Michael Fish
Michael Fisch's research is situated at the intersection of
sociocultural anthropology and science and technology studies and is
concerned with shifting conceptualizations and practices around nature,
culture, and technology. He is the author of An Anthropology of the Machine: Tokyo’s Commuter Train Network (University of Chicago Press, 2018), in which he develops a
technography of collective life constituted in the interplay between
humans and machines within Tokyo’s commuter train network. His current
research explores the emergence of “experimental ecologies” in Japan,
Israel, and the United States as sites of speculative articulations of
ecological governance for an era of increasing climate crisis.
