Synecdoche replaces totalities by fragments (a less in the place of a more); asyndeton disconnects them by eliminating the conjunctive or the consecutive (nothing in place of something). Synecdoche makes more dense: It amplifies the detail and miniaturizes the whole. Asyndeton cuts out: it undoes continuity and undercuts its plausibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212; Michel de Certeau, Walking in the City<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the same way, in walking it selects and fragments the space traversed; it skips over links and whole parts that it omits.
