Denise Helene Sumi"How a network of relationships are allowing us to survive" This is a 25-minute talk by historian Dipesh Chakrabarty in which he explains why technology today needs to be thought of in terms of survival and participation (in effect, he is talking about convivial technology), and why living well with technology on Earth must first and foremost involve protecting the critical zone (from soil to air) that makes life (human and otherwise), and thus all technology, possible. In the face of a crisis of civilisation, Chakrabarty argues that it is important to rethink technologies by understanding the impact of the general on the local. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU4d-r-zqs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU4d-r-zqs</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/conviviality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conviviality</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/commons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commons</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/criticalzone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#criticalzone</a>
