Introduction to the volume
Research Note
This Research Note explores the cluttered interiors of the hackerspaces Noisebridge and Double Union in San Francisco, California, and i3Detroit and OmniCorpDetroit in the Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area. Drawing on spatial ethnography conducted between 2018 and 2023, I explore how hackerspaces demarcate community and relate to the public. Emerging in the United States in 2008 and spreading during the financial crisis, hackerspaces are educa…
Introduction
From 2013 to 2023, the unhoused residents of West Oakland’s Wood Street encampment constructed a sprawling informal neighborhood from the city’s vast material and spatial excess. They built and furnished myriad shanties, tiny homes, and shacks from items cast off by Oakland’s middle and upper classes and by the industries surrounding the city’s massive port. It was common to see tarps and banners used as shading materials, fastened to utility pol…
Red Tide and the Anthropological Divide at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California
In this issue, Corey Ratch explores the less permeable divides at Monkey Hill, the London Zoo’s early twentieth-century baboon exhibit. Surrounded by unjumpable ditches, it forcefully articulated human/non-human distinctions. Just as Monkey Hill put human interventions in the natural world on display, so did a mass fish die-off in Lake Merritt. The August 2022 red tide algal bloom siphoned enough oxygen from the water to litter Lake Merritt’s edg…
Improvising Field Research in Covid-era Hackerspaces
Hackerspaces and makerspaces are community-oriented technology and art workshops facilitating new forms of public life and filling infrastructural gaps in cities (but for the sake of brevity, I refer to both as hackerspaces here). My dissertation project aims at understanding how hackerspaces relate to the built environment and how they create new imaginaries of citizenship in U.S. cities like San Francisco and Detroit. Here I reflect on some of …
