Welcome! You've happened upon "Eyegiene," an electric, virtual, semiotic tumblr gallery archiving materials for Eyegiene: Permutations of Subjectivity in the Televisual Age of Sex and Race, a new book in development with the University of Texas Press. More on this project can be seen on the eyegiene blog. Also, sometimes appearing here, you can expect retro-flashback postings for Tex[t]-Mex, my first book, also with UT Press.
