Abstract
[...] it creates this latter developmental temporality-a seamless recognition of antecedents, a Whiggish, high-fiving confirmation as we moderns look back-by slighting, dismissing, or repressing the later bricks as "non-historic." [...] a third way occurs: consider the serious play of a cat, batting at the past with the mix of fierce intensity, lingering meditation, and distracted hustle that balls of yarn or string toys inspire.
