    This article explores the interaction between materiality and ideality through the work of a translation software technology routinely used in Sikh diaspora communities. The software Sikhi-to-the-Max weaves together subjectivity, religion and linguistic formations making it indispensable for mediating a communicational ecosystem of diasporic life-worlds by enabling translation of a premodern scriptural language between different generations of Sikhs. Sikhi-to-the-Max juxtaposes premodern and modern language formations, in addition to mediating between sonic/affective experiences of music, scriptural text and commentary. Following Deleuze I argue for a new ‘'image' of translation pertinent to the ‘'religious' diasporic lifeworld, an ‘'image' inspired partly by the univocal model of language and world-making embedded in the operating logic of Sikh scripture (gurbani). By contextualizing the communicational models of Sikhi-to-the-Max within the cultural history of imperial translation, this new '‘image' of translation pushes us to think harder about how the material and the conceptual interact.

    The global energy transition is happening, but too slowly to limit climate change to acceptable levels, for diverse reasons. Carbon emissions policies and measures focus too little on absolute emission targets and too much on relative measures such as carbon intensity. Focus is needed on early emission reduction actions, while current efforts aim to for carbon neutrality at a distant date. High-profile listed companies disposing of high-carbon-emitting assets to unlisted organizations ('hand-me-down assets') is reducing transparency on emissions and emissionsreducing investments. Measuring emissions using satellite remote-sensing technologies can reduce reliance on self-reporting and should thus be a public good not subject to corporate confidentiality or other commercial restrictions. More integration of existing assets in decarbonization efforts is needed; the largest positive impact on climate and health now would come from having such assets emit less. More recognition is needed that measures suited to developed high-income countries/regions may not work as well in developing low- and middle-income countries. Cutting methane emissions is the most immediate way to slow the rate of global warming, even as progress is made on decarbonizing energy systems. Any reprieve over the next decade from reaching a global temperature rise-and potential tipping point-of 1.5 °C is vital while morechallenging policy commitments are implemented. Reducing wasteful natural gas flaring would be an immediate way to cut methane emissions. It requires urgent co-ordinated action by oil- and gasproducing countries, donors, multilateral development banks, and countries hosting satellite data companies, with the International Monetary Fund taking a leadership role through its surveillance and capacity development work. Tackling methane emissions is especially significant since it contributes to meeting other development priorities, such as generating government revenue (by penalties and gas sales), improving health (by reducing air pollution), and helping to deliver greater energy access (by using rather than wasting the gas).

    This paper argues that new computer, smartphone, and universal ID technologies are reducing the incentives for political clientelism in the delivery of social programmes in India, especially by allowing party leaders to bypass local brokers to credit-claim for better service delivery and allowing politicians to deliver programmatic service delivery much more efficiently than in the past, with fewer diversions. Politicians are responding to these changed incentives, not surprisingly, by investing more money in large social programmes, supporting technological efforts to improve their efficiency, and increasing campaign expenditures to advertise these improvements and link them to party leaders at the expense of local brokers who used to monopolize these local party- voter linkages.

    This short paper investigates the impact of social networking technologies on the making and remaking of culture within contemporary contexts. It is premised on the concept of narrative as a way in which individuals re-present and organize experience in order to learn from it and make it sharable with others within social contexts. Narrative is treated as more than cognitive, or a ‘mode of thought’ but also as constitutive of the social construction of knowledge by providing macro-structures which enable users of social software to participate meaningfully in the exchange of experiences and ideas. The growth of social networking technologies has been argued to have democratizing effects upon knowledge-building practices by allowing participants to personalize the ways ideas are expressed and communicated. Within micro-communities, participants have to assemble meaning and make a coherent whole out of the narratives they encounter. The organization of meaning is not pre-structured or pre-defined, but evolves and the contribution of narrative function and form to this process generates a range of key areas for research, including: the role of macro-narratives in achieving coherence for users of social software; the currency of such narratives beyond the communities they serve; how such currency relates to wider shifts in knowledge production and the importance of inter- and intra-narrative contact between users. The paper offers a theoretical and conceptual examination of narrative as a tool for meaning-making and knowledge-building, as well as some attendant research questions in the context of social networking technologies.
