Preamble
This article introduces ‘sensing elementality’ as an analytic orientation meant to evoke the overlapping potentials of eco-critique and experimental thinking. We highlight the importance of sensing and elementality both as theoretical frameworks and emerging debates within a number of academic fields, including geography, media studies, and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Finally, we overview some of the contributions of the articles featur…
Forms of pressure
Recent scholarship in elemental media studies has sought to develop frameworks of interpretation rooted in elemental substrates and qualities. ‘Forms of pressure’ traces pressure as one such framework through the ways pressure contributes to or is associated with various social and culture forms. The article makes this case through evaluating the emergence of Science Monitoring and Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) subsea sensing cables, the di…
