Making Megaprojects : The Practices and Politics of Scale-Making

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The world is currently experiencing a surge of investment in, and development of, large-scale infrastructural building projects, frequently captured by the term 'megaprojects'. Distinguished by the bulk of their envisioned materiality, the volume of financial capital required to build them, and the complexity of technical, legal, administrative, and political tools needed to bring them into operation, megaprojects do not easily lend themselves to ethnographic inquiry. While in recent years, ethnographic attention to infrastructure has given rise to a burgeoning theoretical apparatus and a growing anthropological subfield in which the various aspects of megaprojects have been analysed, scale as a concept has remained under-theorised. Exploring scale-making ethnographically and unpacking the work that scale does for various actors and publics, the contributions collected in this issue make a theoretical contribution to the anthropology of infrastructure by showing how scale connects the everyday making and the spectacular politics of megaprojects.

Water Works : Megaprojects and Timescaling in Peru
- 2023
-
In: Ethnos. - : Routledge. - 0014-1844 .- 1469-588X.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Driven by an increasing industrial and urban demand for water and other economic and political interests, the Peruvian State has invested heavily in water infrastructures. One such infrastructure is the Majes Siguas Special Project in the Department of Arequipa. This megaproject was envisioned already in the early twentieth century to supply the coastland with irrigation water and thereby developing agriculture in this arid region. The first stage of the project was built in the 1970-80’s, but the second stage was not actualised until the 2000s and is still waiting to be built. Based on ethnography from fieldwork in the realm of the megaproject in 2016 and 2017, this article asks what happens when the materialisation of a megaproject is constantly deferred and explores how the promise it entails is sustained over time by analysing the social processes of temporal scale-making.

Smooth flows? : Hydrosocial communities, water governance and infrastructural discord in Peru's southern highlands
- 2020
-
In: Water international. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0250-8060 .- 1941-1707. ; 45:3, s. 169-188
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article examines how the design and governance of Peru’s water infrastructure shape the social practices and cultural values stakeholders engage in and draw on when negotiating water rights in a year of drought. Reviewing ethnographic data on a large irrigation project in south-western Peru, we discuss how the project both perpetuates power relations between water experts, authorities and users and creates room to challenge its hierarchical organization. The project’s infrastructural assemblage of state and community canals offers an interesting case to explore how the stakeholder cooperation encouraged by Peru’s water law produces hydrosocial communities.
