Does anyone know anyone who has done research on the various attempts (contemporary and/or historical) to build a canal across Nicaragua?

But wait, there's more!

For the past two weeks, we've been publishing collections of "field notes" from repair thinkers, scholars and doers around the world. Check out the latest — and penultimate — installment of the series, now up on our website.

On repair, preservation & care in a broken world:

It's annoying how the duration of art exhibitions here in Amsterdam have largely decreased to 1-2 days/nights. But it's also interesting to think of the duration of an exhibition as a performative project. i.e. the opening as the exhibition, yet without relying on "performance" art.

Reviews are pretty often little more than "this thing made me think of this other thing"

How is it possible to envision rebuilding when the field is in a constant state of flux? How long will it take until any strategy proposed is rendered obsolete? What value can scholars offer when war,...

For long enough the main things I've posted on twitter were professional, like new project announcements etc. On the one hand, this is one of the main reasons I use social media. But on the other, I feel bad for reducing it to that, and have difficulty doing both at the same time in the same place
August 4, 2023 at 3:41 PM
That said, the question of the relation between the personal and the professional is one that I currently haven't resolved with regards to this platform.

Alas, I'm happy to be here, but I am exhausted of hope or optimism about it. Maybe this is just a healthy process of naturalizing something that used to hold so much intrigue and possibility.

A while ago I started keeping things I would have used to share. Ideas (qua speech) became private notes. Twitter served as a public notepad. But it was also semi-private, insofar as I felt comfortable to share, and that there weren't actually that many people on it

I've been thinking a lot about what this app, this platform means. This is not That. What does that mean for we who are here? Should I be someone else from who I became there?

Lol posted on twitter last night when I meant to post here. Good start
