CALL ME MAGGIE

The new addiction to an “old” medium.


What we watch is changing how we watch. And how we watch now across many forms of media and via many kinds of recording and/or through streaming is changing how creative types are creating for us.

But the name for all this programming–television–is a place holder for how we access the nodes of creativity and narrative.  that is why I call it an “old” medium. I have not watched a television in my house in over three years. All online.

The only time I watch a real TV is when I visit my mom in Abilene. And that is only because she does not have internet.

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
