Witness testimony provides the first draft of history, and requires a kind of reading that connects descriptions of events from many perspectives and sources. “Reading Certainty” examines one critical step in that process, namely how a group of approximately 230 readers decided whether a statement about an event is credible and factual.

Any information collected in a database for performing arts thus seems to be of second order, paraphrasing what cannot be reproduced.…[Read more]
