Prefatory note: It is hard to write convincingly about the sensations of scale. It is even harder to write convincingly about sensations from the long-ago past. This volume bravely makes the attempt: the authors and editors at many points invite us to imagine tiny objects and ancient humans performing with and for each other, and to focus our attention on the sensations of those imagined performances. In the spirit of this endeavor, I have written this review as a series of performance fragments. Although they are fictional, I believe they capture faithfully my own interactions with the wide variety of very small (and very large) objects, material and intellectual, that are on display in this work. Some of my theoretical inspirations in the area of object performance can be found at the end of the review.
'The Tiny and the Fragmented' demands a reconsideration of the social and contextual nature of miniaturization, fragmentation, and incompleteness, making the case that it was because of, rather than in spite of, their small or partial state that these objects were valued parts of the personal and social worlds they inhabited.
