Flint Magazine Issue 1+2
Flint is an unbound multimedia magazine in a box. Modeled after Aspen Magazine, the highly influential art journal “in a box” from late 60s, Flint Magazine examines contemporary art practice and criticism. However Flint Magazine offers a poetic antonym of sorts – where Aspen is a tree, Flint is a rock.

Hearing Modernity
Hearing Modernity

Here we present a collection of critical media responses to the Hearing Modernity lectures and discussions of the 2013-14 Sawyer Seminar. Over the course of the year, graduate students met in a parallel seminar with Dr. Alexander Rehding to discuss the core texts of the seminar presenters and produce experimental critical media responses to the events of the Sawyer Seminar.  Graduate students met with presenters and then developed a series of critical media projects to synthesize, contest, respond to, or re-envision the themes of the discussion.

Unspeakable Things
Unspeakable Things
“Unspeakable Things” (สิ่งที่แตะต้องไม่ได้) is a series of seven pieces which explore Thai politics and its histories through everyday objects—both Thai and foreign analysts are limited in what we can say directly, so we turn to objects for the same reason as so many Thai dissidents have lately done. We began this project as the one-year anniversary of the April-May 2010 violent crackdown by Thai state forces on red shirt protestors passed, and are publishing as the second anniversary of the crackdown dawns with accountability still elusive.

Sensing the Unseen
Sensing the Unseen
How should scholars in the social sciences, humanities, and arts comprehend, apprehend, and represent the domain of the unseen? The unheard? The untouched? The untasted? The unscented? The unknown? The unknowable? These questions — charting a kind of inside-out, afterimaged anthropology of the senses — organized an academic year of conversation in MIT Anthropology.
