Affective labour at work
Rapid successions of technological inventions have threatened to upend existing structures of work, prompting a need to rethink labour geography in the twenty-first century. In particular, the pressures that automation brings to workers raise some interesting questions about how feelings toward work are evolving, and how active appropriation and dispensation of personal affects may be needed for workers, especially blue-collar workers long caught…
Infrastructure's Expenditures
Urban research has long maintained that an unwavering link exists between urbanization and infrastructures, with the latter serving as structuring devices that give material and discursive shape to a city's socio-ecological composition. But, while infrastructures' mediative power and consequent ecological effects are well established, present scholarship tends to associate them with only a specific set of metabolisms-namely, those tied to urban (…
Catering for flight
This article employs in-flight catering as an inroad for rethinking aeromobility-and other mobilities-as both a vehicle and a product of logistics. It posits that the production of airline food, or in-flight catering, is representative of how aeromobility as a whole is realised through particular technocratic processes of fragmentation and coordination. Drawing on existing literatures, international news reports, company publications and particip…
Aviation and Climate Change
This article seeks to re-understand climate change in terms of its constitutive state practices. Existing analyses tend to frame climate change as a security discourse, or as a manner of green governmentality normalising the uneven relations between the Global North and South, but seldom is the practical process realising climate change’s logics delineated. Using aviation as an example, this article traces how climate change, as discourse, contin…
Sky watching
Scholars have written extensively about vertical surveillance as an extension of aeriality. They have interrogated the aerial platform as a synoptic means to behold, control and wage war from above, and as a locus through which air power can be challenged from below. While this perspective highlights the complex reciprocities linking the sky and the earth, its focus remains fixated on aeriality's (in)capacities to render terrestrial life explicit…
Drawing lines in the sky
This paper takes as its starting point the idea that airspace is not a singular, finished interface for aeromobile activities to take place in. Striated by lines that connect some points rather than others, it is a contested network of vectors that sometimes require additional human inputs for traffic to flow in desired ways. Assuming the view of a globalising city-state in Asia, this paper refers to two sets of empirical evidence to build its ca…

Flying through Ash Clouds
Scholars have recently been concerned with how the aviation industry is assembled through a series of tightly coupled processes and relations that render it fragile and prone to disruptions. While not disagreeing with this view, this paper explores some alternative ways aviation can be reunderstood as something more emergent and adaptable. Two ash cloud events, in Singapore and Australasia, are elucidated to show how breakdowns in air travel seld…
Chinese Migration to Singapore
Changing economic realities in the last decade have seen the People's Republic of China (PRC) emerging as a major source of ‘new’ migrants in the world. In the context of Southeast Asia as ‘destination,’ inflows from the PRC take on another level of significance given the historical antecedents. In this article, we take Singapore, a Southeast Asian global city-state, as a case study of how Chinese migration histories and circumstances have evolve…

Wasting Time? The Differentiation of Travel Time in Urban Transport
Recent years have seen increasing academic interest in transport and the concept of travel time. In particular, scholars have tried to open up travel time to alternative modes of understanding, taking it beyond its usual productivist associations with waste and useless idleness. The author, however, seeks to understand travel time in a different way. Rather than filling it up with activities, it is argued that travel time must first be recognized…
