This is not a vault. It’s a living fossil record of ideas, cultural detritus, and half‑formed obsessions. The Postmodern Prometheus archives are less about nostalgia than archaeology: every essay, fragment, and sonic ghost filed here is part of an ongoing experiment in how culture remembers itself—and how we rewrite it.
This is where the threads converge: essays on the afterlife of world music and the ethics of the geomedia, deep dives into Burundi Beat and post‑Soviet rap, urban psychogeographies mapping panel housing and cultural memory, cinematic dissections of identity, myth, and space. These are the working notes of Postmodern Prometheus: cultural theory spliced with pop detritus, archival ghosts colliding with TikTok trends.
Read, wander, get lost. Follow the echoes and help us keep writing this map.
