The globality of “Hands Off!”
Posted in Uncategorized on April 6, 2025 | Leave a Comment »
The best context for thinking of yesterday’s “Hands Off!” protests, held across the United States and in cities around the world, is the one Rebecca Solnit gets at in her post of this morning on Meditations in an Emergency. It is the global context described here: “Right now Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom; Bangladeshis […]

Sharing info on tomorrow’s University of Vermont event on “Indigenous Sovereignty, Race-Shifting, and University Responsibility,” which I am honored to facilitate.

The ecology of spacetime
Posted in Uncategorized on September 7, 2022 | Leave a Comment »
Physicists tell us that spacetime is a unity, or at least a singular continuum or “manifold.” But those of us who inhabit it experience it in two distinct dimensions: extension, which we call “space,” and duration, which we call “time.” Extension enables our encounter with difference; duration, with change. (As an aside: physicists conventionally speak […]

I’ve been quarantining, more or less, since I brought Covid back with me from Switzerland. (Conferences in Europe these days seem to be very efficient super-spreaders). It’s Day 17 now, with symptoms and positivity having returned last week after a few days of feeling fine and testing negative. Like Edward Gorey’s doubtful guest, this one […]

I’ll be giving an online public talk called “The Invasion of Ukraine as a Turning Point?” for the University of California Santa Barbara this Tuesday at 4 pm Pacific Standard Time (7 pm Eastern US/Canada time, 11 pm GMT). It hinges on the idea that the Russian invasion, like other unexpected “hyper-events” (such as the Covid-19 […]
Decolonialism and Ukraine
Posted in Uncategorized on March 23, 2022 | Leave a Comment »
A piece of mine on “Decolonialism and the Invasion of Ukraine” has appeared on E-Flux, the Sternberg and U. of Minnesota Press critical arts journal. It’s associated with a series on the topic including Oleksiy Radynski’s “The Case Against the Russian Federation” (to which it is a response), an anonymous “Appeal to Decolonize the Russian […]
UCSB film & media studies talk

As part of my Visiting Scholar gig at the University of California Santa Barbara’s Carsey-Wolf Center, where I am for the next few months, I gave a talk last week called “The Image of Disaster: Image Events, Spaces of Suffering, and the Anthropo(S)cene.” It’s a remix of things I’ve said and done before, with moderate […]
Pluto descending a staircase

I’ve created a new page for my trilogy of piano recordings, made between 2006 and sometime in the mid-2010s, which made use of the Yamaha Clavinova’s capacity for altering the piano’s tuning system away from the “equal temperament” westerners (and now the world) have gotten used to, and toward some more interesting sonic terrain. As […]
The week in a minute

In a week of startling developments, some things still sound like they’re from The Onion. Or at least Harper’s Findings. They aren’t. In a week of police riots capping decades of ethnic violence in a country torn asunder by authoritarianism, a dismal economy, and plague, police responding to a bee sting were attacked by a […]
Pronoun statement
Posted in Uncategorized on January 1, 2019 | 2 Comments »
As more people attach pronouns to their names (“she/her,” “they, their,” et al.), both in print and when speaking — intended as a way of respecting and “normalizing” pronoun preferences beyond the simple binary of “he” and “she” — I’ve come to recognize a certain awkwardness in one of the common variations: the use of […]
