Table of ContentsReviewsThe planet, the region, the community, the neighborhood, the block-these are all sensoria: sites of sense, sensation, and sensibility. Citizens of Worlds offers a powerful and instructive report on how to create everyday sensor infrastructures to register and combat the damage these social sensoria are suffering amidst today's compromised atmospheres and environments. A critical handbook for theory and action. -Stefan Helmreich, Massachusetts Institute of Technology In this timely and carefully crafted book, Jennifer Gabrys takes us on a fascinating journey to trace the multiple relations between citizens and their environments mediated though sensors. Throughout the book we encounter diverse sensing technologies, each making us reflect more deeply about how environments are made perceptible and how this allows us to act upon them in novel ways. The concept of 'citizens of worlds' sensitizes us to the multiple ways in which these novel experiences of the environment co-constitute political subjects. A mind-opening read inviting further explorations. -Ulrike Felt, University of Vienna The planet, the region, the community, the neighborhood, the block-these are all sensoria: sites of sense, sensation, and sensibility.
