  • Creating a collaborative autoethnography to navigate our global South/North assembled scholarly subjectivities

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Liezl Dick•ARTICLE•Globalisation Societies and…•2026

    This article is a collaborative autoethnography of a global South/North partnership between two academics over a period of ten years. We utilise the notion of assembled subjectivity to interrogate our scholarly becomings through experiences of South/North partnerships. Through Arts-Based Research, we create an autoethnographic narrative with the aim of reflecting on power dynamics and tensions we have experienced in various South/North collaborat…

  • Past Carbon Emissions and Future Targets for the Olympic Games

    Open Access•David Gogishvili, Marguerite Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2026

    The global visibility, and political weight of the Olympic Games can inspire climate change action. Yet, at the same time, the Olympics are also significant carbon emitters, potentially undermining their credibility as sustainability leaders. To date, however, there is a lack of a systematic assessment of past carbon emissions and extrapolation of future targets considering international agreements. Our analysis shows Olympics‐related carbon emis…

  • A Guide for Preparing and Reporting Qualitative Research

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Carolin Schurr et al.•ARTICLE•The Professional Geographer•2025

    The preparation and reporting of qualitative research require transparent values and consistent procedures to produce well-crafted, credible results. Such transparent reporting is especially important in the context of epistemic pluralism, as it aids in explicating theoretical commitments and their methodological implications. To this end, this article develops a guide—called the Q-Guide—comprising fifteen dimensions for preparing and reporting q…

  • Culture goes East

    Open Access•David Gogishvili, Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 58

    Culture has become a major component of policies to put cities on the global map. This article traces the shifting geographies of urban cultural capital using the lens of major cultural buildings, such as the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which cities often mobilise to compete for attention, reputation, tourists and investment. Based on a custom-built database containing 438 major cultural buildings opened worldwide between 1…

    Purpose This paper aims to propose and evaluate an innovative approach to education for sustainable consumption (ESC) which empowers teenagers and young adults to improve sustainable consumption competences. This approach combines pedagogical learning approaches such as real-world learning (e.g. experiential learning and research-based learning) with transformative and transdisciplinary research approaches (i.e. real-world laboratory research). D…

  • Have the Olympics outgrown cities? A longitudinal comparative analysis of the growth and planning of the Olympics and former host cities

    Open Access•Gabriel Silvestre, David Gogishvili et al.•ARTICLE•Planning Perspectives•2024

    This paper examines the growth of the Olympic Games against that of former host cities to understand whether this mega-event may have 'outgrown' its hosts.The increasing hosting requirements and governments' expansive use of mega-events as tools for urban development would suggest that the 'Olympic city'a term we use for describing the size of the Olympics as hosted in different cities over the decadeshas grown at a faster rate than former host c…

  • Self-creation Without Natural Limits? On a Certain Blindness in Richard Rorty’s Anti-authoritarian Pragmatism

    Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Human Affairs•2024•References: 22

    This article argues that Richard Rorty’s philosophy has a blind spot regarding our relationship with nature. It examines his distinct version of pragmatism to find ways to address this shortcoming. Rorty’s antirepresentational “pragmatism as anti-authoritarianism” and its anthropocentric character are discussed. His linguistic instrumentalism is problematized since it entails an unapologetic Baconian view of knowledge as power and nature as a man…

  • Peak event

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Tourism Management•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 26

    This paper tracks the growth of two of the largest tourist events: the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup, drawing on a dataset containing all events between 1964 and 2018. Overall, the size of the three events has grown about 60-fold over the past 50 years, thirteen times faster than world GDP. We identify an S-shaped growth curve and four different growth periods, with an emergent crisis phase in the late 2010s that may have brought us to…

  • How explicit expected value information affects tax compliance decisions and information acquisition

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Psychology•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 59

    In a MouselabWEB experiment with 345 participants, we investigated whether different presentations of expected value information in tax compliance decisions increase conformity with classical deterrence models’ assumptions. Recording both choice and process data, we compare conditions of verbal explanation only, verbal explanation plus numerical cue, verbal explanation plus visual cue, and a control condition without expected value information. O…

