Making repair reparative
This paper analyzes contemporary scholarship on repair and the reparative in Geography and allied disciplines. We understand the term repair to refer to incremental and everyday forms through which cities, objects, and landscapes are held together through processes of fixing, mending, and maintaining. The related concept of the reparative, with links to the project of reparations, is more expansive, opening up possibilities for action that respon…
The Analog City
Urban scholarship consistently discusses improvisation and heterogeneity as central to urban life in the global South. In this article, I bring together scholarship on urban improvisation and the digital world of smart cities to understand the city as analog. In response to conceptions of the smart city as an uncontested space of technical expertise and efficiency, the analog city recognizes the city as being made and remade through analog labor:…
Repair Work as Care
If the Anthropocene is the Capitalocene, then one of its signature attributes in the drive for profits is the abstraction of life itself and of the human/nonhuman relations that sustain it, creating a wake of waste in its path. Repairing the fraying human and ecological systems that underwrite life entails ongoing care work that is frequently invisible or devalued, and whose burdens fall disproportionately on vulnerable populations. We detail thi…
Recuperating labour's environmental potential
In response to Carr's article, ‘Repair and care: Locating the work of climate crisis’, I explore how repair labour demonstrates the importance of skilled, hands-on labour for responding to times of breakdown and change. Like scholarship on apprenticeship and practical enskilment, repair work demonstrates how labour entails working with the material world and other workers, and hands-on engagement with complex and changing systems. Instead of appr…

Between Toxics and Gold
Environmental discourses on electronic waste have converged around two framings of e-waste as a significant global concern: as a polluting and hazardous waste product, and as an under-tapped source of value: an "urban mine." This paper argues that the discursive shift between these two framings is not based in material differences between either the electronics themselves or related labor processes; instead, the major determining factor in e-wast…
Nothing is useless in nature
This paper follows the return of electronic waste back into commodity circuits through widespread processes of reuse, repair and remanufacturing across Delhi, India. Tracing the movements of "waste" from the scrap shop back into secondary use industries, I situate e-waste in India as operating primarily within economies of reuse and repair, rather than waste and recycling. Instead of managing waste, India's broad reuse industries are production-b…
