Every month between April and August 2010, a team of AREA editors (Samuel Barnett, Mairead Case, Jerome Grand, Beth Gutelius, Robin Hewlett, Daniel Tucker, and Rebecca Zorach) will release a few select articles which relate to the theme of Institutions and Infrastructures. Those articles published on the web will form the basis for the print edition of AREA #10, to be released in September 2010.
Central question for AREA #10: What infrastructures and institutions from the past do we need to remember, what institutions and infrastructures from the present do we need to maintain or rethink and how can we or are we critically creating the new ones to support our work?
