Very much looking forward to diving into the edited collection "The Senses and Memory"! My own chapter draws on the former prison site Biljmerbajes to explore the sensory (re)charging of urban spaces between memorizing their past and realizing their future.

Not poetry, but policy: The opening slides for my presentation at the #MediaAtmospheres symposium today – and a starting point to conceptualize how architectural media (including urban policy documents) are a site of both representing present atmospheres and constructing future atmospheres.

Hello... you 👀 If you are not sure how to spend your time until the final season of "YOU" premieres @netflix.com tomorrow, you could always (re)read my article on how viewers interrogate questions of monstrosity and morality through the visuality of the body.

A snapshot from last week's excursion to the #EyeFilmMuseum archive with my "Research Methods" seminar @vuamsterdam.bsky.social – we got to see the latest aquisitions, smell films with 'vinegar syndrome', shiver in the depot and ask all questions about what is (or is not) in the archive 👀

Had a brilliant time last week reflecting on "Writing with/for Others" with the RMa Students in Arts & Culture at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social – we talked about our 'audiences', embracing 'crises' in our writing processes and making collaborative forms of thinking + writing + publishing more common.

In "Through the looking glass", Sarah Banet-Weiser and @jillybkay.bsky.social argue that grasping the dynamics of ‘mirroring’ in digital culture is crucial for analyzing contemporary #gender politics as it plays out in an increasingly reactionary terrain.