  • Covid-19 Pandemic in Schools

    Open Access•Amanda Ndabankulu, Marguerite Müller et al.•ARTICLE•E-Journal of Humanities Arts and…•2022

    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, schools in South Africa would have lost a considerable percentage of the annual school curriculum by the end of the lockdown. The Department of Basic Education had to work out plans for curriculum recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed plan was to gradual reopening schools using the “Phasing in Approach”. This study explored the Self-Efficacy of beginner teachers in Qwaqwa schools during the COV…

  • The Utility of an Online Forward Triage Tool During the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic

    Open Access•Janet Michel, Tim S Kilb et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2022

    Introduction: The SARS CoV-2 pandemic poses major challenges not only to patients but also to health care professionals and policy-makers, with rapidly changing, sometimes complex, recommendations, and guidelines to the population. Online forward triage tools (OFTT) got a major boost from the pandemic as they helped with the implementation and monitoring of recommendations. Methods: A multiphase mixed method sequential explanatory study design wa…

  • Information processing in tax decisions

    Open Access•Christoph Kogler, Jerome Olsen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Behavioral Decision…•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 8

    The highly influential Allingham and Sandmo model of income tax evasion assumes that taxpayers are driven by utility maximization, choosing evasion over compliance if it yields a higher expected profit. We test the main assumptions of this so‐called deterrence approach considering both compliance decisions and the process of information acquisition using MouselabWEB. In an incentivized experiment, 109 participants made 24 compliance decisions wit…

  • The mega-events database

    Marguerite Müller, D Wolfe et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 33

    Although events such as the Olympic Games and World’s Fairs are among the largest of mega-projects, there is little systematic data to evaluate their outcomes over a longer period of time and across multiple sites. This research note describes the first longitudinal database on mega-event outcomes. It lays out the rationale and major goals of the database, its methodological approach and content, and its challenges and limitations. The database a…

    This article presents a diffractive arts-based narrative that results from a re-turn of our work with subjectivity and memory in relation to our involvement with teaching social justice and diversity in education. Through intra-action, we explore the entanglement of subjectivity and memory in working towards different possibilities for more response-active social justice curricula and pedagogy. The concept of nested-time informs our diffractive n…

  • The structural deficit of the Olympics and the World Cup

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, David Gogishvili et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2022•Cited by: 5•References: 30

    The Olympic Games and the Football World Cups are among the most expensive projects in the world. While available theoretical explanations suggest that the revenues of mega-events are overestimated and the costs underestimated, there is no comprehensive empirical study on whether costs exceed revenues. Based on a custom-built database from public sources, this article compares the revenues and costs of the Olympic Games and World Cups between 196…

  • Global Theory Does Not Believe in Tears

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Praktyka Teoretyczna•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    This text is Martin Müller’s response to the comments on his article “In Search of the Global East” by Adam Leszczyński, Jan Sowa, Magda Szcześniak, and Tomasz Zarycki. The author defends in it the perspective of the Global East, advocating for three ways to further intervene in the geopoli-tics of knowledge: revising existing concepts and theories (instead of emulating them), conducting comparative rese-arch beyond the Global East, and extending…

  • The East is a Delicate Matter

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Sotsiologicheskoe Obozrenie /…•2021•References: 14

    This article is Martin Müller’s response to essays and remarks that critically examined the Russian translation of his article “In Search of the Global East: Thinking between North and South” (Russian Sociological Review. Vol. 19. No 3). The material for the analysis were texts published in the thematic block “The Global East: The Politics of Naming and Knowledge Production” (found in the same issue). The article analyzes these texts according to…

  • Worlding geography

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2021•Cited by: 57•References: 44

    Geography studies the world. Our knowledge of the world, however, comes mostly from Anglophone sources. This makes Geography in urgent need of worlding – of including multiple voices and languages from around the world. Introducing the notion of linguistic privilege, the article establishes language as an important dimension of epistemic struggle, alongside gender, race, class and others. Its analysis finds the greatest linguistic privilege in th…

  • Who Makes Geographical Knowledge? The Gender of Geography’s Gatekeepers

    Open Access•C Schurr, Marguerite Müller et al.•ARTICLE•The Professional Geographer•2020

