Dr. Rebecca Coleman’s research crosses sociology, media and cultural studies, and feminist theory, and she has particular interests in temporality (presents and futures); bodies, affect and new materialisms; mediated culture and images; and inventive methodologies. Her current research explores everyday temporal experiences of digitally mediated culture and the significance of a present or ‘now’ temporality to these experiences. Coleman is currently working on a monograph that puts into dialogue Raymond Williams’ and more recent work on affect to develop an argument about ‘infra-structures of feeling’, digital mediation and ‘the temporal present’.

Daniël Everts is a Master of Arts in the field of film and television studies. He is currently enrolled in the Media, Art & Performance Studies research master’s program at Utrecht University, where he is writing his thesis about Instagram as a mnemotechnology, a term coined by French philosopher of technology Bernard Stiegler. In particular, he focuses on the way Instagram exteriorizes and stores memories in the form of videos and photographs and subsequently incorporates them into an endless flow that continuously extends in the future. Everts’ other interests lie in the critical examination of discriminatory practices and bias in Western society across interdisciplinary boundaries, as well as in the (less-critical) production of music and video.
