archive fire

Posted in Blog stuff on April 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Michael at the wonderfully named Archive Fire blog has been posting about a lot of the same topics that I try to cover here. (The top five categories in his tag cloud are Ecology, Power, Praxis, Sentience, and Theory.) In his words, Archive Fire explores issues “from critical theory, fringe politics and ecological science to […]

blogging comes to Vermont… (slowly)

Posted in Blog stuff on April 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

For what it’s worth (and probably of interest only to folks at the University of Vermont): According to the SmartViper web data analyzer, this blog’s home page is now the fifth most popular on the University of Vermont (blog.uvm.edu) server, and first among personal blogs. The top four are Blogging@UVM, UVM Admissions, the Agricultural Risk […]

triple digits

Posted in Blog stuff, tagged on April 3, 2010 | 5 Comments »

At some point over the past few weeks the number of GoogleReader subscribers to this blog inched up into the triple digits. (That doesn’t include subscribers on other feed readers.) While that’s no big deal compared to some of the blogs I follow, in terms of blog growth, which is probably more geometrical than arithmetical, […]

comments

Posted in Blog stuff on March 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Readers may have noticed that I’ve turned off automatic commenting to the blog. The ever increasing amount of spam, some of which always manages to squeeze its way through the (fairly strong) spam filter, was getting intolerable. I’ve just discovered, however, that a handful of genuine comments from longtime readers also got caught in the […]

more serious (nutritious) morsels…

Posted in Blog stuff, tagged , , on February 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Judith Butler’s recent talk on Alfred North Whitehead, which you can listen to here, is very impressive — and a heartening sign of the times. With Butler distancing herself from some of the implications of her earlier work on sex and gender (30-some minutes into the talk) and decisively settling into post-constructivist, non-anthropocentric, process-relational*, immanent […]

a year of immanence

Posted in Academe, Blog stuff, tagged on December 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »

The first anniversary of the launch of this blog passed quietly a couple of weeks ago. Since it’s coming around to the end of December and I’m about to take a holiday for a couple of weeks, I thought it appropriate to provide some reflections on its first year, accompanied by some statistics about its growth and a thought or two about its future. […]

One of the risks of electronic communication is that it can mislead you into thinking that you’re having an impact — because a smattering of people agree with you — when the only thing that’s happened is that you’ve found that smattering of people, spread around the world, who agree with you. But so has everyone else, including those who would disagree with you violently — and their opinions are probably multiplying at the same speed as yours. […]

In response to a few people’s queries about how I find the time to blog…

Incidentally I may have to shut down the automatic commenting capability on this blog for a little while to ward off the spamming machines that seem to have recently been attacking it.

bicycle diaries

Posted in Blog stuff on May 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

As many of us (academics) set off for various travels, a glance at David Byrne’s Journal can remind us of the value of the well-made observation. Byrne (yes, the Talking Head) has been posting his travel journals (to be published in the fall as Bicycle Diaries) alongside photographs, videos, and other observations on his blog […]

philosophy vs. ecoculture

Posted in Blog stuff, Philosophy on April 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Maybe part of the reason I’ve been writing more on philosophical themes here than on ‘ecoculture’ is the simple fact that I’m surrounded by environmental themes on a daily basis – in my teaching, reading and writing, in discussions with students and colleagues. But not a single one of my colleagues here is a philosopher […]

shared item links

Posted in Blog stuff on March 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve added some Google Reader “shared items” links to this page (scroll down to the “From Other Blogs” heading near the bottom of the sidebar), where you can click for links of interest from my blog reader. These will be updated automatically as I come across things that are relevant to this blog. They will […]
