Paul Atkinson lectures for the Communications and Writing programme at Monash University. His research is broadly informed by the work of the fin-de-siècle French philosopher Henri Bergson and his writings on movement and time. Published articles explore a range of topics including Bergson’s vitalism, comic books after 9/11, movement and recognition, time in superhero comics, affect theory and temporal aesthetics. He is currently working on a series of articles that explore the relationship between processual theories of time, aesthetics and narrative.
