Of: Becoming World – on William Connolly

Posted on May 20, 2011 by stuartelden

‘Of: Becoming World’ is the title of the talk I’ll be giving at the workshop on William E. Connolly’s A World of Becoming. I begin by showing how the title’s ambiguity hinges on the word ‘of’: there is so much … Continue reading →

Macau developments

Posted on May 16, 2011 by stuartelden

A small but interested audience today for the talk on fossils – final day of exams, so not good timing. In the questions I said a bit more about the thinking behind the book project. It’s also been good to have another … Continue reading →

Momentarily: Learning from Mega-Events

Posted on April 25, 2011 by stuartelden

Free e-book – Momentarily: Learning From Mega Events, available here. Strategic, simplified, spotless, homogenizing representations require a pluralistic response which engages the visual tactically.
