The Social Life of Xg: Digital infrastructures and the reconfiguration of sovereignty and imagined communities

在疫情影响和复苏推动的数字基础设施扩张的背景下，我们汇集了来自欧盟和英国的酷儿女权主义技术科学，移民和文化研究，社会和政治理论的观点，以研究基础设施的附属机构如何（重新）配置民主主权，想象的社区和欧盟的边界实践。我们建议通过以下方式思考和调查主权：（a）通过技术创新构建和想象ethnos和demos的基础设施和企业家方式;（B）在创建新基础设施的努力与现有基础设施相遇时出现的冲突。我们要问，是否有可能在这里想象、实践和产生新的宪政？在围绕数字基础设施实施产生的冲突和挑战之后，我们将利用混合方法，包括参与性观察和实地记录，非正式对话记录和现场访谈，以及网络图，文件分析和专家访谈，与演员基金进行实地工作，概念化（即法律/学术/智囊团）并实施数字化转型（第1阶段）以及基础设施管理在日常谈判、重新配置和冲突中发挥作用的当地环境（第2阶段）。通过研究该研究的中心概念如何在与数字基础设施相关的社区中发展，该项目突出了这些基础设施和参与者在社区社区形成，主权重新配置，e 'thnos和demos中的作用。该项目通过整合跨学科方法，推进业务实践行为者之间的关键知识，并与非政府组织和关注新数字基础设施的社会文化影响的艺术项目合作进行创新。

In the context of an expansion of digital infrastructures driven by the impact and recovery of the pandemic, we bring together perspectives from queer feminist technoscience, migration and cultural studies, social and political theory, from the EU and the UK, in order to investigate how infrastructural imaginaries (re)configure democratic sovereignty, imagined communities, and practices of bordering of the European Union. We propose to think and investigate sovereignty through (a) infrastructural and entrepreneurial ways of constituting and imagining e'thnos and demos through technological innovations, and (b) conflicts that emerge where efforts to create new infrastructures meet existing ones. Is it possible, we ask, that new constitutionalities are being imagined, practiced, and produced here? Following conflicts and challenges arising around the implementation of digital infrastructures, we will draw on a mixed-method approach including participatory observations and field notes, minutes of informal conversations, and on-site interviews, as well as netnography, document analyses and expert interviews to conduct fieldwork with actors fund, conceptualize (i.e. legally/academic/think tanks) and implement digital transformation (phase 1) and local environments where infrastructural imaginaries play out in everyday negotiations, reconfigurations and conflicts (phase 2). By studying how the central concepts of the study develop in imaginaries tied to digital infrastructures, the project highlights the role of these infrastructures and actors in the formation of community imaginaries, reconfigurations of sovereignty, e'thnos and demos. The project innovates by integrating trans-disciplinary methods, advancing critical knowledge amongst actors of operational practices and by collaborating with NGOs and artistic projects concerned with the socio-cultural effects of new digital infrastructures.
