ABSTRACT

“People as Infrastructure” was a concept deployed by the author in a 2004 publication of Public Culture. This essay returns to this notion following widespread use across the urban studies community, and attempts to find new dimensions of applicability not considered in the original publication. These are rooted in an exploration of a techno-poetics of urbanism, the continuous and oscillating relationships between human agencies and technicity, and the subsequent need to reimagine the basic terms of urban collective life.

Ritornello：“人即基础设施”

摘要

“人作为基础设施”是作者在 2004 年出版的《公共文化》中提出的一个概念。这篇文章在城市研究界广泛使用后回归了这一概念，并试图找到原始出版物中未考虑的适用性的新维度. 这些都植根于对城市主义技术诗学的探索，人类机构与技术之间持续和摇摆不定的关系，以及随后重新构想城市集体生活的基本术语的需要。
