On Flinching: Theatricality and Scientific Looking from Darwin to Shell Shock
Watt Smith, Tiffany (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Queen Mary, University of London)
On Flinching explores the cultural history of flinches, winces, cringes and starts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taking the flinches of scientific observers as its starting point, it likens scientific experiments to the emotional interactions between audiences and actors in the theatre of this period.
