Two more ChinaMade articles just out at The China Quarterly! Part of a forthcoming special issue on Chinese Infrastructure: Techno-politics, Materialities, Legacies. @dtbyler @TylerRHarlan
@TylerRHarlan writes about renewable energy infrastructures and how these have turned western China into a “low-carbon frontier,” a resource-rich region that generates low-carbon value for the national green economy. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
@dtbyler writes about the material infrastructures of industrial parks in Xinjiang and how they are productive of the “camp fix”: the creation of Muslim workers who are controlled through the built environment. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Two new ChinaMade articles by Emily Yeh and Adam Liebman just published at The China Quarterly! Part of a forthcoming special issue on Chinese Infrastructure: Techno-politics, Materialities, Legacies.
Adam Liebman writes about high metabolism infrastructures in urban China by exploring the scrap trade and challenging common assumptions of ‘wasteful’ urbanization. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Emily Yeh writes that “The arrival of natural infrastructure marks a national-scale infrastructural time that promises a new future in which village-controlled scenic areas have no part, leading to a ruination of their imagined futures.”
