We suggest that there is newness in the operation of anti-Black violence in our present, but this newness does not lie in the fact of exceptional or militarized police force. We highlight shifts in the social order that policing actively supports, that are assembled through the geo-political economies of urban space.

The 2003 Tribunal Agreement may be considered an earlier starting point for the ECCC. This Agreement, many years in the negotiating, was signed between the United Nations and Cambodia at the Chaktomuk Theatre in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. As I discuss in my paper, "Ordinary Theatre and Extraordinary Law at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal," the choice of location was from far from coincidental on the part of the Cambodian government.

An atmosphere cuts through the ontology of elements, isolating them and not allowing them to connect. But it does this on a bed of continuum, agreement, desire. This is the most important characteristic of atmospheric engineering: an atmosphere must dissimulate itself as pure emergence and never show itself to be an engineering feat, for otherwise resistance to it will be cropping up at an uncontrollable rate.

Doreen Massey believed in cracks, niches, chinks in the negative power people wield. Her life, politics, and scholarship were light and Doreen shone with care, passion, and intellect

When I set out to write my article, "Indignation and Inclusion: Activism, difference, and emergent urban politics in postcrash Madrid," Ahora Madrid was in its infancy. As an addendum to this piece, I want to emphasize two ideas. One is contextual and historical, while the other is perhaps an orientation for future research and the role of scholars in articulating the horizons of possibility for radical democratic praxis.

Can the desire to do something in digital spaces, like social media, produce social changes that are effective, and can the concept of the Anthropocene accommodate these changes? I explore these two questions in my recently published article, “The contingency of change in the Anthropocene: More-than-real renegotiation of power relations in climate change institutional transformation in Australia.”

The paper argues that contradictions may open up opportunities to engage with climate action in a manner that seeks to advance progressive goals, rather than reproduce existing environmental injustices. This argument emerges from a normative concern with finding out "what to do" for climate change. In practice, this question is not about who should do something but who can do something about climate change.

As a historian-novelist, Ben was drawn to the contingent constellations of people and events, reveling in their surprising and unexpected juxtapositions. All of these generated not only alternative and parallel universes to what had happened; they also opened up doors into worlds that could have happened. In other words, for Ben, thinking entailed recuperating those events and imaginings that had to be repressed in the making of dominant realities.

The social practice of everyday hacking, digital and mobile workarounds, information piracy, illegal copying and sharing—in a word, jugaad culture—is an increasing feature of post-liberalization India. But it has a history that must be understood as always involving repeatedly forgotten experiments in techno-perceptual assemblages.

A chorus of activists and intellectuals claim that the Zapatista Army of National Liberation has either ceased to exist or become politically irrelevant for Mexico and the world. In this paper I put forward the rather different thesis that despite the enormity of their task, the Zapatista project continues apace and merits careful consideration.
