Sadly back in New York after another successful trip to Critical Theory Workshop in Paris. Gabriel, Jennifer, David, and I had a fantastic workshop on Domenico Losurdo’s writings and talked a lot about future collaborations! Until next year!

New annual author/website/social media photo. This one a self-portrait in the ruins of the GDR youth summer camp outside of Templin, former East Germany: Pionierlager "Klim Woroschilow."

I have pivoted and started writing my first script in over a decade for this film. I will complete the remainder of the shoot this summer in Ireland and Germany.

Got my cheeky early copy of Enough Is Enough by @mattbernico.bsky.social and @deandettloff.bsky.social. Can’t wait to read!

Doing a birthday aesthetic-based double feature. Good movies to watch after turning 40 and contemplating what the point of all this is.

Just got a new course approved that I'll be teaching as an experimental course in Spring 2027. If there's enough student interest, I'll add it as a permanent topical course. Working on the syllabus now!

Over 30 years of the U.S. and its lapdog(s) choking Cuba from the rest of world in the UN and over 60 years of blockading the island with a trade embargo and then trying to make out like its failing on its own.

Get hyped for @dajveism.bsky.social and my article coming out soon. Just finished with revisions.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 02/02/2026

Because I'm an absolute mad lad, I'm writing/editing two films at once. In a way, my desert film is a foil to this one—another speculative ethnography—that I shot in Ireland in County Donegal last summer called EARTHSHINE.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 28/01/2026

Looking forward to being back with my @iskrabooks.bsky.social comrades on the other side of the pond this summer. Photo from last summer when we met up with former blanketman Pádraic Mac Coitir in Belfast.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 09/01/2026

I haven't produced a film since THE SUN SETS LIKE A SCAR in 2024, although I've been shooting. Today I started scriptwriting & reviewing my footage. My next film, ONLY IN COMPLETE SILENCE DO YOU HEAR THE DESERT, will be my first 2.4:1 anamorphic film. Here are sneak peeks.

It was a Gael García Bernal and Benicio del Toro year for me (but when isn't it?!). Also pretty much the regular slate of top directors (although didn't do many PTA rewatches this year, which is unusual).

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 18/12/2025

A little sneak peak at my recent translation of Bogdanov's book about science and the working class that should be coming out late next year from @iskrabooks.bsky.social Quite resonant with me personally and professionally!

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 18/12/2025

Deeply sadden to hear about the passing of Victor Grossman. I had the great pleasure of working closely with him as his Editor translating his book on American volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. We at @iskrabooks.bsky.social will be posthumously publishing his book for the first time in English.

Apologies to everyone following me on @letterboxd.social ...for the next few days, my diary is going to be lovingly spammed with Kiarostami!!!

Dutchess County locals, consider taking some classes with me at Dutchess Community College in the Spring! Syllabi are all available on my website (www.taylorgenovese.com/#teaching) And this is not just for the whippersnappers! New York has a program where senior citizens can audit tuition free!

Back during my archaeology days before I my Dark Turn™️ to sociocultural, I used to knap all the time. I still have my leather, antlers, stones, and a stash of cores somewhere around... I even made an atlatl and spears to throw them with too. This is probably the best point I made out of basalt.

Filled my @letterboxd.social milestones a few days ago. Pretty interesting spread.

Our inaugural conference for SPINE was absolutely amazing yesterday. Incredible conversations, multimodal & politically disciplined proposals for moving forward in our current times, and many networking connections being made. Join us: www.spine.ju.mp

Dug a visual essay project out of mothballs to start working on again that's a very different kind of photography than I've done in the past. I feel like I'm back working in archives!

I've been using the Hobonichi Techo as a diary since 2023 & I use the My 100 page to record my first-watch films & miniseries for the year. I always fill it up before I get to December (e.g. watched my 100th yesterday) but I like being able physically flip through past watches.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 22/08/2025

And, I am nearly done translating a companion to "Art and the Working Class" called "The Socialism of Science: The Scientific Tasks of the Proletariat" which has also never been translated to English. Maybe it'll come out next year??? We'll see! 👀

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 22/08/2025

Today is the birthday of my main man Aleksandr Bogdanov, born today in 1873! One of my proudest achievements is bringing "Art and the Working Class" into English for the first time. You can download it for free from @iskrabooks.bsky.social or get a low-cost pb! www.iskrabooks.org/art-and-the-...

I'm doing an independent study course in Radical Aesthetics in the Fall that I've made completely multimodal (we do readings, watch films, listen to music, watch plays, etc.). Here's a small selection. Full syllabus here: trgenovese.github.io/syllabi/PHI2...

Teaching an online summer session to fund some travel. I mean...I guess they're not wrong???

I've got the quad-screen AP stream going so it feels like I'm in the middle of a sportsbook.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 07/05/2025

I'm definitely going to need to see a @deandettloff.bsky.social article about the media's use of Gen Z slang while covering the conclave. "The world's first locked in, raw dogging Pope"

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 01/05/2025

On my usual bullshit...translating some more Bogdanov that hasn't been published in English before. This time...it's the *scientific* tasks for the proletariat! This'll pamphlet's translation will be my summer project.

I tend to get on a Che kick close to my birthday. This year, especially, as I'll be turning the same age as our beloved Ernesto when he was murdered by the CIA.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 07/04/2025

There are very real material reasons why insults, attempted guilt, etc. doesn't work on us Millennials. Black Monday? We've been through several of these things at this point.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 19/03/2025

Hey dipshit, you do realize you're doing exactly what you're complaining about here right? You've closed replies and quote posts, thereby allowing "only [your] voice" and making it so that "no one [can] answer back." Stay out the kitchen if you can't stand the heat, you hypocritical loser.

Taylor R. Genovese @taylorgenovese.com · 31/01/2025

Can’t believe it’s already been a year since you left this plane, Gaymon. Happy birthday today, and a prayer for rest on your death day tomorrow. Miss you G.
