I am a media and communication scholar drawing from psychoanalytical theory, political philosophy and anthropology. The question of how media technology shapes culture and society seems too important to me to be left to surface studies. Dissuaded by empiricism in its various garbs, I've turned to anthropology and arts for an interpretative vantage point humbly suitable for perceptive beings, like us. Old-fashioned approaches to the study of media – i.e., close reading or sustained observation – remain innovative and true enough for our needs. There is no defensible philosophical standpoint to justify the current post-positivist inertia of data-driven science.

Check out my essays, and various other writings on film and culture, not least unrealised artistic projects. And remember to save string.
