| Formatted contents note | I<br/>Vanishing Twins<br/>19<br/>Identical twins are creatures ol a terrible ambiguity, lor they com<br/>promise the values we place upon the individual even as they promise<br/>what we so desperatelv want: laithful companionship, mutual<br/>understanding. I he vanishing twin is our solution and absolution.<br/>I!<br/>Doppelgiingers<br/>49<br/>Siamesed twins are our horror stories, in bondage to likeness;<br/>thev remind us ol tatelul Doppelgiingers Irom whom we can never be<br/>separated till death do us part. We minister to these doubles<br/>In Irving to restore singidaritv, the wholeness that is dillerence.<br/>III<br/>Self-portraits<br/>89<br/>Yet our hunger for likeness, driven by an economic system, a social<br/>fabric, and sets of technologies which profit by making the<br/>similar seem remarkable, leads us to ever-more sophisticated semblances<br/>which we are hard pressed to distinguish one from the other.<br/>IV<br/>Second Nature<br/>143<br/>Nor are we now so clear about the boundaries between ourselves<br/>and the rest of the animal world, especially where those animals who<br/>speak our speeches and act our acts appear to take on the best<br/>or most striking of human qualities.<br/>V<br/>Seeing Double<br/>175<br/>Where, then, are our own skills at disguise, decoy, and<br/>deception leading us?<br/>VI<br/>Ditto<br/>211<br/>Toward anticipations that the copy will transcend the original<br/>VII<br/>Once More, with Feeling<br/>259<br/>and toward a faith in rccnactnicnt and replication as means to<br/>arrive at the truth.<br/>VIII<br/>Discernment<br/>321<br/>in consequence, we confront on every hori/on problems of<br/>duplicity and virtuality, which must be resolved before we can reclaim<br/>or re-create a persuasive notion of authenticity. |
