Blanchon’s art is materially spare, mostly texts and photographs, often combined. An early and recurring subject was art itself. He created his own versions, which fall somewhere between send-up and homage, of signature pieces by successful older contemporaries like Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Gober a...

Nor does the premise that organisms defend themselves at the cellular or molecular levels. For nearly two thousand years "immunity," a legal concept invented in ancient Rome, serves almost exclusively political and juridical ends. "Self defense" also originates in a juridico-political context; it emerges in the mid-seventeenth century, during the English Civil War, when Thomas Hobbes defines it as the first "natural right."
