Slated for a session at the Association of American Geographers‘ 2007 Annual meeting in San Francisco this coming April 17-21:

Beyond Apollo and Adorno: Dionysus and Walter Benjamin on Google Earth

Any talk that manages to mention my philosophical hero Friedrich Nietzsche and Ogle Earth in the same abstract gets a mention on this blog. That’s a new rule. (I do apologize if the Dionysian title of this blog belies its Apollinian tilt — there are very few pointers to naked sunbathers here, alas.)

Now, if anybody manages to mention my other philosophical hero Baruch Spinoza and Ogle Earth in the same abstract, I don’t know what I’d do. (Thanks Brian Timoney!)
