fields harrington and David L. Johnson make dispassionate work with a relentless clear minded logic that allows it to circumvent the tyranny of aesthetic discourse. Things as they are; non-metaphorical specific artifacts severed from an existing social, economic, scientific, or structural context. The specificity of the objects is so critical that we wonder if the system they were pulled from now has a hole in it, a structural flaw, a point where the whole enterprise might fail or collapse.
