Thank you Hindustan Times for listing ´Video Cultures in India’ as one of your favourite reads of the year. Thanks to The Print for publishing an excerpt from the book.
In a difficult year personally, I have deep gratitude for everyone who engaged with the book in and outside academia.

I'm as happy as anyone about SCMS's statement on the AMPAS staff cuts, but I can't help compare this speedy response to the lack of any statement about the genocide in Gaza, even after a petition with the largest list of signatories in the organization's history asked them to do so.

Frame 9: "Pro-Palestine Protests on University Campuses (Notes from Spring, 2024)" is now live on Cultural Critique's website. Long in the works, it seemed it might never come out at all. It reads differently and importantly 6 months late(r).

I've spoken to a number of ppl who said they did not feel comfortable using the term "genocide" until a report like this came out. Here's hoping their reservations are done now and that we can stop arguing semantics instead of trying to stop the slaughter itself.
The UN has now formally found Israel's genocide "consistent with genocide", including the use of weaponized starvation.

Since everyone is introducing themselves or talking about their favourite books, I thought I will informally introduce myself through what I have read, am reading, and about to read in the past 2 months.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc
