[audiobook] Responding to Climate Change: Lessons from an Australian Hotspot by Paul Burton at Arts-Photography

Description

Reinhold Martin’s Mediators is a series of linked meditations on the globalized city. Focusing on infrastructural; technical; and social systems; Martin explores how the aesthetics and the political economy of cities overlap and interact. He discusses a range of subjects; including the architecture of finance written into urban policy; regimes of enumeration that remix city and country; fictional ecologies that rewrite biopolitics; the ruins of socialism strewn amid the transnational commons; and memories of revolution stored in everyday urban hardware. For Martin; these mediators—the objects; processes; and imaginaries from which these phenomena emerge—serve to explain disparate fragments of a global urbanity.Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books; Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs; social media; conference plenaries; journal articles; and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking; change; and speculation take place in scholarship.
