[Air-L] New special issue: Environmental materialities of digital tech

[Loup Cellard]

Hi there!

I am glad to share a new special issue about the environmental and material
implications of digital technologies.

Among different articles in French, there is two ethnographies in English
that are worth reading:

Cyrus Khalatbari, « Struggles and Resilience in GPU miniaturisation. From
Taipei’s Overclockers to Accra’s Urban Miners
<https://journals.openedition.org/reset/6133> », RESET, 2025.

Hugo Estecahandy, « Computing Bitcoin on Soviet Legacies. Material
Geopolitics of Cryptocurrency Mining in Global East
<https://journals.openedition.org/reset/5951>», RESET, 2025.

The whole issue can be found here:
https://journals.openedition.org/reset/5909

The translation of the introduction in English will come in September.

We regret the absence of female contributors in this issue, which does not
reflect the proposals initially submitted to the journal, nor the richness
of female contributions on the topic. This omission raises the question of
how to evaluate articles while reconciling parity, double-blind evaluation
procedures and suitability for the objectives of a special issue.

Best,

Loup
