Symmetrically Significant: Essays, David Stephen Haydon
Symmetrically Significant: Essays, David Stephen Haydon
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This collection of personal essays explores the use of symmetry as a metaphor of normality in contemporary American culture. These essays use formalistic exploration to enter into a conversation with the reader regarding the body, sexuality, gender, and mental illness. Each piece aims to dismantle and explode the metaphorical significations of symmetry through the use of interdisciplinary research combined with memoir.
