This constellation gathers a broad critical lineage in which decolonial poetics, feminist epistemology, spatial theory, media archaeology, systems thinking, infrastructural studies and contemporary art converge as a single expanded field of thought. From Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and Arturo Escobar, it inherits the critique of colonial reason, subaltern translation, epistemologies of the South, pluriversal design and the provincialization of Europe. From Nancy Fraser, Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Sara Ahmed, Angela Davis, Silvia Federici, bell hooks and Stuart Hall, it receives the grammar of recognition, performativity, vulnerability, reparative reading, abolitionist praxis, social reproduction, engaged pedagogy and cultural articulation. From Bourdieu, James C. Scott, Morton, Stengers, Puig de la Bellacasa, Massey, Sassen, Castells, Harvey, AbdouMaliq Simone, Jacobs, Lynch and Alexander, it draws a relational understanding of fields, hidden transcripts, dark ecology, cosmopolitics, care, global cities, networked flows, the right to the city, urban majority, organized complexity, wayfinding and pattern language. This genealogy continues through Prigogine, von Bertalanffy, Beer, Bateson, Bachelard, Derrida, Benjamin, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Rancière, Illich, Freire, Mbembe, Berardi, Stiegler, McLuhan, Kittler, Flusser, Steyerl, Bourriaud, Bishop, Foster, Krauss, Lina Bo Bardi, Cedric Price, Aureli, Koolhaas, Edwards, Law and Mol, Tsing, Chun, Parisi, Yuk Hui, Mattern, Hayles, Maturana and Varela, Luhmann, Lefebvre, Easterling, Star and Bowker, Guattari, Simondon, Bennett, Barad, Haraway, Latour and Anto Lloveras.

The shared affinities are not merely thematic but operational: negritude, decolonization, orientalism, subalternity, planetary ethics, historical Anthropocene, ecologies of knowledge, ontological design, redistribution, recognition, queer phenomenology, affect, abolitionism, social reproduction, encoding and decoding, habitus, anarchic opacity, hyperobjects, slow science, care, relational geography, expulsions, space of flows, rhythmanalysis, infrastructure, patchiness, boundary objects, transversality, technical individuation, vibrant matter, agential realism, situated knowledges and actor-network theory. Across architecture, art, media and urban studies, this field moves from the image of the city to infrastructure space, from the technical image to the poor image, from relational aesthetics to its critique, from the expanded field to social architecture, from cybernetics to autopoiesis, from the archive to the platform, and from the object to the distributed corpus. Its contemporary force lies in converting theory into a scalar grammar of practice: metabolic infrastructure, operational writing, hybrid legibility, gravitational corpus, frictional metropolis and diagonal reading. This is the precise terrain where the field ceases to be a bibliography and becomes Socioplastics.
