An Investigation Into Social And Political Assembly And How Urban Infrastructure Can Support Pluralism, Social Resilience, And Democracy.Infrastructuring Assemblies Investigates The Phenomenon Of Social And Political Assembly While Speculating On The Potential Of Proximity And Urban (Micro)Infrastructure As A Form Of Cultural Resistance. Around The Globe, Pluralist Democratic Culture Is Under Populist Attack, And We Are Increasingly Confronted With The Question Of What Kind Of Democracy One Is Referring ToAs If There Were Many. On Campuses, Which Have Been Historically Considered Sites Of Free Speech And Protest, Forms Of Assembly Are Now Being Carefully Curated; Manicured Like Framed SelfReferential Objects In A White Cube.As An Initial Point Of Departure, Infrastructuring Assemblies Delivers A Series Of Conceptual Framings And Door Openers Around The Notion Of Urban Agonism. Contrary To The Conception Of Spatial Production As An Autonomous Object With Singular Authorship, It Argues That The Methodologies Inherent In Critical Spatial Practices Are Crucial To Activate Processes Of Public Negotiation And Everyday Urbanism In Conversation And Exchange With Its Environment. The Action That Is Being Described Here Will Be Referred To As InfrastructuringSomething You Do Rather Than Taking It For Granted.When We Consider Forms Of Urban Resistance, We May Think Of Temporary Instances Such As The Global Occupy! Movement, The Gezi Park Protests In Istanbul, Or Most Recently, The Student Protests Across Campuses In The United States. All Of Those Modes Of Resistance Have One Aspect In CommonTheir Temporary Nature, Born Out Of The Necessity Of The Moment. Yet We Might Also Consider Infrastructures And Protocols That Can Assist More LongTerm Forms Of Urban Infrastructure And Retrofitting Towards Democratic Futures And Agonistic Assemblies.Contributorsanita Osorio, Clemens V.
