I will be giving a talk at the 2018-2019 ASCA Cities Seminar 'Repairing Infrastructures', where I will speak about the temporal registers of existing and projected (mega)infrastructure in Morocco, and explore some of the affective and political associations these registers give rise to, both at the level of official discourse and among ordinary Moroccans.

Taking into account recent mass protests framed increasingly in terms of the differentiated access to (decaying) infrastructure and development in the country, I will specifically build on the case of the Casablanca – Tangiers high-speed rail corridor (Africa’s first) slated for inauguration next year.
