Meeting 40: Embedding into Systems: Infrastructure, Hospitality, and Difference

Page history last edited by Alison Clemens 6 years ago

Information:

Time: April 18, 2:00-3:00

Location: Room 13, BRBL, 121 Wall Street

Co-sponsored with the Beinecke Speaker Series and the Department of Area Studies and Humanities Research Support (DASHRS).

 

Discussion Facilitators: 

Emily Drabinski & Kate Eichhorn

 

Description:

Incorporating materials into existing systems poses practical, theoretical, and political challenges for library, archive, and museum workers. Ordering systems always reflect the positions and ideologies of their makers, and are invariably hospitable to some ways of knowing and not others. In this discussion of Susan Leigh Star’s foundational essay, “The Ethnography of Infrastructure,” we will explore the ways that our intellectual infrastructure welcomes and resists documents and objects that come from outside.
