#Standardization #Desrosières
What is the role of #STS in reimagining #SoutheastAsia as an #Area? How can #STS do so without letting any single regime of spatial identity dominate to the extent that it becomes fixed or given?

👀Read T. Winichakul’s meditation in his Afterword: https://doi.org/qjxb
#Areas are not containers—they materialise, for example, as the changing set of #multispecies entanglements linking humans, cattle, chemicals, and cultural tastes across borders

👀Read by @JirapornZwemmer on Southeast Asian cross-border #CattleTrade: https://doi.org/qjv4
Taking the example of peripheral urban gardens in Manila @ksaguin reconceptualizes #Area within #Urbanism + #SoutheastAsia, shifting from static spatial formulations toward its generative capacities for multiplicity & heterogeneity
