Notes
Norberg-Schulz's term "alétheic images" referenced Heidegger's Alétheia (self-disclosed truth), but the chapter calls this "an instrumental misreading of Heidegger, who after all mounted one of the most powerful critiques of representation as the dominant intellectual paradigm of modernity" (Heidegger 1977 [1952]).
