Zusammenfassung

Joachim Höflich has been a seminal contributor to the field of mobile communication and indeed, it was through this work that I had my first personal encounter with him. The occasion was a meeting hosted in Budapest by Kristóf Nyíri at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2002. In my mind’s eye, I can still see him standing beneath bucolic murals of Hungarian landscapes in the palace’s capacious meeting rooms, reading with gusto his paper to the assembled scholars.

This essay originally appeared in: Vision fulfilled: The victory of the pictorial turn, edited by András Benedek and Kristóf Nyíri, a volume published in 2018 by The Hungarian Academy of Science, Budapest. I thank Elizabeth Crocker and Daniel Halpern for their assistance in preparing that chapter, which has been revised for this Festschrift.
