It took me a couple of weeks to get everything done, even though I only had like 10 pages left to cover. Yeah, I ended up on all kinds of tangents. Anyway, this time I’ll be going through ‘How Do We Recognize Structuralism?’ by Gilles Deleuze. It can be found in ‘Desert Islands and Other […]

Back to Basics
To be productive, and to mix things up, like a mixologist, this I’ll take a look at a guide to how to do landscape research. Of course, it’s not the only guide there is, nor should it be taken as the guide to landscape research, but I like it because I find myself more or […]

Shaken and Stirred
I’m not exactly sure how I ended up reading this, ‘Learning to Translate the Linguistic Landscape’ by David Malinowski, which can be found in ‘Expanding the Linguistic Landscape: Linguistic Diversity, Multimodality and the Use of Space as a Semiotic Resource’. I guess I was rather browsing through it, initially searching for the word ‘landscape’ while […]

The Obstacle and The Way
I was going to write on something else, what I have to say about Gabriel Tarde and Guy Debord, and to get the recaps on the ADDA 2 conference done, sooner than later, but then I got some bad news. Well, not really bad news. I didn’t mind, really. Happens. It actually led me to […]
In the previous essay I presented a list of excuses as to why I’ve been unproductive but finally managed to be productive. Anyway, I didn’t get far. The only thing I attended to was noting how perceptive Marwyn Samuels is in his essay ‘The Biography of Landscape: Cause and Culpability’. The gist of that essay […]

Wheelies and shiny disco balls
So far I’ve managed to cover the first two days of X-SCAPES workshop in Bern, Switzerland. I realize that it’s a hardly optimal, if not simply counterproductive to write these recaps weeks, now over a month, after the conference. Then again, it’s not that I’m helpless, no, I can choose, but rather that if I’m […]

Walk the walk, talk the talk
I pointed out that I’d cover more conference presentations as previously I only covered a number of them that were on day one. So, this time I’ll covering day two. The selection is, once again, based on what I found particularly interesting and have something to say about. Starting with bits and pieces, Yael Guilat […]

With the Lights On
I’m not fond of doing more of the same, albeit, strictly speaking that’s actually impossible. Anyway, the point here is that I’ve addressed this before in an earlier essay. In that essay I pointed out that I can’t remember what it is that pushed me to this direction, what made me cross a threshold to […]

False, fake, deceptive
Fake this. Fake that. Fake, fake, fake, it’s all fake, even orgasms. If someone tells you otherwise, it’s fake news. As already stated a number of times, seven times to be specific (eight if the title counts), this essay is all about all things fake. The problem with this is, as we’ll come to see, […]

The sensible insensible
What is included in this essay was supposed to be in the previous one, but then I opted not to include it. It’s important and related to it, but it would have shifted the focus a bit too much away from the discourse itineraries and materialization of discourses. To summarize what I wrote in the […]
