The recently resurfaced planet, I argue, can be traced back to fantasies like Richardson\u2019s. Contemporary planetary governance relies on a specific trajectory of planetary monitoring. Even though efforts to map and measure global space have a far longer history \u2013 not least as a primary vehicle<\/a> of Western colonialism and imperialism \u2013 the efforts to monitor<\/a> and govern<\/a> planetary dynamics have also relied on a particular history of knowing, seeing and measuring the planet. Thinking of the planet as an interconnected<\/a> system required quantified and centralised approaches as well as a wide set of scientific instruments and technologies. A specific kind of planet was able to emerge, not by itself, but through the interconnected histories of geopolitics, technology and grand visions of planetary monitoring.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
