Attention carries a power of collection which ensures very complex modes of interaction between social groups and the individuals emanating from them. The etymology of colligere points to the action of ‘gathering together’ – which should be understood in two different, but intimately entangled, senses.

Yves Citton

Fear and Trembling
Søren Kierkegaard, Johannes de silentio, and John of the Silence
