How do we get to know air? Aeropolis: Queering Air in Toxicpolluted
Worlds offers a speculative and interdisciplinary framework to
reorient common understandings of air and air pollution as matter
“out there.” Aeropolis contests regimes of managing air which
ultimately operate toward upholding dominant modes of world-making
that are dependent on forms of exclusion and inequity. Instead,
Aeropolis proposes that air is thought of as a city, to center its
social, cultural, political, ecological entanglements. Drawing upon
feminist technoscience and queer ecological frameworks, Aeropolis
moves away from solutions toward a methodology of
“designing-thinking-making” that redirects and connects our
understandings of air—as designers, as citizens—with ongoing
struggles for just futures. Moving through a series of design
interventions, histories of air, and theoretical coordinates,
Aeropolis thinks with air across its many forms—through smog and
dust, bodies and breath, pollen and weeds, and from urban design to
geopolitics, polluted environments to open data, parks to aerial
infrastructures. It insists that we acknowledge the diversity of
air and its relation to humans, non-humans, and environments, both
physically and affectively. That we become sensible to air by
following its unruliness—by living, breathing, seeing, holding,
touching, queering airs. With contributions from María Puig de la
Bellacasa and Timothy K. Choy.
