| Abstract | The world people live in is a postapocalyptic relic. Many of them are reluctant to acknowledge this tragic fact, refusing to accept that they live amidst a disaster site. In this chapter, the author contemplates the object to be repaired. The urban is broken in all dimensions and the way in which it became broken could tell us a story of what the urban is and what it could be. Urban is losing its form, urban interactions are increasingly discrete, and the embedded power relations are denied their history. Repairing a commodity essentially entails elements of its decommodification. In fact, it is a rare human activity that breaks the spell of commodification. Repair is different, though. It is not uncommon for people to know the name of their tailor or mechanic. These figures are not glorified as artists or engineers, but nonetheless have a name, unlike sweatshop workers. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Markus Berger and Kate Irvin; individual chapters, the contributors. |
