Geomorphic eugenics and the engineering of surplus territory
The nothingness of surplus territory
Demarcating the granular frontier
The Sand Man
All Lines Flow In
Infrastructure has proven a polyvalent concept in human geography and anthropology for exploring the intersection of the social and technical. However, the 'below' of infrastructure, the infra, has remained underexamined in its relationship to the state, territory and the earth. This article proposes that infrastructure is better understood as a geophilosophical relation that renders a set of relations a subsurface for the propagation of another:…
One or several granular geographies
This response addresses the issues and potentialities raised by the commentaries on my article, ‘For Granular Geography’. It clarifies some of the tensions within my original presentation of granular geography, and then outlines two diverging trajectories for granular geographies to come. The first outlines a geophilosophical and geomorphological trajectory of granular assemblages that map how sand binds elemental and non-human relations to inter…
For granular geography
This article makes the case for developing granular geographies as an intervention into materialist geography. It does so by exploring sand extraction, which has so far been little explored within human geography, and how the granular dynamics of force chains, friction, and phase transitions make the discrete geographies of sand’s commodification porous to one another. By framing sand’s materiality through granular relations, I examine the ubiqui…
There’s Sand in My Infinity Pool
There's Sand in My Infinity Pool" explores land reclamation in Singapore as a speculative material and cultural practice. Typically presented as either a practical engineering feat or an ecologically disastrous approach to coastal development, the significance of land reclamation in the cultural formation of identity and landscape has yet to be addressed. Given the ongoing and speculative nature of land reclamation, this practice-led research see…
