Anthro, STS. Nourishment, bodies, cities, stories (2025: noise!) South African in Melbourne/ Naarm.

Really enjoyed @digitaldang.bsky.social’s talk on loudspeakers in the Vietnamese context. The especially evocative ‘fish sauce and exhaust’ phrase encapsulating the urban streetscape was a deliciously poetic highlight 💚 📢 #signalsandnoises #AusSTS2025

Yep, glowing walls and defunct devices will be looking on at #AusSTS2025. Day 1 is at the National Communication Museum, and we're going to use the space & stuff to think with. Infrastructures, enfolded time & space, translation, listening, silencing, senses. Get in it aussts.org/aussts-2025-...

Did I mention the superb photo essays? Who wouldn't want this in their Saturday ritual? NB: A note to folks who are suspicious of Whatsapp delivery -it's all above board. Whatsapp will likely warn you that the pdf may contain harmful things. Don't stress. It's all good. or rather, very very good.
Just a weekly reminder that The Continent drops this afternoon.

You are going to want to get a subscription now to be with all the cool 😎 kids.

2.) Strongly recommend @thecontinent.org - a smart, thoughtful & aesthetically extremely fine newspaper delivered in the delightful format of a pdf via Whatsapp. African & global news. Stories, a (humbling) quiz. Diverse coverage, sincere retractions, sharp jokes www.thecontinent.org
The Continent | Africa
The Continent is an award-winning African newspaper, designed to be read and shared on WhatsApp.

Two things to spruik on this weird-weather Sunday. First, 'Contested Ecologie's, an edited volume by Lesley Green (2013). #STSers should know that certain publication/ library systems bury it. It's open access, (this link seems broken but msg me for HSRC pdf) hsrcpress.ac.za/product/cont...

Jane Calvert is asking some home questions - do STS scholars risk getting too close to their fields ('the domestication of critique') and thus excluding more radical voices (such as those from civil society) by our presence and proximity? www.youtube.com/watch?v=46_G... #SSNbooktalk

It does sure look like Trump is trying to make an example out of South Africa www.vox.com/politics/399.... I hope that we keep seeing what Rebecca Davis reported last week.. 1/2
The roots of Donald Trump’s fixation with South Africa
How South Africa’s effort to address apartheid’s legacy riled up Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