    Building on the insight that all knowledge is situated and embodied, we analyze the gender of gatekeepers in the production of geographical knowledge in the current Anglophone publication landscape. Our results show that the share of women gatekeepers throughout the three selected sites—handbooks, progress reports, as well as editors and editorial boards of twenty-two geography journals—is consistently between 36 and 42 percent. These averages, h…

  • In Search of the Global East

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Sotsiologicheskoe Obozrenie /…•2020

    Carving up the world into Global North and Global South has become an established way of thinking about global difference since the end of the Cold War. This binary, however, erases what this paper calls the Global East — those countries and societies that occupy an interstitial position between North and South.

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Anna Piekarska•ARTICLE•Praktyka Teoretyczna•2020•References: 30

    Od zakończenia zimnej wojny dzielenie świata na Globalną Północ i Globalne Południe stało się ogólnie przyjętym sposobem myślenia o globalnej różnicy. Ta opozycja binarna wymazuje jednak istnienie tego, co nazywam Globalnym Wschodem – krajów i społeczeństw, które zajmują pozycję pośrednią, pomiędzy Północą a Południem. Niniejszy artykuł problematyzuje geopolitykę wiedzy powstałą wskutek wykluczenia Globalnego Wschodu, nie tylko z Globalnej Północ…

  • Assemblages and Actor-networks

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Geography Compass•2015•Cited by: 294•References: 88

    Assemblage thinking and actor-network theory (ANT) have been at the forefront of a paradigm shift that sees space and agency as the result of associating humans and non-humans to form precarious wholes. This shift offers ways of rethinking the relations between power, politics and space from a more processual, socio-material perspective. After sketching and comparing the concepts of the assemblage and the actor-network, this paper reviews the cur…

  • Assemblage thinking and actor-network theory

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, C Schurr•ARTICLE•Transactions of the Institute of…•2016•Cited by: 177•References: 43

    This paper shows that assemblage thinking and actor-network theory (ANT) have much more to gain from each other than debate has so far conceded. Exploring the conjunctions and disjunctions between the two approaches, it proposes three cross-fertilisations that have implications for understanding three key processes in our socio-material world: stabilisation, change and affect. First, the conceptual vocabulary of ANT can enrich assemblage thinking…

  • Reconsidering the concept of discourse for the field of critical geopolitics

  • Goodbye, Postsocialism

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Europe Asia Studies•2019•Cited by: 71•References: 21

    This article assesses the trajectory of postsocialism as a concept and mounts a fivefold critique of postsocialism as: referring to a vanishing object; emphasising rupture over continuity; falling into a territorial trap; issuing from orientalising knowledge construction; and constraining political futures. This critique serves to sketch the contours of an alternative project that still recognises difference but foregrounds links and continuities…

  • What makes an event a mega-event? Definitions and sizes

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2015•Cited by: 44•References: 44

    There is considerable ambiguity about what makes an event a mega-event. Intervening in this debate, this paper develops a definition and classification scheme for mega-events. On the basis of a review of existing definitions, it proposes four constitutive dimensions of mega-events: visitor attractiveness, mediated reach, costs and transformative impact. The paper develops indicators for each dimension and maps onto these four dimensions a sample …

    Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2015•Cited by: 25•References: 7

    This paper develops the notion of “event seizure” to better understand how mega-events, and the elites associated with them, take possession of host cities and societies—of development plans, funds and legislation—and impose their priorities on cities and citizens. It illustrates how event seizure plays out in the preparations for the Football World Cup 2018 in Russia, which is on course to become the most expensive World Cup ever with a total co…

  • Comparing the Urban Impacts of the Fifa World Cup and Olympic Games From 2010 to 2016

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, C Gaffney•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2018•Cited by: 23•References: 7

    At a cost of often more than US$10 billion, mega-events such as the Olympic Games and the FIFA Men's World Cup are the single most transformative urban project in many host cities for decades. This article develops an analytical matrix for comparing the impacts of these events on cities and proposes a case survey method to apply this matrix to six recent sports mega-events: the Olympic Games in Vancouver, London, Sochi, and Rio de Janeiro and the…

