THE IMAGO MACHINE #1: EPISTOLARY AS A COLLAPSE OF DISTANCE When I was a more-practicing Byzantinist than I am now, o my friends-of-the-newsletter, I spent most of my time writing about epistolary -- that is, letter-writing -- amongst Byzantine diplomats far from home. Over and over I returned to the concept of the letter as a collapse of distance. A letter brings two people together over time and over space. I am writing this now from Mexico City, where I am attending the Understanding Risk 2018 forum, because I have become a person who does risk communication and disaster planning. I don't know where you are, my friends-of-the-newsletter, but when you read this we are very briefly in the same space, at the same time: the space of the letter.
