 ild Tides: Media Infrastructure and Built Space in Post-Financial Crisis I
 reland.\n\nAbstract: Wild Tides: Media Infrastructure and Financial Crisis
  in Ireland articulates the ways in which the circulatory logics of contem
 porary capitalism are mapped within the Republic of Ireland through the sp
 atial lens of media industries and their infrastructures. Building upon cr
 itical geography\, media\, and cultural studies research on infrastructure
 \, financialization\, and logistics\, Wild Tides unpacks the shifting cult
 ural and economic policy logics in Ireland since the global financial cris
 is of 2007-2008. The effects of this crisis in the country revealed the ex
 tent to which Ireland’s political\, economic\, cultural\, and environmenta
 l futures were tethered to the turbulence of global financial markets and 
 trade through an over-dependence on foreign investment as a resource for e
 conomic development. In the aftermath of the crisis\, compelled towards au
 sterity and widespread privatization by the bailout conditions of internat
 ional monetary agencies\, this dependence intensified across many sectors 
 of the Irish economy\, especially the media and technology industries. The
  book unravels the dense cultural and political entanglements of this post
 -crisis environment across four chapters\, taking the reader through Irela
 nd’s unique history of economic liberalization and post-developmentalism a
 nd their resonance within contemporary media economies\; the role of the m
 edia and “creative industries” in the country’s spatial planning as a tool
  of economic recovery\; the expanded geographies of transnational media po
 licy and its labor implications\; and the role of the technology industrie
 s and their data infrastructures in Ireland’s spatial and environmental fu
 tures. Although these political and economic formations in Ireland appear 
 increasingly “natural\,” the book argues that more “wild” frictions that a
 rise at their point of implementation open apertures towards different way
 s of thinking about futures beyond the turbulence of global capital.\n\nBi
 ography: Patrick Brodie is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill Universi
 ty. He completed his PhD at Concordia University. His current research pro
 ject analyzes the cultural\, environmental\, and postcolonial geopolitics 
 of data and energy infrastructures across the border between the Republic 
 of Ireland and Northern Ireland. His work has appeared in Media\, Culture 
 and Society\, Culture Machine\, Environment and Planning E: Nature and Spa
 ce\, among other venues.\n\n- - -\n\nJamie Jelinski\n\n“How Differences in
  Medium Contributed to an Understanding of the Information”: Tattooing\, P
 rintmaking\, and Conceptual Art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Desi
 gn\, 1970-73\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis paper investigates how Halifax-based tat
 tooist Robert “Bob” MacLean became involved with several artistic pursuits
  at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design during the early 1970s. Situ
 ating MacLean’s collaborative efforts within broader changes the school co
 ncurrently experienced\, I analyze an exhibition of his drawings\, a print
  he produced at the institution’s Lithography Workshop\, and a conceptual 
 artwork spearheaded by famed contemporary artist Vito Acconci. In doing so
 \, I argue that MacLean bridged longstanding gaps between tattooing and vi
 sual art\, thus reframing how his work\, as a form of commercial visual cu
 lture\, was produced\, consumed\, and understood.\n\nBiography: Jamie Jeli
 nski is a Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture Postdoctoral F
 ellow\, having completed his PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University
  during 2019. His writing has been published in Urban History Review\, Jou
 rnal of Canadian Studies\, Études Inuit Studies\, and Visual Anthropology.
  He is currently finalizing a book on the history of commercial tattooing 
 in Canada that is under contract with McGill-Queen’s University Press and 
 beginning another that investigates the custodianship of “hidden images” b
 y Canadian institutions.\n
