Excited to be part of this rigorous group of thinkers about space and repair in the face of rising authoritarianism, pandemic and illness, and digital manipulation and surveillance. My gratitude to Frances & all the amazing Places editors. #critgeog #radicalgeog #queer #trans
The title is an homage to #LauraPulido whose "Reflections on a White Discipline" (2002) is still a must read within and beyond #critgeog #humgeog #polecol.
This majestic work by @MWerner2010 @diana_ojedao #BeckyMansfield #ChristianBerndt @akshattuck ++ is a landmark piece in geography, a call to action for the field to address the global #pesticide complex in their work. #humgeog #critgeog...

What are your favorite critical socsci methods articles from the 2010s? I'm #critgeog leaning but quite promiscuous in my methods adorations so please share what delights you across the fields and approaches!
.@agaleszczynski responding: focus looks at ontological overdetermination of techno-capitalist takeover but technology is malleable / in excess prescripted & programmed uses >> my ques not objects but what are excesses & how to get to them? #diggeog #femgeog #critgeog
.@agaleszczynski the glitch is a "positive departure," per @LegacyRussell, that is a "correction to the 'machine' ... [of] normative and hegemonic systems" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski we need not rely on mass resistance alone for social change but can also turn to glitchy-ness, not as solution but interference, that affords other forms of capital and power in cities / advocating for tactics && strategies @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski glitchy-ness interferes in the politics of inevitable technocapitalist takeover / resist platform of #platform #urbanism >> links back to work of @ProfGillian as well as @geoplace & @TowardsFairWork Fndtn, etc @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski we need not throw out #platformurbanism or #platformcapitalism theory but an entreaty to re-theorize them as glitchy through different bodies/experiences esp, so that we can remake cities differently @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski where glitches surprise us, cause effects upon other platforms, and are absent inform empirics >> so the task before us, quoting @SaraNAhmed, to identify and take action @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 3rd glitch as absence (cont.): platform city interface is not fully engineered / designed by capitalist entities but we are part of assembling through open, use, pay w app @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 3rd glitch as absence: Vanc as ridehail-less city = momentary disappoint of no Uber app (material/affective) did not make me use competing app (bc effort of new app/signup) but to use existing public transit (which knoe well) @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 2nd glitch as casualty: #deleteUber campaign w 1st socmed campaign re surge charges of opportunism when access blocked >> think of platform (Uber) becomes undone by rise/effect of other app/action (Twitter/protest) @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 1st glitch as surprise bc platform made visible: #sidewalkToronto that "Sidewalk Labs 'hadn't foreseen' data concerns' of dataveillance of neighborhood, "passion Canadians have for data residency" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog...
.@agaleszczynski glitch is also an ethos of attunement in #platformurbanism where they cannot be smooothed out / "fixed" to fit corp/neolib desires >> offers three glitches, starting with #sidewalkToronto @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski builds from @LegacyRussell's use of the "glitch" from #glitchfeminism: where the error "may not be an error" but opens possibility for change >> AL sees this as epistemological endpoint where can shift away from dystopian endpt @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski quotes @_sarahbarns responses "to new configuration btw people, networks, & urban infrastructures resulting in real-time, ubiquitous technologies and platforms" >> city becomes contemp stage of neoliberalism of explaining self @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski now bringing us back to @jathansadowski & my dear friend @claudiakincaid argument "Amazon is running its own hunger games – and all the players will be losers" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog...
.@agaleszczynski referencing @n_srnck's work on #platformcapitalism as well as Rodgers & Moore whereby there is a speculative substitutions of "capitalism for urbanism" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski "while platform urbanism remains unsolidified thesis to signal governance/tech/capital shifts..." but also "increasingly advanced with platform capitalism superimposed over #urban social fabric" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski citing #SarahBarnes, @RobKitchin, and @shannonmattern to open her talk when defining #platform #urbanism >> now moving on to def of #smartcities in relation @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
