ABSTRACT

Images of a different world may be disruptive and even scary. A different world, if it is truly different, must surely disrupt the world we know as ours, the world in which we now live. The science fiction genre, for example, has been disrupting and scaring us for decades. Such images of different worlds, of course, rely upon a current understanding of "a world" as a key source for the generation of disruption. A different world is difficult to imagine and living in it is even more difficult to imagine and sometimes, even, unimaginable. It is easier to imagine the end of the world of sight than it is to imagine a different world of blindness. It is easier to see the end of sight than it is to see blindness. The power of sight is blinded by its own limit.
