Kate is immersed in other battles, engrossed in eyewitness accounts of an earlier war in ancient Persia.

If displacement can often be understood as spatial displacement, it can also be synonymous with psychological, social, and even aesthetic displacement, for instance through differ...

Listening in this manner brings togethe...
