Happy Earth Day, and many thanks to those of you who’ve written me kind and appreciative emails in reply to my last comment. I try to reply to emails individually, but just in case I don’t get around to it, your thoughts are always welcome and very appreciated. Gone to Earth (Haida Gwaii series, A. […]

Reduced flow
Posted in Blog stuff on April 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Substantive posts on this blog will be more sporadic for the coming little while, since I really need to focus on wrapping up my cinema book. But do let me know (by private email or public comment) if you’ve been finding the “Ecology-Ontology-Politics” series, or any of the other lengthier recent posts, useful. Those may […]
Cronon, Chomsky/Foucault, & public reason
Posted in Academe, Blog stuff, Media ecology, Process-relational thought, tagged aesthetics, Chomsky, Cronon, Foucault, Politics, Wisconsin on March 29, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The Bill Cronon-Wisconsin Republican party tangle is making me — and many others, judging by the responses I’ve seen on academic listservs — think a little more deeply about how we use our e-mail addresses. Like many, I’m troubled by the possibility that someone could ask to see my e-mail correspondence on any old topic. […]
Beyond blogs… to where?
Posted in Academe, Blog stuff, tagged Academe, academic blogging, blogosphere, digital humanities on March 22, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Ian Bogost throws out a challenge to us (bloggers) all: How should blogs evolve? What kinds of media do we want for our thinking, writing, debating, communicating? In other words, rather than celebrating what blogs allow us to do, or lament the knee-jerk negativity they still elicit in some (notably, academic) circles, and rather than […]
The anthro(polo)(blogo)sphere
Posted in Academe, Blog stuff, tagged academic blogging, anthropology on March 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Having looked at the debate among critical geographers over blogging and social media (here, here, and here), let’s look at another, adjacent discipline: anthropology. No work necessary: Ryan Anderson’s latest post at Ethnographix does it for us. Anthropologists, Anderson writes, have been “slow to find their way into the vastness that is the internet.” Fortunately, […]
Drip-drip or occasional release?
Posted in Blog stuff on March 6, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The last few posts raise the question of whether it’s better for me to post newsy snippets like these as separate blog posts, or if I should keep them in the Immanence Shadow Blog (Google shared items feed). I’ve generally confined them to the latter, except when there’s something particularly important or worthy of comment. […]
Hold your fire…
Posted in Blog stuff on March 5, 2011 | 9 Comments »
One of my favorite object-oriented bloggers (who we’ll call A) writes that “It’s not surprising that there’s a wave of attacks on scholarly blogging” (emphasis added), pointing to another’s (B’s) post about “blowback from academics regarding blogging.” B’s post cites only two examples, “here on (A’s) blog (circularity #1) and here on (C’s).” The one […]
Why blog (reprise)
Posted in Academe, Blog stuff on March 4, 2011 | 10 Comments »
Stu Elden has been posting about a debate debate on the Critical Geography listserv over the virtues and pitfalls of blogging, and of using blogs, Twitter, and other social media as research tools and data. I’ve been trying to follow that debate, at least to the extent that I’ve been able to follow anything on […]
Paradigms, productivity, perspective
Posted in Blog stuff, Philosophy, Process-relational thought, tagged object-oriented philosophy on January 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Levi Bryant responds to my last post (and by extension to Chris Vitale’s) here. I agree with him that he and Graham Harman have made worthy efforts at addressing concerns that are central to process-relational philosophical communities (e.g., in Bryant’s Difference and Givenness and in the books of Harman’s that I’ve lauded on this blog); […]
Why the wild things?
Posted in Blog stuff on January 8, 2011 | 6 Comments »
For some inexplicable reason, my post on Spike Jonze’s movie Where the Wild Things Are keeps getting an inordinate number of hits, seemingly from casual passersby. These are people from all over the world, coming (sometimes) in droves to that one blog post, generally dropping into this blog directly from Google, and I can’t find […]
2nd annual report
Posted in Blog stuff on December 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Compared to last year’s report, this one will be brief. The blog has been a little more active this past year than in its first year, featuring some 200 posts (compared to 140), many of them short but some quite substantial. Highlights included the cross-blog Vibrant Matter reading group (in May and June), the recurring […]
