My second essay within the special Mediapolis roundtable on ‘small-gauge’ scholarship, which has been running over the past few weeks, has now been published. It’s been a really interesting exchange which tries to confront and tease out the emergent notion of small-gauge scholarship, a term contained in the founding mission statement of the journal. If … Continue Reading

New Mediapolis essay: ‘Small-gauge as environmental and ordinary’
Over at the Mediapolis journal, I have published a short essay as part of a roundtable on the emergent notion of ‘small-gauge’ scholarship. The notion of small-gauge was alluded to in the founding mission statement of this new and experimental journal, and has since generated some substantial interest and debates. This roundtable tries to tackle … Continue Reading
The media-urban nexus: histories, stakes, possibilities (text of keynote paper)
Below is the text of a keynote paper given on Sunday 29 May 2016 for the ‘Mediating cityscapes’ symposium, held as part of the Artists’ Film Biennial at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. It was an informal paper, in which I mainly was asked to open out some issues for the symposium. So I deliberately … Continue Reading
Announcing Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture
It’s with great pleasure that I can announce the publication of the first issue of Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture. I’m fortunate enough to be on the Editorial Board of this new journal and – although my involvement in this first issue was very minor indeed – I look forward to helping bring … Continue Reading
Media practices and urban politics: a conversation about slow theory

In conjunction with the podcast being published, the … Continue Reading

This is a symposium that’s been long in the making, traceable … Continue Reading
New article really, really published: The architectures of media power
Earlier last year I made mention of an article slowly making its way to publication. I was promised, in language seeming to implicitly recognize the general malaise of the approaching REF (thankfully behind us all in the UK … until 2020 which is already being talking about), that it would be out in the final … Continue Reading
Call for chapter proposals: Conditions of Mediation
In the wake of what we thought was a very productive Conditions of Mediation ICA preconference in June 2013, Tim Markham and I are now preparing a proposal for an edited book under the same title. The proposed format of the book is to have a substantive introduction, two ‘dialogues’ involving Graham Harman, Lisa Parks, … Continue Reading
New paper published on ‘Circulating cities of difference’
In what must be surely the fastest turnaround from final manuscript submission to publication I will ever experience, a paper of mine has just been published in JOMEC Journal. Originally a book chapter in a unpublished edited book, this paper has now been significantly revised before as well as after peer review, just in time … Continue Reading
New article published: The architectures of media power
Another paper of mine slowly grinding its way to publication – titled ‘The architectures of media power: editing, the newsroom and urban public space’ – is now available in proper typeset form (though still not with proper pagination) in the OnlineFirst section of the journal Space and Culture. I am told that it will appear … Continue Reading
