SUMMARY:The Mobility of Infrastructure
LOCATION:Room 1.103
DESCRIPTION:Studies of infrastructure that have grown exponentially in the 
 humanities and social sciences in recent years have been much less pronounc
 ed in research on Southeast Asia. This panel asks how “infrastructure” as m
 ethod, theory, and object of inquiry might be a fruitful site for the inves
 tigation of contemporary Southeast Asian societies undergoing rapid social,
  political, and economic change. It proposes to do so through the conceptua
 l framework of mobility in order to think in more multifaceted ways about t
 he spatiality and temporality of modern infrastructures in Southeast Asia t
 oday. In the literature, infrastructures are typically identified as built 
 material systems—both technical and social—that facilitate the movement of 
 capital, people, goods, technologies, and services, also across borders. Th
 is approach tends to privilege fixed nodes in larger nested systems. Here, 
 presenters shift the analysis to mobilities and circulations across time an
 d space to bring an attention to infrastructure as process: of becoming and
  undoing, of constitution and reconstitution, of materiality and immaterial
 ity. This analytical focus allows other types of geographically dispersed o
 r discontinuous infrastructure to emerge as sites of inquiry: digital, migr
 ant, and financial infrastructures, for example, to encourage new conversat
 ions about colonial and postcolonial histories of infrastructural power and
  violence. Panelists will bring multi-disciplinary perspectives and methods
  from across peninsular and mainland Southeast Asia—including trans-Asian l
 inkages between Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia—to bear on t
 he ways mobility refracts gendered, racialized, and classed relations of po
 wer that underpin public-private infrastructures and their associated state
  and non-state actors.
