract: The rise of fractal geometry as a new branch of mathematics is intertwined with paradigm shifts in the sciences. First, the physical sciences were impacted, then the biological, and now, the social sciences. What are we to think of the diffusion of fractals into cultural studies? Here, in response to Marilyn Strathern's important contribution to this volume, One-legged gender, we review the fractalization of anthropology since Donna Haraway's Cyborgs of 1985.
