[Themaintainers] Repair Work Ethnographies and a Request

Thu Feb 21 02:12:55 EST 2019

Hello everyone, 
totally agree with Lara. I’m very uncomfortable with these prices.
You’ll find the chapter I wrote with David Pontille on the French Open Access platform HAL. https://hal-mines-paristech.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02021201/document <https://hal-mines-paristech.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02021201/document>
We put there each of our papers the very day the journal or book is out. A small gesture until the great wave of open access puts the big publishers down in their place…

I believe it reflects the difficulties of getting edited collections off the ground today (and thanks to the editors for their careful work). I’d be happy to share author-draft copies of my chapter if it happens to be of interest to anyone on the list.

>>> Repair Work Ethnographies 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.

>>>> This 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.
