        #ItIsInOurHouseNow A tangential comment in the panel on 'magic' got me thinking about the parallels between Twin Peaks and Nolan's THE PRESTIGE: doppelgangers, conjurer-like figures, electricity as analogous to magic, Bowie as a magical figure.

    #ItIsInOurHouseNow A fascinating ecocritical comparison of Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return's respective title sequences from @DrMarkYates. Note the lack of birds and lack of harmonious images in The Return's title sequence.

      #ItIsInOurHouseNow Terrific and overwhelming presentation by Michael Waugh on the multivalent and overstimulating significations in The Return and how they encourage obsessive fan participation. Everything both signifies and refuses connection to other elements.

        #ItIsInOurHouseNow Gesturing towards how networks encourage obsessive fan discourse and extreme consumption of puzzlebox shows in order to market themselves. The Return also encourages this apophenia in a conspiracy-esque QAnon-style way.

          #ItIsInOurHouseNow Another terrific presentation from Matthew C. Halteman on The Roadhouse scenes as therapeutic mindful alienation to teach us to embrace uncertainty. Didn't shy away from the many valid racial criticisms of Twin Peaks and The Return.

            #ItIsInOurHouseNow The standard of PowerPoint aesthetics at this conference has been very high. Returning to my presentation for tomorrow to refine it as much as I can!

              #ItIsInOurHouseNow Returning to the Twin Peaks: The Return conference this afternoon. I'm going to be speaking in the 1500 BST panel on intertextualities with a paper on the association of time and the nuclear in The Return.

                  #ItIsInOurHouseNow In the Q&A at the last panel, we discussed the Anglo-French nature of this conference and Lynch's work. Reminded me of sitting with my wife in Paris at the café of the Monica Bellucci dream (next door to Lynch's Paris studio).

                    #ItIsInOurHouseNow Stepping away from the conference now as my head is full to bursting with Twin Peaks insights. Huge thanks to @KinoTanz, @franck_boulegue, and @Lynchland_ for putting together such a terrific conference with such insightful research! Merci beaucoup!
