I’ll be laying a little low as I travel over the next few weeks. Expect intermittent blogging over the summer as well, though it will undoubtedly get more active during the proposed Vibrant Matter<\/a> reading group, assuming that happens (it’s elicited interest so far from Peter Gratton at Philosophy in a Time of Error<\/a> and Scu at Critical Animal<\/a>). Antonio Lopez (Mediacology<\/a>) and I have also talked about an inter-blog reading group\/discussion of Integral Ecology<\/a>, the massive tome by Sean Esbjorn-Hargens and Michael Zimmerman.<\/p>\n

Other things on my reading list in the coming months include a lot of Peircian, Whiteheadian, and Deleuzian material, Tim Ingold’s Being Alive<\/a> once that comes out (which someone at Routledge suggested may be sooner than the listed publication date), and a fair bit of cinema\/media theory (such as Casetti’s Eye of the Century<\/a>, Rodowick’s Virtual Life of Film<\/a>, Ehrat’s Peircian Cinema and Semiotic<\/a>, and others), partly in preparation for my fall film course and partly related to the project we won’t mention. Add to that the Ranciere (Dissensus<\/a>) reading group that’s starting up here at UVM, and there’ll barely be any time left over for writing, or for enjoying the summer — neither of which should be even negotiable. That said, I would welcome discussions about anything along the above lines…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
