#ɪɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ: Arrived here as part of the great Musk_Migration (from
HTTP://Twitter.com/YOUTOPOS) … Dan & Nandita: academics at
#Western_University, London (
#WesternU in
HTTP://Twitter.com/LondonOntarioCA).* Areas of interest?:
#media_̶studies,
#techno_̶politics,
#history_̶of_̶ideas,
#archæologies_̶of_̶knowledge,
#peripheral_̶theory (peripheral as in ‘on-the-margins’ &/or ‘shoved-aside’ — e.g.
#alchemical_philosophy and
#ancient_steganography: accursèd precursors to our current chemical and code-based paradigms. … Perhaps it would be better to say that the interests here are in peripheral/peripherally-informed
#theory_̶and_̶criticism:* ᴄʀɪᴛɪҩᴜᴇ, mes amis!), the work of
#Friedrich_Nietzsche and his rather weird (
#ᴀᴍᴏʀ_ꜰᴀᴛɪ, my friends!: that is, weird as in

#Georges_Bataille,
#Pierre_Klossowski,
#Maurice_Blanchot,
#Jean_Baudrillard,
#Gilles_Deleuze and
#Jacques_Derrida (to name only a few). Oh: and the Jacques_Derrida of alchemical_philosophy, otherwise-known-as the pseudonymous ‘
#Fulcanelli’ (
#Jean_̶Julien_Champagne via
#Pierre_Dujols_de_Valois). … Lovers of the odd, of oddities, and of cabinetless curiosities. Profs who are also Eternal Students and fans of the energetic ‘e’ in ‘education’ (
#ē_̶ducēre: that which conducts us ‘outward’, beyond what we presently know). **We have both given graduate-courses at Western-University’s
#Centre_for_the_Study_of_Theory_and_Criticism a.k.a.
#Theory_Centre (D teaches
#literary_and_media_theory in
#The_Faculty_of_Arts, N teaches
#political_theory_and_conceptual_history in
#The_Faculty_of_Social_Science). *
