A radical act of cinematic restraint: How to understand the ending of ‘A House of Dynamite’ Why the most devastating moment in A House of Dynamite is the one we never see.

"Its final silence is not a full stop, but an ellipsis - a space of suspended meaning where the audience must imagine the unimaginable."

The latest volume of the Journal of Imaginary Research features a piece titled "Lights, camera, apocalypse: Why the world ends in NYC", where I consider the disproportionate frequency of apocalypse set in New York compared to other global cities. Please take a look and share widely!

On my way to Brisbane to visit The University of Queensland’s Centre for Visual Politics and present a chapter of my PhD, “Fragmented Faces: Representing Nuclear Weapons and War”.

Grateful to the @ninedtp.bsky.social for supporting this opportunity.

Thanks, Nick!

It was not a "you write A, I write B, then we will combine A+B" collaboration. Instead, we wrote together, live, and back-and-forth. Her words became mine and mine hers. I am so very grateful for such an insightful and inspiring first-time co-authoring experience. ✨

This paper is the collaborative brain-child of myself and my Canadian counter-part, Rebekah Pullen, following discussions in San Francisco, Birmingham, and *many* online Zoom calls.
