Author Lennard J. Davis talks about the history of obsession. To be obsessive is to be American; to be obsessive is to be modern. But obsession is not only a phenomenon of modern existence: it is a medical category—both a pathology and a goal. Behind this paradox lies a fascinating history.
Davis lectured on obsession in the Fall of 2008.
