GENERAL INTENTIONS

This is the continuation of the research I have started, "A dictatorship in twilight" during Special Issue #11 : Post-digital itch.

INFRASTRUCTURE & CORRUPTION

While the project will be investigating what infrastructures are corrupted and how, the thesis will be an account both how they are weaponized, AND an analysis of 'why' these systems are corrupted. In a way, what could be the softer infrastructures that allow for these 'hard' architectures/infrastructures to be corrupted.

I want to explore how nation-states restrict flows of communication, monitor content, and promote certain parameters of ‘social order’ through the tactical corruption of infrastructure, both on land and online.

Along with the growth of the thesis, I will be observing through the cross-examination and juxtaposition method that I have pre-developed for my project.

Can we recognize the symptoms of a power unit that weaponizes infrastructures to corrupt them ? (the answer will be a yes) And if so, what exactly are these dynamics ? How can we categorize them to better identify them, and then work around them ?

I will be using this CARE SHEET system of juxtaposition and cross-examination as a methodology to investigate and exemplify what might also be considered or infra-structural corruptions within the material world, the online arena, and in the intersection between the two.

The quesited architectures will be purposely chosen for this thesis to be a stand-alone project.

The goal is to make a series of stories, a series of "maquettes", that would be a direct translation of the violence of some architectural infrastructures into digital shapes. They will all be gathered as part of one bigger story, as a mode of historicizing these pervasive tactics.

OUTLINE

See how the thesis outline was generated

I can’t really lay out the thesis at this exact moment, the solid narrative stemming from the module will only shape into its form around mid-December. For the moment I'm focusing on the structure and on finding some concrete examples to put in it (see module).

CHAPTER 1 : THE MAKING OF HERITAGE (Centralized narrative)
In this chapter we'll look into the long, but uncomplicated, history of self-glorification and exceptionnalism

Area of interest : The 'national' novel
Area of influence : The City-State
Area of operation : The synthesis of data

CHAPTER 2 : TITLE TO COME (Expansionnist desires)
Area of interest : The expandable right to design
Area of influence : Tragedy of the commons
Area of operation : To light a candle is to cast a shadow

CHAPTER 3 : NETWORKS (All people in a common framework)
Area of interest : COOPERATIONS?
Area of influence : Tragedy of the anticommons
Area of operation : The strive towards more and more data

CHAPTER 4 : A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS WORTH A BATTALION (The belief in supperiority of essence)
Area of interest :
Area of influence :
Area of operation : Masterplanning

Technically, all the content will be organized in order to be read through different possible reading paths. It can also be organized through the three modalities, and make-up three chapters representing the cycle of existence of a corrupted architecture.

-Normally you have already read my project proposal, where I announce the grand ambition of developing a system that will perfectly layout all the elements that constitute a corrupted infrastructure. Well, the thesis will be a direct account of the success of this method.

-I didn’t want my research to be an all-around the globe sort of thing, like adding a pin on the map in the toilets to keep a collection of all the places I’ve been through. Also, in order not to sound like a paternalist ethnologist or a preachy tourist, I have decided to follow as a guidance line the history that I have been fed with since childhood and up until now.
+Can we recognize the symptoms of a power unit that weaponizes infrastructures to corrupt them ? (the answer will be a yes) And if so, what exactly are these dynamics ? How can we categorize them to better identify them, and then work around them ?
-The heart of that hot topic : the French empire and its strive towards domination. (definitely not a title, just stating)

-Be able to define whether these Imperial powers are using the same mechanics to conquer the digital arena as they have been using, and are still using, to conquer physical territory (urban projects, etc). If not, then be able to recognize new patterns, or speculate future ones.

+Technically, all the content will be organized in order to be read through different possible reading paths. It can also be organized through the three modalities, and make-up three chapters representing the cycle of existence of a corrupted architecture.
-I can’t really lay out the thesis at this exact moment, because it will be written in a non-linear way, and one of the modules in the program will shape them to into a solid narrative, but this will only shape into its firm form around December. Here are some key elements that I am focusing on at the moment.
+AREA OF INTEREST :  <br>
-RESEARCH UNIT: A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS WORTH A BATTALION
+AREA OF INFLUENCE : <br>
-The French empire builder Hubert Lyautey. Key strategist of French colonialism, and the Architecture of Protectorate during French Settlement in post-colonial Morocco
-ONE OF THE CHAPTERS : YOU’LL GET TO SLEEP WITH NAPOLEON, on life & death
-THERE WILL BE THREE OR FOR CHAPTERS PER UNIT, depending on the system
-LAST CHAPTER : THE DESERTS OF MODERNITY, tangible dependencies
-For the moment I have already started a few chapters, but I need to focus on the structure before I really understand what the chapters will be made of.
+AREA OF OPERATION : <br>
