Chapter 0: Cast and Stage
SUMMARY
Chapter Zero: Cast and Stage introduces the casts and stages of the sections of this book’s chapters.
Every chapter has a modern and historical division, each with their own sections, characters and settings. Chapters have distinct subjects and messages, with a view of transmitting knowledge about transmission of knowledge, and an eye on the multi-layered and open-ended nature of knowledge itself. The sections of each chapter, narrate, through the casts of an ‘old manuscript’, a ‘young narrator’, and an ‘Arab’ and ‘Persian’ city on a chronological stage, the unfolding of time’s embrace beyond the bounds of any one land or age.
