Re: What Are Books?
the material
How fantastic to come back to the book's materiality, Lisa-- I love that video-- but to see that materiality literally animated, its own narrative transformed by other media forms into something beside (or besides) itself. I wonder, though, about the ... -
So here's a surprise.
Electronic communication can surprise you. I was in mid-draft on this post on Wednesday, thinking I'd swoop back in Thursday evening and finish things up, before going live on Friday, and just now discovered that the post in fact went live today-- wh ... -

I was interested in the same moment that Jason notes, and particularly in the ways that future-Hiro, by becoming a superhero, has come to conform to western ideals of masculinity, not only replacing his nerdy glasses with a soul patch, but also losing his ... -
Wow -- this is a really
Wow-- this is a really compelling scene, Chad. It seems to me a useful enactment of the transition in the understanding of power from the Althusserian model of the state apparatus, whether repressive or ideological, to Foucault's notion of power/know ...
