Abstract

This is an article about the blurred borders between fiction and ‘fact’, between science and humbug, and between different ways of reading. Unexpected modes of consuming texts are explored; transposition of the senses, Jules Romain’s theories of la vision extra-rétinienne and le sens paroptique, and the famous Rosa Kuleshova’s dermo-optical perception.
