“Either [hu]man[s] will be in the everyday or [t]he[y] will not be at all. [T]he[y] will live his everyday life by superseding the everyday life [t]he[y] live[s] today, or else [t]he[y] will no longer be. As long as everyday life has not radically changed, the world will be the same as ever...” --Lefebvre
I am a doctoral candidate in Media, Art & Text Program at Virginia Commonwealth University.
I write about everyday life, videogames, and speculative fiction.
I teach critical media studies and transmedial speculative fiction.
I study the intersections of videogames, software, non-mimetics, digitality, transnational popular culture, and textuality.
I am interested in the interactions between agents and objects that generate, manage, and propagate power on the level of the everyday.
I am also interested in 2000s popular culture, Weird Internet, organized crime dramas, the cultural logic of anime, American football fandom, shanzhai culture, and my cat, Daniel.
