Discursive vehicles and the making of infrastructures: Learning from Delhi and Québec
本文提出“话语载体”概念，通过德里和魁北克案例，分析话语如何构建、重塑和瓦解基础设施，适合关注基础设施与话语关系的学者。
In the midst of a material turn that has been embraced by a number of disciplines and fields, and as we are witnessing an infrastructural moment in academic and operational circles alike, this article seeks to re-conceptualize the relationship between infrastructures and discourses. To carry out this agenda, we bring forward the notion of discursive vehicles, as a tool to explore how discourses can make, remake, and unmake infrastructures. Using two case studies from Delhi (India) and Québec (Canada), we outline how discourses can determine whether a given material artefact counts as infrastructure , as well as transform how it is defined and used. As a concept, discursive vehicles allow us to observe how multiple discourses are produced over infrastructures, and analyse how they clash, converge, or rearrange themselves. Overall, our aim is to strengthen how knowledge hegemonies transform infrastructures and the built environment more generally, via a meta-analysis of infrastructures.
