To do so, I focus on the logistical technique of assembly. Not just of parts, but of places and people.

Long before its instantiation in the operations of contemporary software systems, I examine how this logistical technique emerged in the confines of sites like the ancient storehouse.

Inside and outside of the academy, across the humanities and the social sciences, and even transcending global divides, we find instance after instance where the complex interrelationship between media and the city becomes mutually constitutive. Indeed, it is hard to imagine the modern city independent of its representations in media, just as so much of our understanding of media practices is bound up in urban culture.\n\nAs the portmanteau indicates, our goals for Mediapolis are as simple as the impetus that inspired it. We aspire to create a venue for discussion at the intersection of these two phenomena, placing urban studies and media studies into conversation with one another.

Cloud computing, carbon offsetting, and renewable energy certificates share place-agnostic structures and practices. This article examines these trends together, analyzing how global forms of mediation and management mutually reinforce one another across the cloud’s carbon and data flows. This analytic affords more than just a tale of a commodity and its (mis)managed environmental externalities, but rather an analysis of the structures of fungible mediation common to both alike. Understanding this concept and its resistance to place-based accountability not only better captures the empirical and aspirational actions of cloud computing, it also allows for more efficacious forms of green media critique.\n\nIn order to study cloud computing, media scholars often begin with the data center and its relations to place. Its substantial size and energy requirements can be readily mustered to disprove the imagined deterritorial and environmental innocence of the cloud metaphor. Take, for example, Microsoft’s data centers in Boydton, Virginia. Opened in 2010 and expanded five times since, the 1.1 million ft2 cluster completely dwarfs the small town it adjoins. To meet the project’s energy needs, greater than that of Boydton itself, Dominion Virginia Power had to lay new powerlines and build a new electrical substation at the site. Two years later, citing demand, Dominion opened a new coal power plant, pushing more fossil energy onto the grid. From Boydton, we might tell the story of this cloud through concrete and coal ash.\n\nHowever, this view is at odds with consumer experiences of the cloud as well as Microsoft’s own orientation to its data centers. This Virginia site is only one part of a larger global network, designed to flexibly virtualize digital information and infrastructure around the world. The company’s cloud service, called Microsoft Azure, is composed of more than 50 data centers and 130 edge nodes, all of which work to circulate the story of the cloud rather than to hold it in place. To Microsoft and many of its users, Boydton will always be one vessel among many in an interchangeable system of data flows—a site of mediation predicated upon the interchangeability of one server to the next. From the global Azure network, the story of this cloud is one of cosmopolitan movement and exchange.\n\nSignificantly, this second view holds for the company’s orientation not just to data and data centers, but also its global carbon footprint. Since 2012, Microsoft’s operations are made carbon neutral through a company-wide carbon fee to fund renewable energy and offset purchases. Written on a global ledger, Microsoft tallies the carbon debts of Boydton and other data centers and subtracts them from a pool of purchased carbon credits generated by distant forests, wind farms, or cookstoves (DiCaprio, 2013). Within the circulatory logics of atmospheric gas or electrical grids, place cedes to flows and virtual exchanges.\n\nThe distance between these two stories is vast and environmental media studies’ tactic has often been to insist on the former over the latter. In this article I will not so much be breaking from this tendency as seeking to construct a bridge between these disparate vantage points, tracing how the place-agnostic management of cloud computing permeates corporate environmental practices that anticipate and seek to preempt green media critique. These commonalities hint at a shared, structuring logic that governs both data and carbon—one which environmental media studies must grasp before it can be effectively contested. Only by examining how these spatial strategies continually seek to reduce, refuse, and redistribute the relations between carbon and data can we best articulate how to suture them together again.\n\nIn this article I examine how fungible forms of mediation act as an aspirational ideal and management strategy within Microsoft Azure. By fungible mediation I refer to a set of semiotic strategies that serve to translate local relations into generic commodities that can be bought and sold at a distance, obfuscating the question of accountability in favor of the formal logics of accounting. This is evidenced in the rhetoric and structure of the cloud network as well as the market structures of carbon neutrality and green power purchases. This case study, drawn from corporate whitepapers and financial statements, demonstrates how Microsoft’s environmental strategy is indicative of its orientation as a cloud company, not merely a belated attempt at greenwashing. I then assess the trajectory of this logic against the call for more rooted, place-based forms of accountability, both within recent challenges to carbon neutral standards and within future visions of cloud infrastructures. I conclude with the stakes and directions this suggests for media studies more broadly.", "publicationTitle": "Culture Machine", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2019", "volume": "18", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://culturemachine.net/vol-18-the-nature-of-data-centers/managing-carbon/", "accessDate": "2024-11-23T23:23:55Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Managing Carbon and Data Flows", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Big data" }, { "tag": "Cloud" }, { "tag": "Data infrastructures" }, { "tag": "Environment" }, { "tag": "Information and IT" }, { "tag": "Internet and ICT" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2024-11-23T23:24:01Z", "dateModified": "2024-11-23T23:26:33Z" } }, { "key": "QEA628DB", "version": 4263, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 704687, "name": "Critical Infrastructure Collective", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/704687/items/QEA628DB", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective/items/QEA628DB", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 22837, "username": "ayliu", "name": "Alan Liu", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ayliu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Curley", "parsedDate": "2021", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "QEA628DB", "version": 4263, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Infrastructures as colonial beachheads: The Central Arizona Project and the taking of Navajo resources", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Andrew", "lastName": "Curley" } ], "abstractNote": "Colonial difference is a story of national infrastructures.

