I am indebted to @furtherfield for posting a link to the blog communication+1, which has a YouTube video of Alexander Galloway giving a talk, at the at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (December 2nd, 2011), on ‘Deleuze and Computers’.
The inimitable Galloway identifies Deleuze’s “Postscript on the Societies of Control” as a [...]
I am slowly but surely working my way through Bernard Stiegler’s writings, and really enjoying doing so. These notes are just a way of distilling some the themes I’ve encountered and I haven’t posted anything for a while on this blog.

I include below the abstract. If you are interested in this research feel free to contact me to discuss it [...]
It is frustrating that the push to build a career can, in many cases, motivate the forming of neologisms for the same old concepts, to stake a claim to ‘new ground’ – hijacking history in the name of the ‘new’. Which leads me to ask – when discussing the various ways in which we relate [...]
What follows is the Abstract to my Masters degree dissertation.
An End to Cyberspace? Metaphor, Affect and Socio-Technical Relations
