@inquiline for the purposes of this response i'm looking a lot at Nye and Rosalind Williams' "Notes on the Underground", probably also bringing in Tsing's idea of conjuring in Friction? LaDuke and Cowen's paper on Wiindigo infrastructure also comes up.
@inquiline one of my exam questions is about animacies in infrastructure studies--which means I am going real hard on infrastructural vitalism rn, thank you for that framing!!
@stephen_cornford either is fine i guess? paypal probably faster
Re-upping this on all my platforms, because we cannot tone down our condemnation of this unprecedented slaughter of journalists.
The apathy & indifference in Israel's killing of Palestinian media professionals (130 since 7/10/23 per the IFJ), including among many prominent journalists, is a chilling indictment of our industry as a whole.
Incredibly disturbed by the silence of friends and colleagues & those who cited "objectivity" for it. It has truly been an eye-opening year for journalism.
