Concern for Belongingness: Visual Impairment and the Anxiety of Intimacy

Abstract

We are living in an age when we have outlived the golden era when we knew that our self is a mass of solid gold intrinsically coherent, consistent and unified and struggled to place it as “thing-in-itself” or “thing-for-itself”, and discovered our self/identity as made of elements melting, shaping, in flux and even enameled-moulding into and exhibiting itself in multitudinous pieces of ornaments.
