Thanks for stopping by. This blog started an age ago in internet
time, when blogging began and Google was an empire of 2. Intermittent
to the point of absentee landlord, this place doesn't often have any
new inhabitants, in fact, the decor changes more often. The main
subjects are art, media and politics, and often the passion is where
all three of these intersect.
Aside from the above, this website is a repository for a lot of the academic work I did on the 1968 films of Jean-Luc Godard between 1996 and 2000.
