Описание: In The Cybernetic Border, Iván Chaar López argues that the settler US nation requires the production and targeting of a racialized enemy that threatens the empire. The cybernetic border is organized through practices of data capture, storage, processing, circulation, and communication that police bodies and constitute the nation as a bounded, territorial space. Chaar López historicizes the US government’s use of border enforcement technologies on Mexicans, Arabs, and Muslims from the mid-twentieth century to the present, showing how data systems are presented as solutions to unauthorized border crossing. Contrary to enduring fantasies of the purported neutrality of drones, smart walls, artificial intelligence, and biometric technologies, the cybernetic border represents the consolidation of calculation and automation in the exercise of racialized violence. Chaar López draws on corporate, military, and government records, promotional documents and films, technical reports, news reporting, surveillance footage, and activist and artist practices. These materials reveal how logics of enmity are embedded into information infrastructures that shape border control and modern sovereignty.

Описание:

"What can you say about a 22-year-old girl who saves an accidental druggy from killing himself and a whole batch of nincompoops from getting arrested by risking her own life? A hero, isn't it? Well, I call her an idiot, a stupid fool, a gorgeous, fabulous, bubbly, happy, talkative, bold chick I call her my best friend... The one who helped me, a stupid phobic douchebag, recover from all his problems during his MBA. She never gave up on me. But today, she gave up on herself. She is dying, and if I don't make it in time we might just lose her forever."

Inspired by a true story, the book deals with the tale of an odd group of friends - one girl and four boys - who studied together at a top B-school in India in 2009; now in 2019, the girl attempts suicide. Her best friend rushes to see her. He informs the other friends and they gather from different cities, cooking up stories to their wives.

The story flies back and forth between two time periods - 2009 and 2019. It draws a sea of contrast between our tough, responsibility-laden married years of the 30s and the break-ups, make-ups, pressures of studies and placements of the 20s - an 'American Pie' like college life full of vivacity, parties, bakar, swirling rainbows in the head of an accidental druggy and a secret society of lesbians and bisexuals.

A life that leads to a suicide attempt, unraveling an UNSAID story of wild DOMESTIC VIOLENCE existing across urban India. This story is about rising above, f*cking things up and figuring life eventually.
