27.01.15 - Scapegoat journal, 07: Incarceration, now available
The newest edition of Scapegoat Journal, titled Incarceration, is now available for purchase. The eighth edition of the journal investigates incarceration from an abolitionist perspective. Among the contributors are Daniels alumni Will Orr (MArch 2012) and Tings Chak (MArch 2014).
From the Scapegoat website:
As a mytheme, the figure of the scapegoat carries the burden of the city and its sins. Walking in exile, the scapegoat was once freed from the constraints of civilization. Today, with no land left unmapped, and with processes of urbanization central to political economic struggles, SCAPEGOAT is exiled within the reality of global capital. The journal examines the relationship between capitalism and the built environment, confronting the coercive and violent organization of space, the exploitation of labour and resources, and the unequal distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Throughout our investigation of design and its promises, we return to the politics of making as a politics to be constructed.
In 2010, Scapegoat was launched as a bi-annual journal designed to investigate the relationship between capitalism and the built environment, confronting the coercive and violent organization of space, the exploitation of labour and resources, and the unequal distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Since then it has had book launches at the Canadian Centre for Architecture and the Power Plant, and it has been featured in the exhibition ARCHIZINES held at the Architectural Association.
