Investigative Aesthetics. Conflicts and Commons in the Politics of Truth

Fraser Simons

A compelling case that is well thought out, meticulously crafted, but oddly less accessible than you’d expect this sort of a dissemination of group reworking of terms in current use would be. It definitely seems written academically and could use an additional editorial polish, as it could easily be truncated at a sentence-by-sentence level. 

But I did come out agreeing fairly wholeheartedly with the reworking and definition of the terms and what kind of ‘work’ it implies to, and why the update is necessary when we are constantly operating and relating to both terms differently. With a huge emphasis on aesthetics. The investigation section felt like it was merely reiterating a lot of already common use applications. But it makes sense to further codify the term as pertaining, especially, to counter-investigations.
