In this short response I would like to address some of the criticisms made by Neil Brenner, David Madden and David Wachsmuth (2011) to the programme of urban studies presented in the volume Urban Assemblages: How Actor-Network Theory Changes Urban Studies (Farías and Bender, 2009 Farías, I. and Bender, T. 2009. Urban Assemblages: How Actor-Network Theory Changes Urban Studies, Edited by: Farías, I. and Bender, T. London: Routledge. [Google Scholar]). I will do this by addressing some crucial differences between this approach and the project of critical urban studies, which, as Brenner et al. noted, is not thoroughly discussed in the aforementioned volume. I think there are four fundamental matters to be discussed: the style of cognitive engagement (inquiries or critique), the definitions of the object of study (cities or capitalism), the underlying conceptions of the social (assemblages or structures) and the envisaged political projects (democratization or revolution). Obviously these pairs of concepts don't represent clear-cut distinctions. They do, however, signalize differences of emphasis making up the politics of urban assemblages.

This companion explores ANT as an intellectual practice, tracking its movements and engagements with a wide range of other academic and activist projects. Showcasing the work of a diverse set of ‘second generation’ ANT scholars from around the world, it highlights the exciting depth and breadth of contemporary ANT and its future possibilities.The companion has 38 chapters, each answering a key question about ANT and its capacities. Early chapters explore ANT as an intellectual practice and highlight ANT’s dialogues with other fields and key theorists. Others open critical, provocative discussions of its limitations. Later sections explore how ANT has been developed in a range of social scientific fields and how it has been used to explore a wide range of scales and sites. Chapters in the final section discuss ANT’s involvement in ‘real world’ endeavours such as disability and environmental activism, and even running a Chilean hospital. Each chapter contains an overview of relevant work and introduces original examples and ideas from the authors’ recent research. The chapters orient readers in rich, complex fields and can be read in any order or combination. Throughout the volume, authors mobilise ANT to explore and account for a range of exciting case studies: from wheelchair activism to parliamentary decision-making; from racial profiling to energy consumption monitoring; from queer sex to Korean cities. A comprehensive introduction by the editors explores the significance of ANT more broadly and provides an overview of the volume.The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory will be an inspiring and lively companion to academics and advanced undergraduates and postgraduates from across many disciplines across the social sciences, including Sociology, Geography, Politics and Urban Studies, Environmental Studies and STS, and anyone wishing to engage with ANT, to understand what it has already been used to do and to imagine what it might do in the future.

This paper engages with the question of the new as the first stage in what may, at a later time, turn into an innovation. Taking our cue from John Dewey, the new is here interpreted as a consequence of indeterminacy. We study practices that induce indeterminacy in order to ‘source’ the new. Based on findings from a collective research programme, we distinguish three ways of inducing indeterminacy: configuring situations, creating things and risking valuations. For each of these ways of inducing indeterminacy basic variations are described and discussed in greater detail. The three ways of inducing indeterminacy are shown to correspond to a present-centred concept of time that distinguishes the now from a past and a future horizon. The cases presented affirm the claim that the new is not an inevitable consequence of the increasing entanglement of technoscience and the economy but something that needs to be sought for, cared for and actively produced.

The notion of hybrid forums has come to embody the promises and dangers of ‘technical democracy’; that ethico-political project that, according to Callon, Lascoumes, and Barthe (2009. Acting in an Uncertain World: An Essay on Technical Democracy. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press), aims at the democratization of expertise through the sustained collaboration among technical experts and issue publics on shared matters of concern. In this paper I study the managerial deployment of hybrid forums as participatory devices after the 2010 earthquake and tsunami in the city of Constitución, Chile. By carefully describing the genealogy, organization and consequences of said forums, I reflect on three critical tensions underlying such collaborative processes. Firstly, taking into account the tension between the notion of hybrid forums as a concept and a device, I describe how these were devised by a Chilean consulting company as a tool for managing controversies. Secondly, dwelling on the tension between emergent and procedural dynamics of collaboration, I show the limitations these forums confronted for incorporating pre-existing controversies about the present and future of Constitución. Thirdly, I discuss how what counts as political voice was constrained by and contested in these forums, looking in detail at how local fishermen mobilized forms of political claim-making that run against the collaborative project of technical democracy. I conclude by suggesting that the most urgent challenge of hybrid forums is not just to democratically respond to existing uncertainties and matters of concern, but also to actually participate in the manufacturing of uncertainty.

