Zusammenfassung

Prof. Farías erforscht gegenwärtig, wie physische und infrastrukturelle Phänomene städtische Klimapolitik und Stadtentwicklung prägen. Sein Fokus liegt auf dem Verständnis von Mikroklimaregimen in Städten – etwa wie Hitze, Luftströmungen und technische Systeme räumliche Konflikte und Verwaltungspraktiken gestalten – sowie auf innovativen Methoden, um komplexe urbane Prozesse durch multimodale Forschung (Film, Spiele, Ausstellungen) zugänglich zu machen. Für Kommunen und Stadtentwickler bietet er Werkzeuge zur Analyse von Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen und zur Evaluierung von Beteiligungsprozessen; für Verwaltungen entwickelt er Konzepte, wie digitale Infrastrukturen und kooperative Governance zusammenhängen. Seine Arbeiten sind relevant für Stadtplanung, Klimaanpassung und die Gestaltung von Public-Civic-Partnerships.

The politics of urban assemblages
2011
City · DOI

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.

The Routledge Companion to Actor-Network Theory

2019

DOI

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.
