Temporalities of infrastructure: An ethnographic study of rural road building, spectral mining, and good living
Purpose We examine how citizens and the state negotiate infrastructure projects using the concept of temporal incongruence. We consider infrastructures in a plural sense, following several projects in Andean, Ecuador, a region known for challenging roads and a history mining exploration and resistance. We set these layered infrastructure projects in the context of the postneoliberal state, an era characterized by the building of unprecedented meg…

This research aimed to contribute to understanding emotional reactions to ecological change in “environmental observers,” who purposely observe the environment and environmental information as part of their work or role in society (e.g., citizen scientists, environmental professionals, Indigenous knowledge keepers). People in such roles are vulnerable to experiencing negative emotions, which could, in turn, affect their decision to keep engaging …

This study focuses on the intricate relationship between employment precarity and food provision on cargo ships. By presenting seafarers' perspectives, we aim to understand how precarious employment practi…