Abstract Architectural design is often described as a valuation and decision-making process among infinite design alternatives, but how do alternatives come up in the first place? This chapter suggests that the proliferation of design alternatives cannot be taken for granted. Looking at design processes in three architectural offices, it suggests that alternatives emerge in moments of epistemic dissonance, in which valuation and decision-making are put on hold. The chapter focuses on three practical ways of organising epistemic dissonance by looking at, firstly, how spatial arrangements of architecture studios enable the coexistence of differing epistemic positions; secondly, how different levels of detailed knowledge are articulated in revision meetings to question and generate design alternatives; and thirdly, how visual mediators bring along new insights into the reality of a project, thus putting on trial prior design decisions and opening up a space for alternative designs.

Kann Entwerfen eine Wissenschaft sein und wie lässt sich Entwerfen wissenschaftlich erforschen oder vermitteln? In der Suche nach Antworten versammelt der Band Untersuchungen aus Architektur, Bauinformatik, Technikgeschichte, Philosophie, Ethnographie, Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft, die sowohl praxisorientierte Überlegungen als auch systematische und historische Betrachtungen des Architekturentwurfs einbeziehen. Die unterschiedlichen Zugangsweisen können zeigen, dass Entwerfen nicht nur neue Artefakte hervorbringt, sondern zugleich neues Wissen generiert. Auf diese Weise wird das Entwerfen weit mehr als ein Gegenstand der Forschung. Erkannt als Mittel der Erkenntnisgewinnung, führt er auch zu einer überfälligen Neubewertung des Entwurfshandelns.

Abstract This article focuses on spatial performances, modes of vision and touring practices enabled by sightseeing bus‐tours. Thereby, three aspects of the process by which these buses transform urban space into destination space are discussed. First, bus‐tours delineate, as they move, a unique geography of routes and stops, which is based on structured improvisation. Second, guiding practices of tour guides are crucial for assembling together a destination and their success depends on timing. Third, tourist experiences enabled by sightseeing bus‐tours involve a ‘cruise‐ship‐like’ style of movement and a mode of vision reminiscent of the ‘montage of coming attractions’ characteristic of film‐trailers. The article concludes by stressing the multiple spatial displacements involved in bus‐tour production of destination space. Key Words: Tourismmobilitybus‐toursguiding practicestrailer visions Notes 1. It is precisely such a notion of space that makes Latour argue that ‘spaces and times are traced by reversible or irreversible displacements of many types of mobiles. They are generated by the movements of mobiles, they do not frame these movements’ (cited in Bingham & Thrift, Citation2000, p. 289) 2. The role of other senses and of the body has received particular attention within contemporary tourism studies. During the 1990s, John Urry emphasised the connections between the sight and other bodily senses (see Rojek & Urry, Citation1997; Urry, Citation2001). He has insisted that ‘more senses than just vision are involved in the consumption of urban place’ (Urry, Citation1999, p. 71). Analysing tourist objects and material cultures not just as something to be gazed upon or to buy, but as an integral part of the tourist global flux has also been the order of the day (Lury, Citation1997, Haldrup & Larsen, Citation2006). It has also been proposed to understand the visual engagement of tourism, which cannot be neglected, as a form of glancing, not gazing, in order to emphasise forms of interaction of tourist and hosts through exchanges of glances (Chaney, Citation2002, p. 200). 3. It is interesting to note that the description given by Coleman and Crang resembles point by point Van Gennep’s (Citation1960) classical description of the main phases of ‘rites de passage’. Tourist performances separate space from its physical correlate. Space is made to enter into the liminal space of tourism, where it is transformed into something different. This new tourist space is finally reintegrated and made available for tourists to gaze, experience and practice. Tourism becomes thus primarily a rite of place. It involves a transformation or, better, an event that mobilises spaces and places and reconfigures them in new constellations. Such transformations of space and place are only possible if it is admitted that tourist space cannot be thought of as external to tourist performances of space and, following Michel Serres, that positions are not prior to prepositions, but constituted through displacements. 4. Real names have been changed. 5. When I met Peter in 2005, he was around 30 years old, had been working as a tour guide for four years and was a member of the FDP [Free Democratic Party]. This defined the terms of our encounter. He was mainly interested in the economic–political importance of tourism for Berlin and wanted to know my findings in this area, while I was trying to find out how he considers his political background and opinions affect his work when elaborating tourist narrations of the city and to what extent he considered tours to be political. 6. An interesting exception to this is the so‐called Videobustour analysed somewhere else (Farías, Citation2009).
Misrecognizing Tsunamis: Ontological Politics and Cosmopolitical Challenges in Early Warning Systems
2014The Sociological Review · 25 Zitationen · DOI
The failure of the Chilean tsunami warning system on the night of 27 February, 2010, opens up the question of the ontological politics of inquiry processes at the two national centres of recognition and civic protection involved. Focusing on approximately two hours of intense activity and communication, I identify three critical features of how non-human phenomena are enacted by these agencies and show how these features shaped the process of misrecognizing the ongoing tsunami. They involved, first, the problem of information and the tension between local and global assessments; second, the problem of interpretation and the tension between scientific evidence and political intervention; and, third, the problem of conclusions and the tension between certainty and uncertainty. The ensuing public and legal controversy about responsible actors of this fatal failure also offers an opportunity to reflect upon the precautionary principle as a model for action in uncertain situations. I suggest here that the failure of the tsunami warning system reveals the need of associating precaution to a cosmopolitical duty of recognition of non-human entities and forces.