  • (Im-)Mobile policies

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•European Urban and Regional Studies•2014•Cited by: 22•References: 23

    This paper proposes a tripartite framework of transportation, transformation and translation to conceptualise the circulation, mutation and impacts of mobile policies as translocal, socio-material networks. Drawing on material from semi-structured interviews, participant observation and documents it considers the value of this framework by examining the mobility of the sustainability agenda of the Winter Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

  • The Global Easts in global urbanism

    Marguerite Müller, Elena Trubina•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2020•Cited by: 21•References: 17

    Global urbanism tends to think cities in categories of “Global North” and “Global South”. But what about all those cities that escape easy classification into these hemispheric categories? Cities that could be said to belong to the Global Easts. This introduction to the special issue “The Global Easts in Global Urbanism: views from beyond North and South” shines a spotlight on cities in-between North and South. At the risk of being sidelined in d…

    This paper examines the preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, and links it to debates on state rescaling and urban entrepreneurialism in megaprojects. It is argued that the Olympic megaproject in Sochi follows a model of state dirigisme which accords a salient role to the national state. Although private sector companies act as investors, the national state steers the planning process and directs the investment. This arr…

  • A half-hearted romance? A diagnosis and agenda for the relationship between economic geography and actor-network theory (ANT)

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2014•Cited by: 19•References: 42

    This paper examines the relationship of actor-network theory (ANT) and economic geography, arguing that there has been a rather restrictive, sometimes ambiguous reading of ANT literature. It reviews three major lines of reception in economic geography around the themes of topological space, translation and performativity. Subsequently, the paper problematizes conflicting interpretations of 'network' and 'power' as central ANT terms. In an attempt…

  • A part of the world or apart from the world? The postsocialist Global East in the geopolitics of knowledge

    Elena Trubina, David Gogishvili et al.•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2020•Cited by: 17•References: 37

    This paper shows how academics from the postsocialist countries of the Global East are increasingly claiming a voice in the publishing space of international geography journals. Based on a longitudinal database of editors, board members and authors of 22 leading English-language geography journals since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it demonstrates how the number of authors from postsocialist countries, notably from the new EU member …

  • Improvising urban spaces, inhabiting the in-between

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Elena Trubina•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning D…•2020•Cited by: 14•References: 47

    This paper discusses improvisation as a liminal practice of inhabiting the in-between that marks urban spaces from squats and brownfields to communal gardens, from infrastructural maintenance and urban living labs to political protest and solidarity in times of crisis. It shows how improvisation emerges in the interstices between uncertain flux and ossified rigidities to construct in-between spaces of ambiguous political openings even in ostensib…

  • What's in a word? Problematizing translation between languages

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Area•2007•Cited by: 14•References: 33

    An increasing number of geographers conduct research in foreign languages. Since the representation of research still largely takes place in English, we are inevitably confronted with the challenge of translation. All too often, however, translation is treated as a fait accompli and conceptual black box without problematizing the very act of translation as both political and highly subjective. In this paper I argue that critical translation must …

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Eurasian Geography and Economics•2014•Cited by: 13•References: 23

    This paper assesses the outcomes of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, examining the costs and economic impacts of the event, the prospects for the long-term use of venues and infrastructure, and the attitudes of the global and the Russian population. Total costs were $55 billion, having increased 4.5 times from $12 billion at the time of the bid. Of this total, about $16 billion were sports-related costs. After accounting for inflat…

  • Approaching paradox

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Tourism Management•2017•Cited by: 12•References: 30

    This paper examines the role of paradoxes in research and proposes strategies of engaging with them. For this purpose, it analyses the ways in which six paradoxes are constitutive of sports mega-events such as the Olympic Games: the universalism paradox, the compliance paradox, the winner's paradox, the participation paradox, the uniqueness paradox and the passion paradox. It then develops three strategies of how researchers and practitioners can…

In a plea for more engagement with the power and effects of education, this paper analyzes the interplay of discipline and knowledge in the formation of geopolitical subjects. To this end, it employs material from ethnographic research at the Moscow State Institute of International Relat…

  • The Topological Multiplicities of Power

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Economic Geography•2014•Cited by: 8•References: 49

