Recently, infrastructure has become an important discourse in academic and policy discussions. This chapter situates this sudden emergence and popularity of “infrastructure” as an object of study and outlines a history of infrastructural research in anthropology and media studies to examine how discourses of “infrastructure” and the broader concepts of the Anthropocene and the Technosphere intersect; aiding and abetting one another. Arguably, infrastructural study calls attention to the geological and material underpinnings of contemporary digital systems, thus offering opportunities to interrogate the histories of race, capital, and colonialism that inhere within contemporary media. However, infrastructural discourses can also support broader techno-deterministic and technocratic discourses of engineering, foreclosing alternative imaginaries about the constitution of agency, politics, and life. Engaging Sylvia Wynters, and a range of contemporary theorists, this chapter ends by asking what a future study of infrastructure might become? One that is grounded in thinking of the human and planetary as a praxis, opening us to the possibility of using infrastructural thinking as a new way to imagine the future of human and more than human relationships to each other and to the environment.
