We are very happy to announce the publication of the first issue of a new, beautifully-designed e-journal ROADSIDES devoted to exploring the social life of infrastructure https://roadsides.roadworkasia.com
The first issue, titled INFRASTRUCTURAL TIMES, advances an argument that infrastructure is inherently lively and fragile because it is always a complex web of multiple temporalities. The texts in this collection show a few examples of the variety of temporalities that make and unmake infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic, in Tajikistan, in India, at the eastern borders of the European Union, in Switzerland and in England. Focusing explicitly on those temporalities should provide food for thought in terms of rethinking infrastructure as an asynchronic timescape (Adam 1998).
All individual articles of Roadsides are available open access to read online as well as for download in PDF form. The first issue is available for e-viewing and download here: https://roadsides.roadworkasia.com/ejournal/
