A Caring Confrontation
Entering a “re- era” in which cities use available resources again and again requires developing and testing new “re- strategies.” This article elaborates “re-ordering”: a redirecting of the flow of residual concrete pavement stones using time as a structuring element. In a two-year design research project, through a “bisociation” of design practices and urban/municipal practices in Rotterdam, different types of knowledge and skills confronted ea…
Assembling Researchers in Design and the Humanities in a Circular Ecology
This contribution aims at reframing the concept of circular economy (CE) through an experiment with, and reflection on, research-through-design practices. We depart from CE as an efficient process of tidying up or closing circles to open up a discussion of ways cities can productively engage with flows of residual materials as resources in a social-material context. Taking an ecological approach, we investigate interconnected flows of things, peo…
Media, Places, and Assemblies
This essay explores the complex entanglements of media, place, and (public) space. On reviewing the spatial turn in media studies and the media turn in cultural geography, the article discusses Anna McCarthy’s well-known “spatial” discussion of Dara Birnbaum’s installation Rio Videowall in downtown Atlanta. The latter serves as a test case to ground and criticize some of the insights within those recent paradigms. In the second part of the discus…
The Politics of Convergence
This essay rereads the debate on media convergence through the lens of the mobile consumer object. Upon reviewing the discussion of participatory convergence culture by Jenkins, Leadbeater, Rheingold and others, the article turns to Lash and Lury's analysis of the global culture industry to bring back into the picture a material world of great complexity in which convergence and participation are part of an economy of branding through differentia…
Anthropology and the Individual
Media globalization and post-socialist identities
Timescapes
This article focuses on the development of trans-European corridors of mobility to the east of Europe. It argues that the European Union's infrastructures are intent upon erasing the past and integrating the new places with as little tension as possible, for economic purposes only. Running counter to this late-capitalist investment is the collective video project Timescapes, which includes Angela Melitopoulos' road movie Corridor X, on the histor…
Mobilizing Place, Placing Mobility
Railroading America
This article studies the material production and consumption of the national community in 19th-century America. More particularly, it concentrates on the intersection between particular technologies of transportation, representation and dissemination in the spatial and imaginary formation of the American nation in the 1860s. Through an analysis of the contradictory mechanism of placement and displacement, identity and difference at the heart of a…
