Abstract:This essay reads the testimonies of four Fukushima women interviewed by journalist Iwakami Yasumi in the summer and fall of 2011. At the time, mandatory evacuations had emptied the zones closest to the triple meltdowns, but people in surrounding areas were left to decide for themselves: should they stay at their ancestral homes, or flee to protect their bodies? These four women are inspiring as leaders and as activists because of their ability to think beyond the crippling dichotomy and become worthy of Fukushima as an "event" in the sense explored by Deleuze in The Logic of Sense (1969).

Abstract:Through the comparative analysis of Double Indemnity (1944), Body Heat (1981), and The Usual Suspects (1995), this paper argues that what Michel Foucault called the neoliberal entrepreneur of the self has its prototype in the subject constructed by the classical discourse of film noir. While in the genre's early form the individual's attempt at existential self-valorization remains death driven, incommensurable with the ideological values of classical liberalism, neonoir reframes its isolated protagonist's unique mode of being as a reservoir of human capital beyond the limits of shared social norms.

Abstract:The Internet of Things, as the object-oriented reconstruction of the traditional internet, is characterized by its smart objects freely inter-operating without being necessarily under human control. Re-building the internet's information economy from the data captured by and communicated through these autonomous objects, the IoT operationalizes a sort of flat ontology, which recent realist philosophers suggest as a means to speculate about the world-making activities of nonhumans not necessarily correlated to human subjects. This paper examines the coincidence of recent interest in these nonhuman world-making processes drawn by two traditionally distinctive but now converging fields: computer engineering and philosophical ontology.

Abstract:"Indefinite urbanism" is the aerial drawn into perceptibility through noise, glass resonating with aircraft noise and infrastructural edge spaces that remain as traces of a history of now inaudible sound. As the age of commercial air travel dawned in Southern California, those living around Los Angeles International Airport turned toward the sky as the roar of jet planes disrupted an otherwise pacific coastal climate. Attending to the (im)materiality of noise, I trace atmospheric encounters across the resonance of walls and the shifting sand of coastal dunes now home to an endangered species of butterfly.
