Lessons Learned from the Colorado Project to Comprehensively Combat Human Trafficking
Countering human trafficking at a statewide level requires a combination of knowledge from lived experience, inter-sector collaborations, and evidence-based tools to measure progress. Since 2010, the nonprofit Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT) has collected and analyzed the data on how partners and organizations across the state work toward ending human trafficking. LCHT uses Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) to measure an…
The Lab as Cultural Technique and Medium
What do you associate with the word laboratory or lab? The various images, imprinted on the minds of many Western readers of fiction—think Mary Shelley and Frankenstein (1818)—or fans of the (mad) scientist depicted over the history of film, oscillating somewhere between genius, God, and gangster, have left a certain taste of unease or discontent, to reference a Freudian title. Didn't COVID-19 arise from a lab, so the controversy goes? But then, …
Vilém Flusser's What If? On Designing Radical Futures
While Vilém Flusser's writings on (media) philosophy and communication have found a wide readership across the globe, another 'Flusser' has been present all along, interwoven perhaps, namely that of the 'obsessive futurologist'. Flusser, the futurologist, does not only imagine or predict media-technological universes unfolding with, among, and for us, but he, in his insistence that 'communication is anthropology', also imagines scenarios of possi…
The Colorado Project to Comprehensively Combat Human Trafficking
Community-based participatory action research (CBPR) is an inclusive methodology well suited to researching, mitigating, and ending human trafficking. CBPR principles, including recognition of power dynamics across communities, allowing practitioners, stakeholders, and survivors to participate in the research design and analysis, and establishing norms of reciprocity and ongoing engagement, can enhance the quality of research produced to end huma…

Google, the Medium, and Hermeneutic Principles
Google’s role in curating the Internet, is, conceptually, a simple one. It offers speed and knowledge infrastructures of unfathomable size. It is a medium, a filter, through which you, the inquirer, meets information or data provided by other users. What has been more difficult to understand and grapple with, over the twenty-one years since Google Search has existed as an information consolidator, is a) its role as a multimodal digital medium for…
German Dis/Continuities
The twentieth-century history of few countries has been so profoundly marked by breaks, discontinuities, and ruptures as has Germany's--the radical breaks between the Wilhelmine empire, the Weimar Republic, and the National Socialist period; the end of history in 1945 and the dual reconstruction from Year Zero, followed by the reunification of post-1989 German. This special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly focuses on the many dimensions of these…
Somehow a Past
Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) is best known as an American modernist and pioneering artist of the early twentieth century. But he was also a prolific writer who published dozens of essays and reviews and several volumes of poetry and prose. The autobiographical account of his life in the manuscript collection of Yale's Beinecke Library has often been consulted by scholars and curators writing about Hartley. It is the most revealing document he left…
