His previous research investigates ontological issues concerning smart technologies that surpass human users in monitoring their bodies and everyday lives. His first monograph, Internetontologies-Things (2023), is about the hidden arrangement of things in the background that machines urge us to be paranoid of. This normalized paranoia leads us to accept the IoT as a new, smarter technique of self-governance. His current research theorizes multiplicities at the intersection of this speculative modeling of reality that underpins the sustainability of contemporary software capitalism and the current eco-philosophical imageries ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/160/image/coversmall Notes on Contributors: Volume 34, Number 2, January 2024 2025-09-04 text/html en-US Notes on Contributors: Volume 34, Number 2, January 2024 2025-09-04 2025 TWO Project MUSE® 7277 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 2025-09-04 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968573 <p></p> Is it not a shame to present in an intellectually attractive light a type of policeman, always a policeman, to bestow upon the world a police method?War has long lingered at the edges of crime fiction. Before founding the analytic detective story, Edgar Allan Poe published early work during the time he enlisted in the US Army and became a cadet at West Point. A century later, Dashiell Hammett closed Red Harvest (1929) with his Continental Operative calling in the National Guard. In subsequent decades, film noir plumbed the aftermath of two world wars, and the Cold War spy novel mutated into the military-driven conspiracy narratives of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon.1 Though such overlaps suggest that crime fiction ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/160/image/coversmall Conjunctures of Crime and War: Mapping Circuits of Neoliberal Armed Force in Kawamata Chiaki, Héctor Tobar, and William Gibson 2025-09-04 text/html en-US Conjunctures of Crime and War: Mapping Circuits of Neoliberal Armed Force in Kawamata Chiaki, Héctor Tobar, and William Gibson 2025-09-04 2025 TWO Project MUSE® 152917 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 2025-09-04 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968574 <p></p> On a set of banana-yellow furniture, wallpapered with Lichtenstein&#39;s feuding couples, a handsome gameshow host is congratulating a pair of newlyweds on winning a trip to Turkey.1 The beaming couple dance and twirl as the audience cheers; the host thanks the program&#39;s sponsors before commiserating with the losing couple. The television screen dims to black. A few seconds later, violin strings and heavy piano chords play as the screen brightens to a beige studio. On the back wall, scrawled in outsize cursive, are the words: Je n&#39;ai qu&#39;une langue, ce n&#39;est pas la mienne (&#x22;I have only one language and it is not my own&#x22;).

With a finger snap, Thanos, the mastermind behind several disasters Earth has endured, deletes half of all intelligent beings in the universe, including half of the superheroes Disney had introduced to the MCU. This apocalypse arrived earlier than many fans expected, as it depleted the superhuman resources its sequel, Avengers: Endgame (2019), was supposed to use to give a proper closure to Phase Three of the MCU. This cosmic disaster also affected Disney&#39;s long-term plan to introduce more superheroes from the Marvel Comics Universe in Phases Four, Five ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/160/image/coversmall Quantum Physics in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: New Capitalist Realism for the Anthropocene 2025-09-04 text/html en-US Quantum Physics in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: New Capitalist Realism for the Anthropocene 2025-09-04 2025 TWO Project MUSE® 129878 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 2025-09-04 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968576 <p></p> How does one begin to comprehend the scale of genocidal violence that is being unleashed on Palestine today? Israel&#39;s campaign of revenge against the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 has turned into a full-scale genocidal war on the people of Gaza, a war whose tactics include deliberate starvation, blocking of medical aid, and mass killings of children. It marks yet another turning point in a long history of violent occupation and dispossession. The blatant complicity of the West in its continued arming of Israel and the almost complete collapse of the post-war international order to stop genocide stand in stark contrast to the millions of people around the world who have marched in solidarity with the ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/160/image/coversmall Palestine Book Forum 2025-09-04 text/html en-US Palestine Book Forum 2025-09-04 2025 TWO Project MUSE® 92420 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 2025-09-04 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968577 <p></p> The 1970s and 80s were heady times for film studies. Retrospectively, we might even call them the field&#39;s heyday. That period saw the emergence (in some cases) and rising salience (in others) of such journals as La Nouvelle Critique, Cin&#xE9;thique, and the venerable Cahiers du Cin&#xE9;ma in France, and Screen in Britain. Meanwhile across the Atlantic, departments of film studies were cropping up across the American academy. As film studies spread in Europe and the US, it implicitly focused on cinema&#39;s capacity to diagnose the illusionary pleasures offered by hegemonic ideologies on the one hand and limn new thresholds of awareness and liberatory practice on the other. As Peter Brunette and David Wills note in their ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/160/image/coversmall Cinematic Fantoms to Come, Again: A review of Timothy Holland, The Traces of Jacques Derrida's Cinema 2025-09-04 text/html en-US Cinematic Fantoms to Come, Again: A review of Timothy Holland, The Traces of Jacques Derrida's Cinema 2025-09-04 2025 TWO Project MUSE® 21774 2026-05-19T00:00:00-05:00 2025-09-04 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/968578 <p></p> In his recent book, Entranced Earth: Art, Extractivism, and the End of Landscape, Jens Andermann follows a provocative question with a somber reflection: &#x22;Can art help us survive the end of the world? Absurd as the question sounds, it may be the most pressing one we in the humanities are facing today&#x22; (191). Described as &#x22;a distant cousin of the homonymous book published in Spanish&#x22; (22), Entranced Earth compiles an impressive and capacious collection of art and literature from Latin America: photography, regionalist fiction, testimonio, essays, travelogues, art (avant-garde, performance, bio- and ecoart), soundscapes, cinema, and poetry.