From World War I to American involvement in the Middle East, this connection has seemed a self-evident truth. But, as Peter A. Shulman argues, Americans had to learn to think about the geopolitics of energy in terms of security, and they did so beginning in the nineteenth century: the age of coal. Coal and Empire insightfully weaves together pivotal moments in the history of science and technology by linking coal and steam to the realms of foreign relations, navy logistics, and American politics. Long before oil, coal allowed Americans to rethink the place of the United States in the world.\n\nShulman explores how the development of coal-fired oceangoing steam power in the 1840s created new questions, opportunities, and problems for U.S. foreign relations and naval strategy. The search for coal, for example, helped take Commodore Matthew Perry to Japan in the 1850s. It facilitated Abraham Lincoln's pursuit of black colonization in 1860s Panama. After the Civil War, it led Americans to debate whether a need for coaling stations required the construction of a global empire. Until 1898, however, Americans preferred to answer the questions posed by coal with new technologies rather than new territories. Afterward, the establishment of America's string of island outposts created an entirely different demand for coal to secure the country's new colonial borders, a process that paved the way for how Americans incorporated oil into their strategic thought.\n\nBy exploring how the security dimensions of energy were not intrinsically linked to a particular source of power but rather to political choices about America's role in the world, Shulman ultimately suggests that contemporary global struggles over energy will never disappear, even if oil is someday displaced by alternative sources of power.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2024", "publisher": "Johns Hopkins University Press", "place": "Baltimore", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "318", "ISBN": "978-1-4214-1707-3", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/oa_monograph/book/40747", "accessDate": "2024-11-22T19:07:21Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Coal and Empire", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Project MUSE", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Energy" }, { "tag": "Mining oil extraction" }, { "tag": "STS" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2024-11-22T19:07:28Z", "dateModified": "2024-11-22T19:10:50Z" } }, { "key": "77JQENNA", "version": 4240, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 704687, "name": "Critical Infrastructure Collective", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/704687/items/77JQENNA", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective/items/77JQENNA", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 22837, "username": "ayliu", "name": "Alan Liu", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ayliu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Kern", "parsedDate": "2021", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "77JQENNA", "version": 4240, "itemType": "book", "title": "Feminist city: claiming space in a man-made world", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Leslie", "lastName": "Kern" } ], "abstractNote": "What should a metropolis for working women look like?

It also highlights BRI programs and projects that have emerged as an internal and external policy framework for an openly inclusive “win–win” cooperation model based on shared development and on communities of shared interests.", "publicationTitle": "Sustainability", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2018", "volume": "10", "issue": "11", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "4234", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.3390/su10114234", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/11/4234", "accessDate": "2024-11-12T01:06:21Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "2071-1050", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "China’s Belt and Road Initiative", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "www.mdpi.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "China" }, { "tag": "Postcolonial and colonial" }, { "tag": "Transportation" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2024-11-12T01:06:25Z", "dateModified": "2024-11-12T01:07:10Z" } }, { "key": "HT64G9EW", "version": 4235, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 704687, "name": "Critical Infrastructure Collective", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/704687/items/HT64G9EW", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective/items/HT64G9EW", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 22837, "username": "ayliu", "name": "Alan Liu", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ayliu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Watkins", "parsedDate": "2009", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "HT64G9EW", "version": 4235, "itemType": "encyclopediaArticle", "title": "Principles of appropriate technology", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Watkins" } ], "abstractNote": "What makes appropriate technology is determined by context.

