Meaningful Things and Appropriate Myths: The Artifact's Place in American Studies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2009
Extract
We quiet the inner voices that mock our free will, comforting ourselves that clocks in their turning kill time. But the past is not dead. It lives in mind, as mind. Our thoughts arise, our words appear, our deeds emerge out of the past. Subtly or obviously, now is made of then. The past tests our uniquely human birthright, lending us the strength to act freely and cajoling us to deny innate potentials and create the future in its image.
