Sergiej Starosielski o sytuacji w Ukrainie w kontekście kryzysu energetycznego, spowodowanego rosyjskimi ostrzałami infrastruktury krytycznej. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message

Gość "Kuriera w samo południe" jest przekonany, że taka decyzja jest zbyt przedwczesna, a nawet pryszcza, że mogło dojść do pomyłki. Wskazuje, że obecnie władze Kijowa nie mają możliwości ewakuacji wszystkich mieszkańców. Ponadto, sytuacja obecnie jest stabilna, więc zastosowanie takich środków nie jest konieczne. W pierwszych tygodniach bardziej ludzie sami wyjeżdżali. Ludzie są w stanie się zorganizować i wyjechać. Natomiast, nie rozumiem dlaczego władza rzuca takie hasła. Trudno powiedzieć. Sergiusz Starosielski zwraca uwagę na utrudnienia dla mieszkańców ukraińskiej stolicy pod kątem prądu. Niektóre rejony nie mają stabilnych dostaw elektryczności oraz wody. Jednak służby miasta próbują bezzwłocznie naprawiać uszkodzenia i normalizować dostawy. Możliwe, że władze się nie podejrzewali, że Rosjanie mogą po prostu pójść w tym kierunku, żeby brutalnie ostrzeliwać infrastrukturę cywilną, przede wszystkim stacje elektryczne. Jest to duże utrudnienie dla mieszkańców oraz przedsiębiorców. Rozmówca Łukasza Jankowskiego tłumaczy, ze w związku z obecnymi przerwami w dostawach elektryczności, jego przedsiębiorstwo pracuje na 25 procent od przedwojennych możliwości. Większość czasu nie ma prądu i po prostu nie idzie obsłużyć klienta. Trudno zastosować jakieś rozwiązanie. W tej chwili szukamy regeneratora, dzięki któremu uda się zasilić magazyny i usprawnić produkcję. Na zakończenie, Sergiusz Starosielski stwierdza, że mieszkańcy Kijowa nie zamierzają opuszczać stolicy na okres zimowy. Ponadto, dziękuje Polakom za pomoc i wsparcie Ukrainy w obliczu rosyjskiej inwazji. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message

Media Hot and Cold (Duke UP, 2021) attunes the reader to temperature as a crucial but often overlooked terrain of control, communication and contestation. The book skilfully unpacks the complex technical operations of a vast array of heat-based communication technologies in parallel with a close analysis of the cultural and political resonances of these media, taking in early experiments in heat ray technologies, the development of the thermostat, undersea fibre optic cables and torture sweatboxes from the US plantation. Today's thermal media are framed as politically neutral and scientifically objective technologies of personalised comfort and climate mitigation. However, Starosielski pushes back against this reading, arguing that the manipulation of temperature as a means of coercion and domination has been integral to the construction, normalization and maintenance of unequal relations of power. The book is a timely and significant call for an unflinching analysis of the sociocultural function of temperature in a period of unprecedented thermal volatility.

Dr. Nicole Starosielski is the author of "The Undersea Network," a book on the undersea cable systems that carry almost all transoceanic internet traffic today.  She discusses the history of the network and how it was started and how it developed into what it is today.  Dr. Starosielski discusses the technology behind the network and why it is being used today.  She also dives deeper into other factors such as security, longevity and reliability of the network and its future.

Nicole Starosielski‘s new book brings an environmental and ecological consciousness to the study of digital media and digital systems, and it is a must-read. The Undersea Network (Duke University Press, 2015) looks carefully and imaginatively at the geography of undersea cable networks, paying special attention to the materiality of network infrastructure and its relationships with the histories of the Pacific. The book revises what we think we know about the infrastructure of global networks: they are not “wireless,” but wired; not rhizomatic and distributed, but semicentralized; not deterritorialized, but “territorially entrenched”; not resilient, but precarious and vulnerable; and not urban, but rural and aquatic. After providing a broad overview of three major eras of cable development – the copper cables of the 1850s-1950s, the coaxial cables of the 1950s-1980s, and the fiber-optic cables of the 1990s on, in each case focusing on the importance of security, insulation, and interconnection – Starosielski analyzes how cables have become embedded into existing natural and cultural environments in a number of specific sites in Hawai’i, California, New Zealand, British Columbia, Tahiti, Guam, Fiji, Yap, and beyond. Countering the rhetorical pull of terms like “flow” that tend to provoke an approach to media that is deterritorializing and dematerializing, Starosielski instead turns readers’ attention to the ecological dimension of media and the fixed, material investments grounding today’s communication networks. It is a brilliant book that deserves a wide readership. Don’t miss the website that is woven together with the book: www.surfacing.in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
