Sarai Reader 06: Turbulence
(Edited with Ravi Sundaram, Awadhendra Sharan and Geert Lovink)

If there was ever to be a 'weather report' for our times, an audit of the climate in which we have grown accustomed to live, it would use the word 'turbulence' often. Turbulence is a practice for and of a time that has no name. This book, embodying that practice, is an eclectic index of an uncertain age.The Sarai Reader 6 uses 'Turbulence' as a conceptual vantage point to interrogate all that is in the throes of terminal crisis, and to invoke all that is as yet unborn. It seeks to examine 'turbulence' as a global phenomenon, unbounded by the arbitrary lines that denote national and state boundaries in a 'political' map of the world.
The Sarai Reader 06 is one of the participating publications of the Documenta 12 Magazines Project.
