Cute and simple stuff has taken over my mind today

Artifacts and Politics

 Langdon Winner pointed out that technical things have political qualities in his notable essay, "Do Artifacts have Politics?".

Two ways in which technical artifacts can contain political properties are:

(1)"a technical device or system is used to settle a community issue", (2)"man-made systems requiring or compatible with certain types of political relations."

The most cited example in his essay is the height of overpasses on Long Island in NY. Robert Moses, who has a class-bias and racial prejudice, designed the overpasses discouraging the presence of buses on his parkways. Automobile owing whites of "upper" and "comfortable middle" classes would be free to use the parkways. The poor and racial minorities who normally used public transit were kept off the road because of the height of overpasses (Winner 1980). Without verbal signs and making laws, artifacts can perform human group formation and segregation.

In 2020, his statue and his design" became controversial in the growth of Black Lives Matter movement. Residents in Babylon have been advocating for the removal of a statue of Robert Moses and a petition started by Vanessa Cardino, Long Island now has over 12,600 signatures (Young 2020).

Camera Phones as Equalizer

American people use phones as weapons to defend themselves and document things in the BLM movement. Camera phones can be weapons like guns but in different ways. Philosopher Hanna Arendt once discussed that power is generated and maintained by communicative practices, on the other hand, violence is instrumental as a physical force. A camera phone, a phone that is equipped with came, as weapons are more related to Arendt’s definition of “power” even though it is an instrument.

Umbrellas and citizenhood: Hong Kong “Umbrellas Movement” and BLack Lives Matter movement in Seattle.

In 2014, Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrators demanded the right for the territory to pick its leaders. Hong Kong, which had been a part of the former British Empire until 1977, had some independence from China. This has been called “one country, two systems.” When China government decided to limit pre-approved candidates in elections, the protest started and demanded the right to fully free leadership elections. Police officers used tear gas and batons against pro-democracy demonstrators.
