The insides and outsides of parliamentary politics
This introduction to a special section on parliaments identifies a tendency in STS to look for politics either inside or outside mainstream democratic institutions. Summarizing the insights of the contributions to the special section, the introduction argues that - in light of current challenges to dominant modes of doing politics across the globe - the task for STS scholars is neither to renew faith in what is happening in various legislatures, …
Un/common grounds
In this paper, we explore possibilities for reconceptualizing cosmopolitics by focusing on sites and situations where the problem of un/commonality plays a central role. Stemming from ethnographic research carried out as part of an ongoing collaboration on ‘Landscapes of Democracy’, we outline a study of democratic politics that extends beyond the politics of a single world and attends to landscapes of political practice that embed, and sometimes…
Búskomor politics
How to engage with the recent crisis of liberal democracy in a politically productive manner? Using the example of Hungary, the first part of this article contrasts two empirical strategies. The first takes inspiration from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and explores the conditions of critique within the architecture and infrastructure of liberal democracy. The second empirical strategy turns to a novel by László Krasznahorkai and a film by…

Present-day academic work is mostly done in English.What happens, or so the contributions to this monograph ask, when we open a few windows, let in some air, and invite elements drawn from other linguistic traditions into our texts?Doing so does not simply mean welcoming other words.Along with this it also changes the conditions, the terms, that stipulate what is, and what is not, good -proper, interesting, international, academic -writing.To exe…
Asymmetries and Climate Futures
This paper focuses on a water management project in the remote Aboriginal community of Milingimbi, Northern Australia. Drawing on materials and experiences from two distinct stages of this project, we revisit a policy report and engage in ethnographic storytelling in order to highlight a series of sensing practices associated with water management. In the former, a working symmetry between Yolngu and Western water knowledges is actively sought th…

Needling Problems
Pictures at an Exhibition – and Beyond. Review of the ‘Reset Modernity!’ exhibition, 16.04.2016 – 21.08.2016, ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany
It is the third exhibition that Latour has co-curated in this space, (or perhaps being mindful of Laboratory Life (Latour & Woolgar 1986), we should say 'this place'). The fi rst two were Iconoclash (2002) and Making Things Public (2005), both curated with Peter Weibel. This exhibition is also the fourth product of the 'An Inquiry into Modes of Existence' (AIME) project: in 2012 we saw the publication of the AIME book and the website, 2 then in 2…
The Parliament as a High-Political Programme
How do words count
It would be possible to start this review by situating Economy of Words in wider sets of books. It would be possible to say, for instance, that it is the third part of Douglas Holmes’s ethnographic
Xerox Project
This article shows how various meanings of a new communication technology are born or get transformed when placed in a different political context via a case study of a program organized by the Soros Foundation in 1984 to promote democratic values (the idea of an “open society”) in Hungary. This program, called the Xerox project, helped hundreds of public institutions acquire photocopy machines. Under the suppressive Hungarian regime of the 1980s…
Internet and elections
The socio-political transformation induced in Central and Eastern Europe by the political turmoil of 1989–1990 happened in concordance with a communications revolution, characterized by the ubiquity of new media in many realms of life. Consequently, the use of information and communication technologies in political campaigns forced both institutions and citizens to rethink their roles and strategies within the political system. Our analysis of th…
