Juice and the politics of anxiety - Overland (2026)
Juice and the politics of anxiety - Overland (2026)
Recently longlisted for the 2026 Climate Fiction Prize, Tim Winton’s latest novel, Juice is not — as Winton himself and critics have described it — hopeful and a “creative projection of ‘wondering…’’”. Rather, it is primarily a representation of current middle-class climate anxiety that excises imperialism and racism from the climate crisis, and where women are killed, sexually assaulted, and narratively silent.

Etc. - Griffith Review 81 (2023)
From the ecstasy of the digital to the monied spectacle that is sport, the gamification of everyday life to the flourishing hierarchy of influencers, Griffith Review 81: The Leisure Principle sets out to scrutinise the terms and conditions of this contemporary compact and consider how we came to cede so much just to amuse ourselves to death.

Avatar, the Chthulucene and the problem of kinship - Overland (2023)
It is perhaps no surprise that James Cameron’s Avatar films—respectively the first and third highest grossing film of all time—fail to offer an imagination which exceeds the banal territories of capitalism. But, through their lip-service and surface-level ‘critique’ of it, the films show us precisely the way contemporary capitalism operates.

Firebringer - Cordite 108 (2023)
The process of decay is at the same time a process of crystallisation… Arendt I’m reading about the man under the ash whose brain was made black glass by Vesuvius. Not from his hot stinking breath …
We are all posthuman - Overland (2022)
We are all posthuman - Overland (2022)
Citizen Sleeper follows Deleuze and Guattari’s thought, whereby to resist one must move toward the plane of immanence and the multiplicity of capacities it offers. If we are all sleepers, then we must learn how to make new collectives, multiplicities and fleshly and virtual becomings. As my favourite ‘ending’ of the game tells us, we must turn away from identity, representation and ideology and ‘grow strange’ against the boundaries of capitalism.
