TL;DR: In this paper, the authors ask whether horror makes the potentiality of space available and extend the operations deeming vacated spaces empty ones, thereby making them imaginatively available for acquisition and for other endeavors, such as clearing agendas (gentrification, redevelopment, demolition, etc.).
Abstract: Does horror make the potentiality of space available and extend the operations deeming vacated spaces empty ones, thereby making them imaginatively available for acquisition and for other endeavors, such as clearing agendas (gentrification, redevelopment, demolition, etc.)? Or does horror interrupt those processes, drawing an awareness to our complicity in the visual regimes that demand we see vacancy as an emptiness that must be filled? These questions need to be asked with an awareness of their geopolitical inflection in particular contexts, such as in Italy in the years during and just after the so - called economic miracle, the label given to the boom years of the 1950s and 1960s, a period characterized by the promotion of American - style consumerism and broader access to middle - class standards of living.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how school-based practitioners supporting children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) use particular social capital relations to re-frame and understand the co/production of support for such children.
Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper examines how school-based practitioners supporting children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) use particular social capital relations. Social capital theory together with selected ‘Productive Pedagogies’ items, are applied to re-frame and understand the co/production of support for such children. Empirical data from the ‘Language for All’ study, which investigates SLCN provision in schools in England, are analysed to understand support network social capital. Novel insights on the types and purposes of inter-professional connectedness within SLCN support networks, in particular how relational agency is inflected by affect, are offered.

TL;DR: Friedman et al. as discussed by the authors used the diagram of the amorous search to account for how the rigorously partitioned space opens up multiple possible confi gurations of desire.
Abstract: ing measurement from both labor as lived practice(s) and from human proportions. The resistance—stubborn, often brutally furious—to the metric system then (as now) suggests the diffi culty of nonanthropometric models in ways resonant with the dominant thinking of landscape explored herein and the diffi culty of severing conceptual bonds to human scale, sense, perspective, framing, and judgment. 7.

Nathan Friedman, “Diagram of the Amorous Search: Generating Desire with Guiraudie’s L’inconnu du lac,” Scapegoat: Architecture, Landscape, Political Economy 9 (Winter/Spring 2015): 185. This excellent article treats the fi lm’s landscape in relation to affective mapping. Deploying the Deleuzian notion of diagram to account for how the rigorously partitioned space opens up multiple possible confi gurations of desire, Friedman’s article is powerfully attentive to the arrangement of bodies, elevations, and topologies in the fi lm, given a new shape in the form of elemental diagrams drawn by the author. 10. Jonathan Romney, “Dream Lovers,” Film Comment 50 (1) (January–February 2014): 64–67. Here, landscape is taken not only taken as affective and scenographic but also as integral to the project of thinking Guiraudie in relation to queer cinema. That his fi lms in general queer rural landscapes in the same bold way that they make objects of desire from unconventional bodies is a common refrain in the critical literature on his body of work. 11. Ariane Nicolas, “L’Inconnu du lac: Eros et Thanatos sont sur un bateau . . . ,” Contre Champ, June 19, 2013, https://blog.francetvinfo.fr/actu-cine/2013/06/19/ linconnu-du-lac-eros-et-thanatos-sont-sur-un-bateau.html. Nicolas appropriates all subsequent spectatorial anxiety to the question of the spectre of this fi sh: “Avant même la scène du meurtre, Guiraudie introduit une tension dramatique en la personne du silure, un poisson monstrueux long de 4 à 7 mètres (Henri ne sait plus bien). Dès lors, la moindre scène de nage devient source d’angoisse.” 12.

TL;DR: Stiegler as discussed by the authors argues that we need to understand the process of technical evolution given that we are experiencing the deep opacity of contemporary technics; we do not immediately understand what is being played out in technics, nor what are being profoundly transformed therein, even though we unceasingly have to make decisions regarding technics.
Abstract: Today, we need to understand the process of technical evolution given that we are experiencing the deep opacity of contemporary technics; we do not immediately understand what is being played out in technics, nor what is being profoundly transformed therein, even though we unceasingly have to make decisions regarding technics, the consequences of which are felt to escape us more and more. —Bernard Stiegler, Technics and Time
TL;DR: Workers find themselves wandering in an immense infrastructure, that of modern life, which reflects back to them not their growing power, but rather, their impotence as mentioned in this paper, a world beyond their control, perhaps beyond anyone's control.
Abstract: The development of large-scale industry expresses itself, finally, in the extrusion of workers from the factory—deindustrialisation. Beyond the factory gates, workers find themselves wandering in an immense infrastructure, that of modern life, which reflects back to them not their growing power, but rather, their impotence. They see not a world of their making, but rather a runaway world, a world beyond their control, perhaps beyond anyone’s control. —Endnotes, “A History of Separation”