This article proposes complementing actor-network theory (ANT) with Niklas Luhmann’s communication theory, in order to overcome one of ANT’s major shortcomings, namely, the lack of a conceptual repertoire to describe virtual processes such as sense-making. A highly problematic consequence of ANT’s actualism is that it cannot explain the differentiation of economic, legal, scientific, touristic, religious, medical, artistic, political and other qualities of actual entities, assemblages and relationships. By recasting Luhmann’s theory of functionally differentiated communication forms and sense-making as dealing with different types of virtual attractors calling for actualizations in concrete assemblages, I propose a symmetrical understanding of societal differentiation processes as based on the co-production of virtual attractors and actual assemblages.

The 'smart city' is likely one of the most unbearable current policy discourses and frameworks not just due to its technological determinism.Hence we are interested in exploring alternative narratives on 'smart cities' by proposing two main 'moves' from conventional perspectives.The first one involves considering a wider range of actors and logics than those usually considered in descriptions of smart cities.This does not just imply paying attention to grassroots organizations and private tech companies that develop datadriven urban services outside the conventional smart city programs run by municipalities, but also taking seriously the various non-digital logics and concerns that articulate or collide with smart city projects.The second move directly derives from the first one, as it proposes to go from a narrow focus on smart governmentality to a broader understanding on the (cosmo)-politics of smart urbanism.We examine these moves in the light of two quite different instances of smart urbanism: a service for urban exploration offered by the tech company Foursquare and a smart city project implemented by the municipality of Munich.Following the political trajectories of these two cases of smart urbanism, we underline the more-than-governmental and more-than digital logics that intervene in the making of 'ordinary' smart cities.

This paper explores processes of market creation in Chile, firstly, in the 1980s as a market for social housing was initially introduced and, 30 years later, as existing market arrangements were adapted to organize housing reconstruction after the 2010 earthquake. Looking in detail at these two cases, this paper describes a type of relationship between economics and economic processes which deviates significantly from the currently widely discussed performativity of economics. Instead, a process of economic improvisation is identified that involves the composition of market arrangements without a pre-existing economic theory or model of the economic processes at stake. Improvisation, as this paper shows, is a key under-theorized element of neoliberal transformation processes in Chile and elsewhere, and crucial to understanding neoliberal action in critical moments. The paper also proposes distinguishing different modes of economic improvisation and how these become economic models.

What is technical democracy? And why does it matter for urban studies? As an introduction to this special feature, we address these questions by reflecting on To Our Friends, the 2014 manifesto of the Invisible Committee. We engage in particular its provocative diagnosis of the current situation: power no longer resides in the modern institutions of representative democracy and the market economy; instead, power has become a matter of logistics, infrastructures and expertise. This diagnosis, we suggest, brings into view the challenge of technical democracy, that is, the democratization of techno-scientific expertise and the instauration of forms of lasting collaboration among experts and laypeople. Urban politics, we claim, increasingly turns around socio-technical controversies and it is in terms of the politics of expertise that we should analyse and engage it. Building on Science and Technology Studies (STS), we conclude by pointing to four key conceptual dimensions of technical democracy—shared uncertainty, material politics, collective experimentation and fragile democratization—and provide examples taken from the papers included in this special feature.

