Since the world is falling apart, and everyone’s talking about resilience, I had to write my own essay on it.

No tips, no uplifting stories.

🚨 Call for Papers 🚨
The Drift isn’t a destination—it’s movement. Slow. Messy. Unresolved.
We welcome work that wanders, leaks, resists conclusion.
If it drifts, we’re interested.
Submit at drift-journal.org or email us at editor@drift-journal.org

Call for Papers!

The Drift is not a place of arrival, but of movement, slow, erratic, persistent. It is a space for thought that slips, for language that leaks, for research that resists tidy conclusions. We welcome work that meanders, that ferments, that doesn’t quite fit elsewhere.

Back home.

I am back.

Last day to submit an abstract!

You still have time until Monday to join us at the "The Archaeology of Experience" session!

My retreat for the weekend.

We’re thrilled to continue the impressive legacy of the Neolithic Seminars with the 27th Neolithic Seminar!
This year’s theme, “Neolithic Ontologies”, delves into the radical alterity of Eurasian Neolithic societies.
Join us on November 7–8, 2025! Stay tuned for more details. #Neolithic

Can you add me too, please?

We’re looking for archaeological case studies exploring process of embodiment: how skilled bodies emerge with the landscape by engaging the practices and technologies of bodily becomings.

📢 Call for papers for the EAA in Belgrade starting on December 20th! It’s early, but we’d love for you to start considering joining the session John Chapman and I are organizing: ‘What Can Bodies Do? An Archaeology of Experience.’

language is a virus from outer space

LLMs vividly demonstrate that language is an autonomous structure, independent of its host; an autonomous structure into which people integrate; an autonomous structure that, in accordance with its own rules, plays with us.
