This coming week, August 29 to September 2, the website In Media Res will be having a Theme Week devoted to my book Post-Cinematic Affect.
The week is co-curated by Michael O’Rourke and Karin Sellberg and features a response from Steven Shaviro so we would really appreciate it if as many people as possible would join in with the discussions on each day next week. To participate you just need to take a moment to register at In Media Res:

Just read the first post by Elena del Rio. Excellent stuff. I wanted to post a response there but was unable to log in, so I posted it to my own blog for the time being: http://medieninitiative.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/metabolic-images-and-post-cinematic-affect/ Thought it might be of interest to readers here.
