Results of the HRZZ DEVELOPER project published

Jun 20, 2025 | CULTMED, DEVELOPER, News

Paško Bilić, principal investigator of the project Digital Data, Infrastructures, and Development (DEVELOPER), has published an article titled “Infrastructure as a Sociological Phenomenon: Ontological and Developmental Dimensions” in the journal Sociologija i prostor (Scopus). The article addresses the concept of infrastructure, which, although intuitively understood, remains theoretically underdeveloped in sociology. The author emphasises that infrastructure is a fundamental precondition for social, political, and economic processes, whose significance is most often recognised only when disruptions occur. The aim of the article is to offer theoretical guidelines for a sociological analysis of infrastructure and to connect structure and agency. Particular emphasis is placed on the ontological significance of infrastructure and its political-economic dimension. The article provides a metatheoretical framework for understanding infrastructural practices and the powers that shape their availability and functionality. It is available (in Croatian) in open access at the following link:
