Media are agencies of civilizational and environmental order. This article goes in another direction by thinking about media as (1) environing and (2) residual. For much of its history, the field of media studies has been biased toward questions of (1) ideological or attitudinal influence caused by (2) modern or emergent technologies. The Aztec empire was as dependent on media forms as the Spanish colonizers who replaced it, and there are numerous cases of knowledges and practices surviving in hybrid forms, for example as part of maps. In addition, the article discusses examples of indigenous media, an area that has so far received very little attention. To do this, it stakes out a theoretical development consisting in a shift in understanding from media as content-delivery systems to data processors, combining it with a processual understanding of environment as an ongoing and historical process of environing. This article develops the new concept of environing media against the case of Mexico’s complex history over the past five centuries. Black Romantic poets repeatedly expressed anxieties about apostrophe’s racialized ambitions, though the history and theory of American poetics have both been premised on an ignorance of that expression. But many Black poets in the US in the nineteenth century came to recognize that the lyricizing ambition of the apostrophic address that would come to be identified with Romantic and modern lyric threatened to make lyric poetry’s addressees universally White. Kings still claim they’re in Berwyn but I think they just live there, they don’t gang bang there, same thing in Cicero.Do poems speak to you? Consider poems in which you encounter the signature version of excited Romantic poetic address that begins with a single letter adorned with its own exclamation mark: “O!” Don’t you imagine that someone is saying (or shouting or whispering or gasping) “O!”? Does it matter that you don’t know who that person might be? Don’t you feel moved to respond, if only silently? Don’t you want to imagine that overseeing or overhearing that address brings you into its range, thus making you feel as if you were joining a collective of such responsive silences? Nineteenth-century American poets often hoped you would feel this way, and most modern versions of poetics still do. I remember a decade ago Cicero and Berwyn were busting heavy with gang action. Cicero and Berwyn PD have also done a great job in killing the gang culture over there. I haven’t heard of any gangs being posted around there anymore. Archer Heights and west of Cicero on the SW side has definitely quiet down since a decade ago. I don’t think gangs are going to die around those three south side neighborhoods anytime soon it’s super hot over there. Back of the Yards, Gage Park, and Brighton Park are still heavy with the same gangs as before. I havent heard any action from Ambrose in Pilsen in years almost a decade. Pilsen is still heavy with Satan Disciples, Raza, and Counts, but mainly west of Ashland now. Little Village is still heavy with the bigger gangs like Kings, Satan Disciples, and Two Six. Latin Kings and Spanish GDs are still heavy in Rogers Park. Pachucos, Eagles, MLDs, Spanish 4chs and Imperial Gangstas are still heavy in hermosa park and belmont cragin. Humboldt Park still has Kings, MLDs, and Cobras.

OAz and YLO Cobras are still heavy in Logan Square by Koz Park, MLDs are too, word on the street is MLDz and Cobras/ OAz are at war right now that's why shootings have been happening these past weeks. Latin Kings are still heavy in Albany Park, so are Cobras, and Familia Stones. They're not following the same trend as black gangs. However, what's impressive is that Latino gangs still have that hierarchy like decades ago. This is heavily true in the South and South east side, the west side still has pockets of areas where gangs are still organized like the 4ch, VL, and GDs.

There's many sets that claim GD and BD but it's so hard to keep track of each set cause new ones pop up every day. Black gangs aren't really organized in a specific gang with leadership anymore.
