There are some new papers on the circulations page.

The most recent is one about numbers and facts in the Northern Territory Intervention. Much of it is about Income quarantining or income management and how this effect a multiplicity in money value which is an unusual case in Western markets. I’m still working on this and looking at it through Deleuze’s control societies.

The second two are just papers I have had for a while. One is on Bruno Latour’s “Politics of Nature” and looks at the Merri Creek in Melbourne and its history. The last third of the paper deals with due process or the perplexity-consultation-hierarchization-institution and how these might be seen in material practices. the other paper is on digital objects and is trying to come up with a typology to get away from talking of digital objects (and knowledge) merely as representation. It does so my using Pierce’s typology of symbol, index and icon.
