the spinning jenny was invented in England precisely because wages were high, and thus it was worth it to mill-owners to invest in a machine that would allow them to reduce the number of workers needed to make yarn.

Race and/as Technology; or, How to Do Things to Race

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun in Camera Obscura issue on:

This special issue poses the questions: to what degree are race and technology intertwined? Can race be considered a technology or a form of media—that is, not only a mechanism, but also a practical or industrial art? Could race be not simply an object of representation and portrayal, of knowledge or truth, but also a technique that one uses, even as one is used by it—a carefully crafted, historically inflected system of tools, mediation, or enframing that builds history and identity?
