		<description><![CDATA[Reports of a 10 day traffic jam in China bring into sharp relief questions around the infrastructures of global urbanisation. This jam started on the 14th August1 and may last until September. Indeed, the Wall Street Journal reports that drivers on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highway are &#8216;inching along little more than a third of a mile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find last week&#8217;s news that facebook has reached the milestone of 500 million subscribers interesting for several reasons. Firstly, the idea of the social network plays a role in reinforcing the idea of networking as the central motif through which contemporary life is understood. That is to say, it is common to draw upon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s Guardian carries video and comment regarding the demolition of a Bedouin village in the Negev region of Israel. Neve Gordon provocatively refers to the razing of this village as &#8216;ethnic cleansing&#8217;, arguing that it is evidence of the state of Israel&#8217;s desire to &#8216;Judaise&#8217; the Negev. The description of the demolition of residential structures [...]]]></description>
