Miles Taylor

Bio/CV: 

Miles Taylor received his B.A. in English and Modern Culture and Media (MCM) from Brown University. His English degree was focused on creative non-fiction writing. Afterwards, he attended Concordia University in Montreal, where he received a M.A. in Film and Media. His textual focus is on post-1970 Hollywood, New German Cinema, New Journalism, and to a lesser extent, contemporary fiction. Theoretically, he is trained in narratology, theories of the Frankfurt School, and semiotically grounded psychoanalytic film theory. He is currently working on a project exploring the undeath of the bourgeois subject and its relationship to narrative structures in the long downturn. His writing has been published in In Bed With Maradona, Synoptique, Contemporaries@Post45, and No! Cinema. He is currently starting a literary journal with Ryan Lackey, a Ph.D. candidate in the Berkeley English department. It is focused on the everyday and taking the unserious seriously.
