Technical lands are spaces united by their "exceptional"
status-their remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured
accessibility, and vigilant management. Designating land as
"technical" is thus a political act. Doing so entails dividing,
marginalizing, and rendering portions of the Earth inaccessible and
invisible. An anti-visuality of technical lands enables forms of
hypervisibility and surveillance through the rhetorical veil of
technology. Including the political and physical boundaries,
technical lands are used in highly aestheticized geographies to
resist debate surrounding production and governance. These critical
sites and spaces range from disaster exclusion and demilitarized
zones to prison yards, industrial extraction sites, airports, and
spaceports. The identification and instrumentalization of technical
lands have increased in scale and complexity since the rise of
neoliberalization. Yet, the precise theoretical contours that
define these geographies remain unclear. Technical Lands: A
Critical Primer brings together authors from a diverse array of
disciplines, geographies, and epistemologies to interrogate and
theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical
lands.
