Can someone suggest me some works addressed to the study of infrastrtuctures (as technical, socio-technical, socio-politica, all "meanings are welcome) from sociology pov? Im searching more "general" works (any type of pubblication), but in particular would be appreciated (if it exists) a more "short" and summarising work, something like Brian Larkin paper about anthropology and infrastructure (Brian Larkin (2013), The Politics and Poetics of Infrastructure, Annual Review of Anthropology 2013.42:327-34).
Are these of relevance?:
Furlong, K. (2010). Small technologies, big change: Rethinking infrastructure through STS and geography. Progress in Human Geography, 35(4), 460-482.

You may check these two articles. However you will not find the keyword of infrastructure in the title of the papers but you the subject of both publications are concerning about long-term sustainable infrastructure and its effects to our environment and society. Hope you can find them helpful. Alessio Di Marco
