- The Endon Feb 5, 2016This is just a brief note to say that I'm no longer writing new posts here, though I'm planning to leaving the blog up for the foreseeable future. I still blog occasionally over at An und für sich, and you can read all of my academic publicatio...

- Art, pyschoanalysis and humourMore Milbank eventually, I promise! But in the meantime, Becky Hunter and I are doing an online residency for the Philadelphia arts blog concept plus object. We're talking about art, psychoanalysis and humour, and why some of the people who first saw...

- A book review wot I wroteAges ago, I wrote a review of Matthew Sharpe and Geoff Boucher's book 'Žižek and Politics: A Critical Introduction'. The review has finally been published in Political Theology, and you can read it here.
