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.
