[Sugarman] Publications - another one

[Paul N. Edwards]

I can’t remember whether I sent this either - also influenced by 2016 SA Mellon conference. The title does not capture the fact that the article is mostly about platforms in African contexts: Fidonet, M-Pesa, Whatsapp and Facebook.

Edwards, P. N. in press. “Platforms Are Infrastructures on Fire.” In Your Computer is on Fire: The Politics of Computing and New Media, edited by T. S. Mullaney, B. Peters, M. Hicks, and K. Philip, Cambridge MA: MIT Press.

Best,

Paul

Dear all:

Keith, Henrike and I are putting together the yearly report for the Mellon Foundation. We’ve not had many replies to Keith’s earlier email, below.

Would you please send updates concerning publications arising out of the Wits/Michigan collaboration—whether collaborative works or works inspired by the occasions we’ve organised—to myself and Keith ASAP? The submission date for the report is soon at hand.

yours with good wishes,

Derek

Dear colleagues,

We're gathering reporting information for the Michigan-Wits collaboration, and we would like to ask you, please, to send us any publication or event information that is related to the activities of the collaboration.  We are chiefly interested in works that are in-press (and not the several special issues that are making their way, amazingly slowly, through journals).  Please send any information on this to Henrike Florusbosch (cc'd).

Many thanks, Keith
