Remote folklore, remote societies are being abstracted from their matrix and enlarged by microscopio vision. Vivisective inspection of all modes of our own inner-outer individual-social lives makes us acutely sensitive to all inter-cultural and inter-media experience. Each culture, each period has its bias which intensifies, distorts some feature of the total social process. The bias of our culture is precisely to isolate the bias of all others in an effort at orchestration. Social connubium?
