This is a really beautiful picture of the late Jonathan Sterne. We should remember him like this. His voice will be missed in Media Studies, Sound Studies, Musicology and STS. #RIP

Jonathan Sterne has passed away. I can hardly believe this. His generosity and intellectual brilliance will be missed! mastodon.social/@[email protected]...

Who is [re]writing Manuel Castells' "The Power of Identity" for the messy current situation that we're in? And yes, his books on the network society really deserve a [re]reading. This second one most specifically. #booksky #sociology #networksociety #STS

It's a mad world out there. Yet, I am still looking forward to be part of #4s2025 in Seattle this September! Science and Technology Studies are needed more than ever now, and so is the @4sweb.bsky.social community.

Just saw Thelma & Louise for the first time since its German theatrical screening in 1991 in Weimar's now lost "Theater des Friedens". While it is a feminist classic now, it has not aged as well as Ridley Scott's one and only Blade Runner. But Susan Sarandon is sooo brilliant in this one!

STS now really goes (classical) media theory! Doing a whole conference on signal and noise is quite remarkable … 👉 https://aussts.org/aussts-2025-cfp/ I‘d love to go there myself but Melbourne isn‘t exactly around the corner.