It gained prominence during the 1990s, when it sparked fierce debate, but its influence has since waned somewhat. This chapter summarizes the contribution of postdevelopment theory to development studies and, more generally, to international studies. Postdevelopment theory’s key contribution was a stringent and multifaceted critique of the idea of development. The critique offered by postdevelopment thinkers went beyond other critical engagements with development theory, in that it sought to reject, rather than reform, development. The critique was strongly informed by concerns about Westernization and by an associated desire to validate, protect, and revive non-Western ways of life. Furthermore, postdevelopment theorists adopt a critical stance toward globalization, seeking to defend the local against the global. After reviewing postdevelopment theory’s radical critique of development, the article provides an overview of critical engagements with postdevelopment theory. Critics have been particularly concerned about postdevelopment theorists’ reluctance or inability to move beyond critique in order to clearly outline possible alternatives to development. While this critique is well founded, the article does describe the ways in which some of the recent work by postdevelopment writers has begun to take on a more constructive character. The chapter concludes that post-development theory is relevant not only to those interested in development theory, but also to all those interested in thinking of alternatives to the capitalist, industrialized way of life that has for so long been held up as an ideal toward which all should strive.", "bookTitle": "Oxford Research Encyclopedia of International Studies", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2010", "publisher": "Oxford University Press", "place": "Oxford", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "", "ISBN": "978-0-19-084662-6", "DOI": "10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.013.39", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://oxfordre.com/internationalstudies/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.001.0001/acrefore-9780190846626-e-39", "accessDate": "2024-11-12T00:13:41Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "oxfordre.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Development" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2024-11-12T00:13:57Z", "dateModified": "2024-11-12T00:16:29Z" } }, { "key": "WVMEBMLQ", "version": 4378, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 704687, "name": "Critical Infrastructure Collective", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/704687/items/WVMEBMLQ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective/items/WVMEBMLQ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 22837, "username": "ayliu", "name": "Alan Liu", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ayliu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Chalfin", "parsedDate": "2023-07-19", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "WVMEBMLQ", "version": 4378, "itemType": "bookSection", "title": "Popular Infrastructures in West Africa", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Brenda", "lastName": "Chalfin" } ], "abstractNote": "Popular infrastructures in West Africa encompass a broad array of basic utilities enabling access to water, sanitation, power, communication, and transportation networks. Though characterized as “by the people, for the people” formulations, popular infrastructures are rarely stand-alone and intersect with services sponsored by states, international investors, and humanitarian organizations. These amalgams evince a complex politics where self-determination vies with elite accommodation and infrastructural operations command labor and impinge upon public and private life. Most notable across the region is the overwhelming inadequacy of state-based infrastructural orders and the heightened role of corporate capital and commodification to meet and modify basic infrastructural needs and installations. This is evident in the rise of both digital communication networks and high-tech megaports and extractive enterprise across this wide swath of nation-states, the one intensifying social relations and interdependencies, the other promoting de-peopling and alienation. Like the “just-in-time” humanitarian infrastructural aid packages that mark the region’s crisis zones, they each carry their own chimera of promise. Received and reflected on by a diverse populace, these offerings and impositions combine with infrastructural strategies already in place—evident in revitalized tea circles in Niger and Burkina Faso; repair, care, and fabrication networks in Guinea, Ghana, Togo, and Nigeria; public points of gathering in Gambia, Cote d’Ivoire, and Benin; or new conventions of domesticity in Mali, Senegal, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Irreducible to resistance or accommodation, popular infrastructural solutions prioritize opportunity and security in the face of the near inevitable predations of large-scale infrastructural interventions motivated by profit, development, or both.", "bookTitle": "Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Anthropology", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2023/07/19", "publisher": "", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "", "ISBN": "978-0-19-085458-4", "DOI": "10.1093/acrefore/9780190854584.013.593", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://oxfordre.com/anthropology/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780190854584.001.0001/acrefore-9780190854584-e-593", "accessDate": "2024-11-11T23:18:45Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "oxfordre.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Development" }, { "tag": "Postcolonial and colonial" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2024-11-11T23:18:50Z", "dateModified": "2024-11-11T23:24:34Z" } }, { "key": "JDNKADNG", "version": 4218, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 704687, "name": "Critical Infrastructure Collective", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/704687/items/JDNKADNG", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/critical_infrastructure_collective/items/JDNKADNG", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 22837, "username": "ayliu", "name": "Alan Liu", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ayliu", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Dyson", "parsedDate": "2017", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "JDNKADNG", "version": 4218, "itemType": "webpage", "title": "Black Interiority: Notes on Architecture, Infrastructure, Environmental Justice, and Abstract Drawing", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Torkwase", "lastName": "Dyson" } ], "abstractNote": "[First two paragraphs] In built and natural environments, each object helps define our conditions of movement.

This means for the systemically disenfranchised, compositional movement (ways in which the body unifies, balances, and arranges itself to move through space) is a skill used in the service of self-emancipation within hostile geographies. Further, the brain deciphers, measures, categorizes, and understands both immediate and distant physical forms in relationship to the spatial structures defined by the conditions of power.\n\nThis relationship of interior and exterior—black mind/body geographic experiences—is inextricably tied to lands and waters riddled with architectural and infrastructural histories designed to isolate control over clean natural resources within white conservative and corporate hyper-capitalist systems.
