No longer defined by the dotted line of the border or the national footprint of soil, today's territories are enacted through data infrastructures. From subsea cables to server halls, these infrastructures underpin new forms of governance, shaping subjects and their everyday lives. Technical Territories moves from masked protestors in Hong Kong to asylum-seekers in Christmas Island and sand miners in Singapore, exploring how these territories are both political and visceral, altering the experience of their inhabitants. Infrastructures have now become geopolitical, strategic investments that advance national visions, extend influence, and trigger trade wars. Yet at the same time, these technologies also challenge sovereignty as a bounded container, enacting a more distributed and decoupled form of governance. Such "technical territories" construct new zones where subjects are assembled, rights are undermined, labor is coordinated, and capital is extracted. The stable line of the border is replaced by more fluid configurations of power. Luke Munn stages an interdisciplinary intervention over six chapters, drawing upon a wide range of literature from technical documents and activist accounts, and bringing insights from media studies, migration studies, political theory, and cultural and social studies to bear on these new sociotechnical conditions. 606 $aInformation superhighway$xPolitical aspects$zAsia 606 $aInformation superhighway$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aSociotechnical systems$zAsia 606 $aInformation networks$xPolitical aspects$zAsia 606 $aInformation networks$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aInformation technology$xPolitical aspects$zAsia 606 $aInformation technology$xSocial aspects$zAsia 615 0$aInformation superhighway$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInformation superhighway$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSociotechnical systems 615 0$aInformation networks$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInformation networks$xSocial aspects 615 0$aInformation technology$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aInformation technology$xSocial aspects 676 $a303.4833 700 $aMunn$b Luke$01350513 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910725964803321 996 $aTechnical Territories$93601733 997 $aUNINA
