Nostalgia, Ideology, and the Gothic
Honoured to speak at the Žižek conference in Prague on his ideological romanticism and, ultimately, conservative politics

Very excited and honoured to be included in the upcoming Haunted Futures conference in Cork!

I'll discuss the crisis of an increasingly hegemonic post-internet far right, and the relevance of hauntology for re-thinking antifascism

Excited to announce I'll be participating in a conference on Slavoj Žižek in Prague this November!

I'll be talking about the nostalgia disease, 'afflicted imagination', and the conservative limits of Žižek's romantic and bruising pathos of ideology theory

In postmodern culture, the genocidal fascist and failed comedian are one in being professional cynics.

They loooove debate. They intuitively understand that Power today is exercised as sleights of attention and simulation. They get their kicks from this exhaustion of language
