Clive Barnett recently blogged about an interview with philosopher (and native Tunisian) Mehdi Belhaj Kacem over on lacan.com a website I find nearly impossible to navigate(!). In the interview Kacem is rather damning of Badiou (whom I believe he previously had worked with):
It’s obvious that Badiou and Zizek, who reacted [...]
I’ve uploaded a PDF of my PhD thesis for people to download [2.1Mb PDF ] should anyone feel so inclined. I have had a finalised version for a little while and have been meaning to make it available but just haven’t got round to it before now.

Practising Tomorrows’ Today – Examining the anticipatory logics and techniques of urban-ubiquitous computing development Practising the technics of disappearance: emergent spatialities and the experimental development [...]
In the first week of March I travelled to the San Francisco Bay area. The purpose of my visit was to meet with key people relevant to my research.
For the RGS-IBG annual conference 2008 my colleague James Ash and I are proposing a session on understandings of technology in geography. We welcome expressions of interests. I include the abstract for the session below.
I am in the process of revising a paper that is in the process of review for publication entitled Embracing entanglements: Problematising the cosmopolitics of mobile communications technologies. I include below the abstract. If you are interested in this research feel free to contact me to discuss it [...]
