Hello, all-- <br>
<br>
<i>Repair Work Ethnographies</i> looks like it could be a wonderful
work, but Palgrave has it on the market for $96.00 (Kindle for
$94.00). Such a prohibitive cost means that it won't make course
lists or even personal bookshelves any time soon, and it will even
be a tough sell for libraries. I've never understood the logic of
such a pricing strategy. <br>

<div>I can't remember if this has gone out to the list already,
but I wanted to draw (or re-draw) everyone's attention to new
book on repair work. Edited by Ignaz Strebel, Alain Bovet, and

Revisiting Breakdown, Relocating Materiality</i> </a>draws
together about ten ethnographies, including several by folks
who have presented at or been involved in The Maintainers. I
paste a description of the volume below. </div>

</div>
<div>This brings me to my request: in the coming months, The
Maintainers organization will be revamping its communications
efforts, and we would love to highlight new publications on
maintenance, repair, infrastructure, and related topics. So,
if you or others have something coming out, please let us
know, and we will be happy to promote the work! Thanks.</div>

pioneering book homes in on repair as an everyday practice.
Bringing together exemplary ethnographies of repair work
around the world, it examines the politics of repair, its
work settings and intricate networks, in and across a wide
range of situations, lay and professional. The book
evidences the topical relevance of situated inquiry into
breakdown, repair, and maintenance for engaging with the
contemporary world more broadly. Airplanes and artworks,
bicycles and buildings, cars and computers, medical devices
and mobile phones, as virtually any commodity,
infrastructure or technical artifact, have in common their
occasional breakdown, if not inbuilt obsolescence. Hence the
point and purpose of closely examining how and when they are
fixed.</span><br clear="all">
