📖 New from the press: “Frictions: Conflicts, Controversies & Design Alternatives in Digital Valuation” edited by @bumatic, @Tatjana Seitz, Carsten Ochs & Jonathan Kropf. Digital infrastructures often appear to run smoothly – but it is precisely in their frictions that value conflicts, power asymmetries & scope for design become apparent.

Last Monday, at a social science conference, I learned about Anna L. Tsing’s book *Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection* (2005).

Du coup j'explore le podcast #Afrotopiques et je découvre le génial Emmanuel #Ndione qui raconte comment dans son enfance les Sénégalais détournaient à leur façon les consignes des "développeurs" venus leur expliquer comment cultiver leurs terres... Vivement conseillé ! ❤️

Quelque part ça rejoint les récits d'Anna Lowenhaupt #Tsing sur les habitants des forêts indonésiennes et leurs #frictions avec les logiques globales capitalistes détruisant leur environnement...

a note to #self?

when making a connection, a link between a b n z kind of thing,
the #rigor might not need to be concerned with a b n z but in the ability of the #frictions to #evolve.

the friction between a b n z, for example, seems multi layered (letters, cultural -
the use of n in slang english -
hence of at least 2 different frequencies)
which might come together and form a verb as in:
let's abnzise for a while?
