‘For Palestinians, roads are engineered for delay,‘ writes Nadi Abusaada in the Roads issue. ‘These roads defy the capitalist logic of acceleration and follow instead a colonial logic of obstruction.’

Read in print and now online:
The road is the frontier - The Architectural Review
Road systems, weaponised as tools of colonisation around the world, can equally be sites of resistance, writes Nadi Abusaada

Knowledge workers, whose jobs involve handling information rather than producing goods, were supposed to be the beneficiaries of neoliberalism and globalization.

But generative AI and a hypercompetitive employment market is immiserating them too.

The historcal call (to PKK, for doing congress, laying down arms & self-annulment) from Rêber Apo comes with a crucial annotation:

"No doubt that the laying down of arms and the self annulment of the PKK in practice would require the recognition of the democratic politics and the legal dimension."
