fenestrum
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: fenestra
form: fenestrums
Senses: examples: text: I cannot believe that the most expert obstetrician could have detected the presence of the arm in the fenestrum before the attempted withdrawal of the instruments. For this reason I am ready to inquire whether the fenestrum has any reason to exist. What is it good for, anyway? It has been said in most of the systemic treatises that the fenestrum gives lightness to the forceps, but this proposition, which is at first glance very plausible, admits of question.[…]In any instrument shop we may find examples of forceps which appear to have passed through this line of development; they are light blades with big fenestra and thick metal.

ref: 1912, The Year Book of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, page 302:
text: On the opposite lateral surface to this is a second similar lateral fenestrum, which begins 3 cm. from the tip of the tube. The fenestrum is placed at this point not only to permit free siphonage of gastric contents, but also to facilitate the introduction of the tube.[…]Eight centimeters from the tip of the tube are placed three round fenestra, of a diameter of 2 mm.
ref: 1914, JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, page 454:
text: On the other hand, don’t be pedantic—if you want to come into this school of modernized medical English. You must not write “fenestra” (plural, “fenestrae”), but “fenestrum” (plural, “fenestra”); you are not in Rome so you don’t have to say what the Romans would have said. Therefore also say “this data,” instead of “these data.”

text: 2011 Philip Doty, "Privacy, Reading, and Trying Out Identity: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act and Technological Determinism", in Privacy in America: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, edited by William Aspray and Philip Doty, Scarecrow Press, p. 240.
As is widely recognized, the technophoria of these and similar authors is all too common, with only Castells of the three offering any serious and specific critique of such enthusiasm.
text: The technophoria of the mid-1990s has, however, left an unfortunate legacy: digital media and print culture studies' avid attention to changing e-book formats and digital rights skirmishes has distracted both fields from considering the surprising resilience of literary discussion.
ref: 2015, Simone Murray, “Charting the Digital Literary Sphere”, in Contemporary Literature, volume 56, number 2, page 316:
text: 2017 Joshua Clover, "The Technical Composition of Conceptualism," in Literature and the Global Contemporary, edited by Sarah Brouillette, Mathias Nilges and Emilio Sauri, Palgrave Macmillan, p. 110.
Rather than resolve this tension directly, one might suggest that this incoherence signals the possibility of another periodization to be found beneath the technophoria, itself veritably rapturous in its vision of a human race relieved by robots not only from producing but also consuming—a periodization in which neither the anxiety over thwarted innovation nor the hurry of technological progress functions as cause of these poetic and more broadly social developments.
