Position Reserved Restored

After around five years of neglect and suspension, Position Reserved is coming back online with a little more focus.

Book reviews will continue to be published elsewhere, either book-by-book on GoodReads or on one of two book review blogs covering fiction and non fiction. These latter generally take old reviews from some years back, collate them under subject matter and re-edit the original reviews to create a more considered overview.

You can catch up on immediate reaction to world events as the mood takes me at LinkedIn and Twitter. You can also see public domain material (including reviews of exhibitions, events and podcasts) on Facebook. Facebook also gives access to a range of specialised groups which I administer but only to people I know and who clearly have an interest in that specialised area. I have a presence on Academia.edu

Commercial and international affairs commentary will be centred on LinkedIn. Position Reserved will be reserved for general political commentary, philosophy, culture and occult and fortean matters. Film reviews used to be occasional on Facebook but I stopped these to protest unwarranted Facebook censorship. They may start to appear here instead. I spend a lot of time on cinematic matters but very little of this will emerge as text here or elsewhere.

Over the next few weeks I will be concentrating on transferring a few redrafted opinion pieces that were placed on an experimental blog that now looks surplus to requirements and on providing an overview of a research project undertaken on Facebook that looked at alternatives to the Tweedledum-Tweedledee choices we are given at British General Elections.  Once those commitments have been made, I will post when and as I feel like it.

Comments are welcome but you might do better to connect on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and GoodReads if you want to connect more directly.