    This article proposes that economic geography would benefit from a closer consideration of the topological multiplicities of power, that is, the multiple contending configurations of networks that make power a precarious accomplishment through creating constant overflows. It develops this argument by tracing how the circulation of knowledge in the preparation for theOlympicGames establishes sociomaterial networks that are meant to allow theIntern…

    Exhibiting a highly divisive agenda postmodernism has created profound chasms across scientific communities. In development studies its radical impetus has translated into the postdevelopment perspective which violently repudiates the modernist development project. This paper crystallises two distinct discourses of working upon the epistemological raw material of postmodernism: an exclusivist discourse, which reinforces the chasm by isolating pos…

    The majority of studies on identity in the discipline of International Relations have analysed identities from an analytical perspective of distance; they elide the fact that identities are situated productions which unfold in specific contexts and through different forms of signification. In this article, I seek to work towards greater attentiveness to the situatedness of identities. I propose a reconsideration of the concept of discourse for si…

    When critical geopolitics entered German political geography, its empirical verve helped crank up a discipline which had diminished into an academic backwater. Soon, however, conceptual doubts began to supersede the initial enthusiasm with which critical geopolitics had been welcomed into political geography. Critical voices in German geography highlight the conceptual heterogeneity of critical geopolitics which engenders clashes between differen…

    This paper argues that nationalism and neoliberalism should not be considered as conflicting ideologies, but can enter into a productive association. This association creates an entrepreneurial nationalism that people can actively embrace as self-governing subjects in pursuit of a good life and successful career, rather than as subjects governed through state-mandated projects from above. The paper illustrates this argument with material from nin…

To this end, it employs material from ethnographic research at the Moscow State Institute of International Relat…

  • Lack and jouissance in hegemonic discourse of identification with the state

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Organization•2013

    This article shows how hegemonic discourses are sustained through the play of lack and jouissance. Lack refers to the symbolic limits of discourse and is both the condition of possibility and of impossibility of hegemony: while it vitiates the realization of a full identity, it at the same time keeps spurring the search for it. Jouissance describes the paradoxical satisfaction in dissatisfaction that subjects procure from this lack, from the fail…

  • Mittendrin statt nur dabei

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Geographica Helvetica•2013

    Interest in the lived mundane practices and embodied experience of subjects has seen a tremendous upsurge in human geography in the past years. With its focus on social interaction and concern with subjects' lifeworlds, ethnography suggests itself as a suitable methodological approach to match this interest. Against the lack of a sustained debate in German-speaking human geography, this special issue seeks to illustrate the potential of ethnograp…

    Marguerite Müller•ARTICLE•Indonesia and the Malay World•2014

    This article examines the ways in which the notion of Malayness was conceptualised, articulated, and debated in a set of foundational British discourses on this topic during the first two decades of the nineteenth century. Using T.R. Trautmann's concept of locational techniques and D. Rowly-Conwy's idea of competing referential frameworks, the article argues that these conceptualisations have to be assessed within their contemporary colonial and …

  • Does Temporary Geographical Proximity Predict Learning? Knowledge Dynamics in the Olympic Games

    Marguerite Müller, Allison Stewart•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2014•Cited by: 6•References: 13

    Müller M. and Stewart A. Does temporary geographical proximity predict learning? Knowledge dynamics in the Olympic Games, Regional Studies. Temporary geographical proximity in the form of face-to-face contact is commonly thought to enhance learning. In a sample of individuals (n = 294) involved in knowledge transfer in the Olympic Games, temporary geographical proximity emerges as a rather weak predictor of learning, although its explanatory valu…

  • A half-hearted romance? A diagnosis and agenda for the relationship between economic geography and actor-network theory (ANT)

    Open Access•Marguerite Müller, Martin Müller•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2014•Cited by: 19•References: 42

    This paper examines the relationship of actor-network theory (ANT) and economic geography, arguing that there has been a rather restrictive, sometimes ambiguous reading of ANT literature. It reviews three major lines of reception in economic geography around the themes of topological space, translation and performativity. Subsequently, the paper problematizes conflicting interpretations of 'network' and 'power' as central ANT terms. In an attempt…
