Performers include the human and nonhuman, the living and the nonliving. Through all this runs a complexity of technics—technologies and techniques—and these increasingly involve computational processes. How do we…[Read more]

This is the main concern though it is tie into VR and related technologies (as things were around 2004). I wrote this a very long time ago and never quite published it (I don’t think I tried). So it’s very much a draft.…[Read more]

Direct, exploitable and constantly inventive continuities between media and world are now the rule, not the exception. Indeed, the overlap sometimes seems almost total. Yet I will suggest that what looks strange in such assemblages
has always been…[Read more]

Much of this article will consider three of the most pervasive of the current disruptions as disruptions of living and feeling: climate change, social change, and, in more detail, what I will call a ‘third media revolution’. All three of these disru…[Read more]

Yet elsewhere we find something like an attempt to coalesce—occasionally even to delimit and police—a field of study. There is now—tentatively, at times argumentatively—something we call affect studies, or perhaps as…[Read more]

However, it has now expanded its range to “account” for a wide range of behaviours, thoughts and feelings, in the workplace and elsewhere. This article suggests that audit cultures are a response to the “abyss of the diffe…[Read more]
