Tybjerg, Casper2018-09-262018-09-262013https://www.necsus-ejms.org/test/the-sown-and-the-waste-or-the-psychedelic-writing-of-film-history/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/3286The word ‘psychedelic’ was coined in the 1950s by psychiatrist Humphry Osmond to describe hallucinogenic drugs like mescaline and LSD – but this essay will not be about either the history of ‘head’ films or how to write film history on acid. What I want to do is to show what film historians can learn from J.H. Hexter’s writings on the rhetoric of history, including a look at what he meant when he wrote about how historians use language ‘psychedelically’.engCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 GenericAbfallGeschichtefilmhistorypsychedelicwaste809Jack H.
