Every year, for the past 15 or so, I have made a 'cover art' piece to mark the new year. This year's piece reflects my beloved home in the world, but which I am often away for long stretches. It offers a simple live visualisation of the local sea state racarter.itch.io/twenty-twent... #newYear

One very last share - I am an inveterate tinkerer with my projects post-release, and since this one attracted more interest than expected, I've decided to update the intro text, which was really rough around the edges. richardacarter.com/these-books-...

Maps have long been used as tools of colonial power. Now, Inuit maps of the Canadian Arctic are acting as tools of resistance. Also known as counter-mapping, a 2023 Nunatsiavut collaboration began as a way to bridge Inuit knowledge with Western research. buff.ly/J91euLi #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Critical Drone Studies: Drones in Society, Politics, and Culture
25-26 June 2026 at University of Cambridge.

CFP Link: www.centrefordronesandculture.com/blog/confere...
A conference hosted by the Centre for Drones and Culture Sponsored by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Dates: Thursday 25 June - Friday 26 June 2026 Venue: Jesus College, University of Cambridge From agriculture to logistics, from journalism to delivery, from war to peacebuilding: drones continue to impact the ways we live, work, tell stories, relate to one another, and imagine the future. Debates continue to surround more risky drone developments, such as drones' integration into autonomous, Al-driven warfare, and their illicit use for drugs and weapons delivery into prisons. However, alternative deployments show promise, including unmanned delivery of medicines to remote geographies, surveying of humanitarian crises and environmental disasters, and the creation of fresh visual idioms in photography, cinematography, gaming, and other forms of entertainment. Although the types of drones used in these spaces can be quite different, they often involve imaginaries of situational awareness, technological autonomy, and "distant intimacy" - of humans being physically apart from another person, object, or milieu while robots remain relatively close, at times even enabling affective feelings and cognitive impressions of access and intimacy. While drone studies has tended to treat the use of drones in these spaces separately, the ambition of this conference is to engage in boundary work which moves the field towards a more heterogeneous, as well as normative, understanding of drones in society, politics, and culture: towards a critical drone studies that acknowledges both how individual motivations and creativity shape what a drone is and does, and how such engagements are also influenced by institutions and power. To this end, this is a reflexively interdisciplinary conference that encourages exploratory perspectives on drone pasts, presents, and futures, with a focus on probing the logics and narratives underpinning drone development, proliferation, and acceptance. Research on broad topics related but not limited to the following are very welcome: Drone wars: algorithmic and Al-enabled violence; drones as justified or non-justified forms of organized / disorganized violence; "new" drone wars, drone-on-drone warfare, Drones and civil liberties: policing; surveillance; predictive politics; protest; regulatory politics; atmospheric commons Drone humanitarianism: "Drones for Good"; drones in rescue and disaster relief; drone use by non-governmental organizations; drones, human rights, and accountability Drone ecologies: climate-human-technology relationships; conservation; biomimetics; environmental monitoring Drones and political economy: commercial drone applications; drone bases, supply chains, logistics, materialities Drone labour: lived experiences involving drones; drone praxis (including ethnographies and autoethnographies); drone technology and constructions of human ability / disability Drone aesthetics: artistic, speculative, and experimental imaginaries regarding unmanned and/or autonomous artefacts; popular drone culture including photography, marketing, filmmaking, drone racing, light shows Contributions from the humanities, social sciences, and beyond are very welcome, as are contributions from those working outside of academic institutions, including practitioner communities, non-profit organizations, government and policy-making organizations, think tanks, as well as artists and creators. Details for Proposals: There are three formats for presentations; please indicate which one you are applying for on the online application. Individual research presentations (max. 15 minutes) Panel presentations (max. 3 speakers x 15 minutes) Creative Showcase presentations: There is limited room for research-grounded creative contributions as part of the conference programming. At this time, we can only accommodate screen-based / touchscreen-based outputs. Deadline for Proposals: 12 January 2026

"This text draws on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology to challenge assumptions about pathology, disability, & embodied experience. It rethinks the body not as a biological fact but as our way of having a world—culturally shaped, historically situated, & always lived."
