gavionHi, I am quite new here. Not using soc-med actively for long time but thought this might be nice.
Recently busy with small personal projects, exploring the world of coding. Studying sound design. Immersed in the medium of sound. Fan of alternatives to big tech corp. Mostly it’s art and world around us that I like to explore.
Will be happy to share some work of my own here but also everyday observations.
I enjoy critical thinking.

Soma Basu#OpenAccess: This research traces how the network of ordinary municipal drains (nullahs) in Northeast Delhi became a “trauma trove” in the aftermath of the 2020 #DelhiPogrom in #India. Drawing on 3 years of #SensoryEthnography, it conceptualizes the nullah as a "trauma trove" of residual violence, showing how #rumor and speculation generate a plausibility (and possibility) of violence in the future.