The 2010 earthquake-tsunami in Chile did not just destroy cities and towns. It also revealed how the neoliberal decentralisation of the Chilean state initiated during the Pinochet dictatorship had radically diminished and fragmented territorial planning capacities, representing a major obstacle to the planning and management of the reconstruction process. In the face of this situation, exceptional reconstruction agencies were created, which engaged in the elaboration of master plans, suspending in practice – at least temporarily – existing planning authorities and instruments. These new institutional arrangements were also subject to a number of critiques, sparking moral controversies among different public actors about the contribution of these exceptional governmental agencies to the common good. Drawing on the Chilean example, this article proposes expanding the concept of the state of exception to include cases in which what is reconfigured is not the relationship between the State and the population, but the relationship between the state and its territory, so that exceptional powers can be applied upon a ‘bare land’ rather than a ‘bare life’. To the extent that this different state of exception does not reduce citizens to bodies to be protected and administered, it requires a moral rather than a technical justification.

This article presents new research perspectives and analytical challenges that actor-network theory opens for urban studies. First, it reviews how the ANT principles of hybrid relationality and flat associativity are being adopted in urban studies to symmetrically expand the urban ecology to nonhumans and contest scalar conceptions of urban space and economy. Second, it proposes that ANT brings along an even more fundamental challenge related to the understanding of the city as a research object. While common understandings as a spatial object, political-economical entity and/or sociocultural form underlie its singular, stable and bounded character, ANT allows thinking the city as a multiple and decentered object. The notion of urban assemblages is introduced to account for the circulation and becoming of the city in multiple hybrid and translocal networks. Finally, it concludes by discussing some consequences of this examination of the city, especially the reassertion of the problem of complexity, especially urban complexity, if not as a starting point, then at least as a point of arrival for ANT.

Tourist maps cannot be understood as signs or symbolic representations of an already constituted destination space. They are spatial devices playing an active role in the constitution of such space. To grasp this generative capacity, the author proposes conceiving tourist maps as diagrams, in the sense first introduced by Foucault and further developed by Deleuze and Guattari. Looking at very diverse tourist maps of Berlin and relying on selected spatial theory, this article examines four diagrammatic operations through which tourist maps constitute destination space: extending matter, edging experience, placing objects, and folding displacement. The article concludes by assessing the virtual ontological status of the space thus constituted.

Dieser Band formuliert die Grundlagen einer kultursoziologisch konzipierten Stadtforschung. Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum, wie eine kulturwissenschaftliche Sicht auf Städte dabei helfen kann, klassische Fragen der Stadtsoziologie neu zu beantworten. Durch den Fokus ihrer Analyse auf zentrale kulturelle Strukturkategorien wie Geschlecht, Klasse und race gelingt es den Autor_innen, die soziologische Debatte zum Thema Stadt um eine feministische und postkoloniale Perspektive zu erweitern. Des Weiteren zeigen ihre Überlegungen, inwiefern ein kultursoziologischer Ansatz dabei helfen kann, Städte im Kontext aktueller gesellschaftlicher und ökologischer Herausforderungen zu analysieren. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/

Cultural Anthropology · 8 Zitationen · DOI
An anthropology of speed is an invitation to think differently about time. As epitomized by Johannes Fabian's (1983) Time and the Other, anthropology has long engaged with the social, historical, and cosmological construction of time and the thoroughly political production and valuation of present pasts and present futures: memory, tradition, preparedness, utopia, innovation, and so on. Against this backdrop, an anthropology of speed involves exploring time as an intensity shaping the unfolding of relations. Speed invites us to reimagine the social as a vector space, in which different bodies, human and nonhuman, are constituted through the direction, force, drive, and friction of movements and associations (Far as and Hoehne 2016). Rather than concerning itself with time, an anthropology of speed is about timing (see Far as 2010) and various concepts associated with it, such as rhythm, urgency, and acceleration. It is an invitation to study events, not just as instantiations of overarching logics of practice or social structures, but as constitutive of socialities, temporalities, actors, knowledges, and ontologies.
