- Code and the Transduction of Space (2005, methodology): “[M]ore and more . . . the spaces of everyday life come loaded up with software (Thrift and French 2002, 309).”
- From born to made: technology, biology and space (2005, background): “Elsewhere, I have pointed to the effects of the population of the world with software coupled with general increases in computing power (Thrift and French 2002).”
- Cyborg Urbanization: Complexity and Monstrosity in the Contemporary City (2005, background): “…however, the trope of technological monsters has tended to divide between a Haraway-Latour axis of new affinities towards excluded others on the one 10 See, for example, Thrift (1999; 2000a; 2004), Amin and Thrift (2002), Doel and Hubbard (2002), Thrift and French (2002) and Smith (2003a; 2003b).”
- Programming Environments: Environmentality and Citizen Sensing in the Smart City (2014, background): “…the intersection of computation and space, making the point that computing—often in the form of software or code—has a considerable influence on the ways in which spatial processes unfold or even cease to function when software fails (Graham, 2005; Kitchin and Dodge, 2011; Thrift and French, 2002).”
- Blended Learning: The Perceptions of First-year Geography Students (2010, background): “Interestingly 19 per cent of students in 2006 left this answer blank, which may have resonance with Thrift and French’s (2002) concept of the technological unconscious and the taken-for-granted nature of many ICTs.”
- Software-sorted geographies (2005, background): “However one describes them, code-based technologized environments continuously and invisibly classify, standardize, and demarcate rights, privileges, inclusions, exclusions, and mobilities and normative social judgements across vast, distanciated, domains (Bowker and LeighStar, 1999; Thrift and Fren”
- Computer Algorithms, Market Manipulation and the Institutionalization of High Frequency Trading (2016, background): “Thus, computer code is seen as performative, in that it creates specific types of social (but not necessarily human) beings (Introna, 2011; Mackenzie and Vurdubakis, 2011) or as governmental (Thrift and French, 2002), because it shapes human conduct.”
- Transactions After 9/11: The Banal Face of the Preemptive Strike (2008, background): “It is important to emphasise here that we are not arguing that the use of transactions data after 9/11 is unique or unprecedented – there is ample historical evidence of risk profiling via data prior to 9/11 (Haggerty and Ericson 2000; Andreas and Snyder 2000; Thrift and French 2002; Graham 2005).”
- ‘Everyone's cuddled up and it just looks really nice’: an emotional geography of some mums and their family photos (2004, background): “…is that many of the spatial practices that constitute OCD (as with other kinds of material practice) are neither purely functional nor especially symbolic: they are first and foremost affective, rather than instrumental or meaningful (Doel and Segrott 2003b; Thrift 2002; Thrift and French 2002).”
