Discursive institutions of austerity and social infrastructures of care
Public Involvement Report
Older LGBTQ+ adults face persistent inequalities in health and social care, often shaped by historical trauma and systemic exclusion, raising critical questions about how ageing can be supported equitably. This public involvement project explored the narratives and expectations of older LGBTQ+ individuals regarding ageing, health, and social care. Public involvement events were organised and facilitated by an interdisciplinary group of academics …
Austerity's afterlives? The case of community asset transfer in the UK
In the UK, community infrastructure and the care that it provides has been at the sharp end of swingeing government cuts brought about through austere economics and politics. One local manifestation, and legacy, of austerity is the rise in Community Asset Transfer (CAT), a practice whereby local authorities transfer the ownership of public assets to community groups. CAT may predominantly be understood through the lexicon of austerity localism wh…
The two kings of modernity
La suggestion de Georg Simmel selon laquelle il existe à chaque époque une « notion royale », un « roi conceptuel » secret, pose un problème important dans l’épistémologie sociale contemporaine : la question de savoir comment concevoir la « métaphysique du social ». Elle suggère qu’il existe dans chaque weltanschaaung un champ d’adhésion, une force de gravitation conceptuelle capable de lier les fragments de l’être ensemble dans la signification …

Learning from La Vega Central
This chapter focuses on the pressures of gentrification which threaten La Vega Central, a market privately owned by its stallholders in Santiago de Chile. It argues that the current accessibility of the market is being challenged through processes of urban renewal and the eradication of the affordable landscape surrounding the market. In the case of La Vega, the public condition of the market has evolved over time. More recently there has been a …
Light and Illumination
In contemporary philosophical and theoretical debates, Paul Virilio is relegated to a minor figure, often to a kind of “lesser Baudrillard” or a “diminutive Foucault.” This article contests this view and repositions Virilio as a leading intellectual of the so-called theological turn. More specifically, in an “esoteric reading” of his work, read here through the optics of late medieval Neoplatonism, the article claims that the key to understanding…

To what extent can private urban renewal enterprises foster a growth in cultural resources and collective patrimony? Two cases in Santiago
Attention and Automaticity
At Modernity's Limit
The Ontological Consequences of Copernicus
This article argues that contemporary space exploration, in producing visual representations of the planetary Earth for terrestrial consumption, has engendered a shift in the way the Earth - as terra firma - is both experienced and conceived. The article goes on to suggest that this shift is a key, but still largely tacit presupposition, underlying contemporary discourses on globalization and cultural cosmopolitanization. However, a close reading…
The Logic of Possible Worlds
Crossing Nietzsche
Thinking and the Art of Furniture
This article argues that furniture has been a source of ontological curiosity and an object of epistemological significance for some of the most important and formative modern intellectual traditions. Drawing on J. J. Gibson’s theory of affordances, the article shows how furniture has afforded a variety of intellectual meanings and can be seen as something of a worldly context giving shape and sense to what many modern intellectuals have understo…
