Hipster Elegies

from Reality and Its Alternatives, Volume 21, Number 2

The death and life of the great American hipster offers an alternative history of culture over the last quarter century.

The Inner Life of a Sinking Ship

from The Evening of Life, Volume 20, Number 3

I am concerned with the quality of our choices as choices, and I am interested in excavating from our behaviors and artifacts an archaeology of our emotional life in the hope that naming these feelings can help us begin to reclaim our choices as our own.

from The Human and the Digital, Volume 20, Number 1

The principal experience of the art I encountered, I found, was not the art itself, but the uncertainty and complexity of my own subjective response.
