Circulation(s)

Abstract
Behind each of the crises that define our enduring neoliberal present lies a problem of circulation. Whether it takes a migratory, financial, humanitarian, securitarian, ecological, or epidemiological form, a crisis is declared when things don’t flow the way they should.  The conference explores the spaces, processes, and technologies regulating how entities circulate in our highly interconnected societies – from people to data, through commodities, resources, capital, and pathogens. With its relentless pursuit of secure and optimised regimes of mobility, has the logistical rationality spilled over into every domain of contemporary life?
