"Lauren Berlant's essay "The Commons: Infrastructures for Troubling Times" explores how infrastructures—such as roads, schools, and norms—shape our social experiences and responses during periods of crisis. Berlant defines infrastructure as "the living mediation of what organizes life," emphasizing its role in connecting individuals within a shared world. She introduces the concept of a "glitch" as an interruption that reveals infrastructural failures, prompting a reassessment of how these systems function. The essay encourages reimagining infrastructures beyond mere repair, considering how they might transform to better support communal life amid ongoing challenges."
