Between Sympathy and Detachment: Archives, libraries, television and television studies
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2011/12/archives-libraries-television-and.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Thursday, 22 December 2011. Archives, libraries, television and television studies. So I was sorting through and shelving those lovely old objects too. That have found their way into my office, at the same time that I simply enjoyed the weight of the objects, and holding these things that had been in the world longer than me in my hands, I absorbed material and made connections that I do not think I would have if I had been accessing Screen. S digital holdings would uncov...

The HBO ‘miniseries’ The Corner. 2000) is now predominantly viewed and marketed as a warm-up or sketch for The Wire. 8217;), but he returns the greeting before it has even finished in a tone that ends the conversation, and moves past the frame without breaking his stride. Thus do we see figures variously frustrate the curiosity of the camera by doing nothing, turning around, and ploughing onwards.

Between Sympathy and Detachment: November 2009
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Sunday, 22 November 2009. Three pieces that have caught my eye lately. I'm still gearing up and gathering sources before I write a blog about some things that are currently going on in higher education, but this week two people independently drew my attention to this quite long but exceedingly eloquent article. Collini asks these questions and many more in an impassioned and engaging fashion. 2 Mobile phones in Iraq. A fascinating short article. About Alan McKee, a profes...

Between Sympathy and Detachment: April 2010
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Thursday, 29 April 2010. Stories and the internet. Mobile phone technology has affected dramaturgy. It is now less likely that someone who finds themself sharing their house with a killer will not be able to get to the phone. Surely they can just reach into their pocket? I used my mobile phone at work today to text my good friend James MacDowell. To pose an open, film-related question, as I often do. 'Can you think of instances where characters in fictions use interne...

Between Sympathy and Detachment: The Weight of the Past
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2010/12/weight-of-past.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Sunday, 5 December 2010. The Weight of the Past. This is a companion blog to my previous entry, which used 4'33". To think about what happens when the medium used to (re)produce music shifts. The current entry thinks about photography, with the help of a book and a television programme.). Nostalgia touches photographs in many ways. In her beautiful book On Photography. Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots an...

Between Sympathy and Detachment: Four minutes thirty three seconds of silence
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2010/12/four-minutes-thirty-three-seconds-of.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Saturday, 4 December 2010. Four minutes thirty three seconds of silence. I was hoping to have a blog about Jay-Z ready on the occasion of his forty-first birthday, but, having made very little progress with Decoded. On Desert Island Discs. One track he would, if push came to shove, take with him, stating that it would be the one that 'always renewed itself'. I don't know if he's right about that, but it is certainly the case that it is the track that is most dependent...

Between Sympathy and Detachment: Holiday reading: The Road
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2010/08/holiday-reading.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Tuesday, 10 August 2010. Holiday reading: The Road. This blog contains spoilers. Most of last week I was camping in the Lake District, and I managed to read a novel that I've been wanting to get around to for a long time. Should I be spending time learning how to grow my own food? Fashion spectacles for if my eyesight continues to deteriorate? For this reason, and because I was so gripped by No Country for Old Men. I felt primed for The Road. When he suggests that. Far be...

Between Sympathy and Detachment: May 2010
http://betweensympathyanddetachment.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Between Sympathy and Detachment. Wednesday, 26 May 2010. Having a conversation with another person about the appeal of Big Brother. Or how - or why. My 'nothing-is-entirely-new' inner voice demands), and needs to be participated in to be understood. I deactivated my Facebook account some time ago, so it was with some trepidation that I decided to enter the world of Twitter, posing as it does, or so it seems to me, some similar drawbacks and dangers. The person, but something happening 'out there' (where?

Defend UCL Modern Languages: The palaeographer and the managers: a tale of modern times
http://defenduclml.blogspot.com/2010/03/palaeographer-and-managers-tale-of.html
Tuesday, 2 March 2010. The palaeographer and the managers: a tale of modern times. Iain Pears tells the story of KCL (from his blog. Proposals for draconian cuts of academic staff at King’s College London – including the dismissal of David Ganz, Britain’s last professor of Palaeography - have justly aroused condemnation from the world of academia and beyond, not only for their savagery, but for the way they are being implemented. The powers that be there seem to taking their cues from a chapter on bullyi...
