Often he explored the realm of science and technology as distinctly modern manifestations of power\u2019s dual capacity for the creation of magical delight or total annihilation.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Send a (well-encrypted) thank-you note to the antiauthoritarian librarian in your life: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/206561\/librarians-versus-nsa\" target=\"_blank\">Librarians have frequently been involved in the fight against government surveillance<\/a>. The first librarian to be locked up for defending privacy and intellectual freedom was Zoia Horn, who spent three week in jail in 1972 for refusing to testify against anti\u2013Vietnam War activists. During the Cold War, librarians exposed the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s attempts to recruit library staffers to spy on foreigners, particularly Soviets, through a national effort called the Library Awareness Program. The post-Snowden Internet age is no different.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The county of Dorset, along the coast of England, gave Thomas Hardy \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/05\/10\/travel\/on-englands-coast-thomas-hardy-made-his-world.html\" target=\"_blank\">the pastoral landscapes that he is famous for describing<\/a>; the farmland and heath with sandstone cottages, sheep pastures and Roman roads ending abruptly at dramatic seaside cliffs. And since Dorset is relatively unspoiled by modern development, it isn\u2019t hard to imagine, with a squint of the eyes, the countryside as Hardy saw it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Irish landscape, meanwhile, contains such well-documented beauty and blight that any writer who takes it on risks courting clich\u00e9\u2014but why not try anyway? \u201cOver the years <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/may\/09\/return-western-shore-anne-enright-yielding-irish-tradition\" target=\"_blank\">I had avoided what I call \u2018the landscape solution\u2019<\/a> in Irish prose, whereby the writer puts the word \u2018Atlantic\u2019 or \u2018bog\u2019 into the story and some essential yearning in her character is fixed. But there I was myself, getting fixed on the green road, and it seemed to me that this was something I should allow myself to write about now.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in living, breathing metaphors: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/magazine-32625632\" target=\"_blank\">people who think they\u2019re made of glass<\/a>. When glass was a new and seemingly magical material, glass delusions manifested relatively commonly; about midway through the nineteenth century, though, doctors began to see fewer and fewer of them. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to assume society and culture are so changed that mentally ill people would no longer manifest this particular delusion. But a psychiatrist from the Netherlands has uncovered contemporary cases \u2026 The glass delusion has powerful contemporary resonance in a society in which anxieties about fragility, transparency, and personal space are pertinent to many people&#8217;s experience of, and anxieties about, living in the modern world.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Burden\u2014who spent five days in a school locker, hammered a metal stud into his sternum, and had himself shot in the arm by a rifle from fifteen feet, all in the name of art\u2014has died at sixty-nine. \u201cPower was a central motif in Burden\u2019s work.
