[Themaintainers] Themaintainers Digest, Vol 1, Issue 7

[Christopher Henke]

Dear Lee and all,

Thanks for starting up this list---I really look forward to what others
will share about studies of maintenance, repair, infrastructure, etc.  I
have devoted a large part of my research and writing to the study of repair
in a few different contexts---my work is accessible via my academia.edu
site: https://colgate.academia.edu/ChristopherHenke.  Not all of my works
have repair or maintenance directly in the title, but a lot of it is
informed by a broad theory of repair for understanding social order and
change, especially in the context of science and technology studies,
environmental sociology, and studies of food and agriculture.

There is also a repair-centered group emerging in Europe that has developed
a bibliography of sources related to repair.  You can see the link for the
bibliography on this page:
http://wohnforum.arch.ethz.ch/en/repair-maintenance-and-urban-assemblage.

Best wishes,

Chris
