"The driving force behind Greenaway’s exegesis of Bloch’s work is the much-needed task of rediscovering hope, not in the form of naive optimism, but in the struggle to find the seeds of utopia in everyday life."

Jonas Čeika, Author of How to Philosophize with a Hammer and Sickle

If you, your organization or institution needs someone to give a talk in the next six months or so, I would be very interested to do anything on horror film, utopianism or a combination of the two!

We Hear Only Ourselves draws on a wide range of thought, from the dialectics of the Frankfurt School to the writings of the Black Panthers, to offer a concept of utopia adequate for our present moment.
