Angela Zito, 1979/1984: Of Scholarship, Sinological Tourism, and Thermoses:
In the long 1980s, I was just living. When you are just living, your point of view is so narrow — yet you do not know. We sing from inside our temporal cages. We only see them after we have made larger ones; we only see them from far away. Decentering the self may be the start of accounting for how the self exists in the world.
