Timothy Morton
Timothy Bloxam Morton (born 19 June 1968), is Professor and Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.rice.edu/morton.aspx )〕 A member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, Morton's work explores the intersection of object-oriented thought and ecological studies. He adopted the computer science term 'hyper objects' ( denoting n-dimensional non-local entities, a term in use since 1967) in 2010, to explain objects so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend localization, such as climate change and styrofoam.
Morton has also written extensively about the literature of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley, Romanticism, diet studies, and ecotheory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.ucdavis.edu/people/directory/tbmorton )〕
==Personal==
Morton received a B.A and D.Phil in English from Magdalen College, Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.ucdavis.edu/people/directory/tbmorton )〕 His doctoral dissertation, "Re-Imagining the Body: Shelley and the Languages of Diet," studied the representation of diet, temperance, and consumption in the works of Percy Bysshe Shelley. According to Morton, the decision to study English literature, as opposed to more academically fashionable classics, stemmed from a desire to engage with modes of thought evolving internationally "including all kinds of continental philosophy that just wasn't happening much in England at the time, what with the war against 'theory' and all."
Before obtaining a professorship at Rice University, in 2012, Morton previously taught at the University of California, Davis, New York University and the University of Colorado, Boulder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.ucdavis.edu/people/directory/tbmorton )〕
