“But they hardly ever freeze now”
The concept of ‘weather-heritage’ suggests that weather is so central to everyday life that it should be considered a form of intangible cultural heritage, and protected through this lens. Weather contributes to sense of place, and it is through perceived changes to normal weather that people experience atmospheric changes caused by greenhouse gas emissions. This study explores and develops this concept through a study of the weather memories of …

Weather, heritage, and memory
Sense of place and identity are related to the weather, and to memories and perceptions of what constitutes “normal” weather for a particular place. Weather is an important ingredient of cultural life; thus, long‐term changes to weather patterns can affect sense of place and sense of reality, although these changes will not be experienced uniformly. We argue that weather and climate should thus be considered forms of intangible cultural heritage,…
El Niño without 'El Niño'? Path dependency and the definition problem in El Niño Southern Oscillation research
The El Niño phenomenon - and its associated phenomena El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and La Niña - have become probably the most well-known forms of natural climatic variability. El Niño forecasts underpin regional Climate Outlook Forums in many parts of the world. The declaration of El Niño conditions can unlock development aid money and El Niño events commonly receive widespread media coverage. Yet 'El Niño' has not always meant what it do…
Werewolves and warning signs
The role that culture plays in the way different groups experience, respond to, and recover from disasters has been widely discussed. Yet, while there is a considerable (and growing) literature of case study evidence for the need to account for culture in disasters, comparatively few studies take a long-term perspective on cultural interactions with disasters, resulting in a lack of exploration into the diachronic nature of these cultural respons…
Situating El Niño
Modes of climate variability such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have important implications for how climate risks are understood and prepared for. This article establishes a new critical geography of ENSO research practice through examination of the production of ENSO science in three U.S. research centers, chosen for their dominance in ENSO knowledge production and their location outside of "teleconnection" regions. Scientists in th…
Exploring the gap between policy and action in Disaster Risk Reduction
The transition from a response-based paradigm to an anticipative, prevention-based approach remains a stubborn challenge in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Whilst the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has advocated the latter since the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction in the 1990s, many countries have been slow to move from a response-focused approach to a preventative one. International policy guidelines…
The role of gender in peer-group perceptions of climate scientists’ media statements
This research explores whether environmental scientists perceive their male and female peers differently when making statements in the media including policy advocacy. Environmental scientists in the United Kingdom were provided with a media statement by a fictitious scientist containing a mixture of scientific information and advocacy, and asked to rate the statement against various attributes. Attributes were designed to represent stereotypes a…
Building back better from Covid-19
COVID-19 recovery is an opportunity to enhance life chances by Building Back Better, an objective promoted by the UN and deployed politically at national level. To help understand emergent and intentional opportunities to Build Back Better, we propose a research agenda drawing from geographical thinking on social contracts, assemblage theory and the politics of knowledge. This points research towards the ways in which everyday and professional kn…

[Article in WIREs Clim Change 2016, 7:164–174. The Nottingham based project exploring Documentary reconstructions of extreme weather events in the UK, past, present and future, is funded through the AHRC, Grant number: AH/K005782/1. 'The Snows of Yesteryear: Narrating Extreme Weather' Project, based at the University of Wales, was funded by the AHRC, award number AH/K502765/1
Toward integrated historical climate research
Climate change has become a key environmental narrative of the 21st century. However, emphasis on the science of climate change has overshadowed studies focusing on human interpretations of climate history, of adaptation and resilience, and of explorations of the institutions and cultural coping strategies that may have helped people adapt to climate changes in the past. Moreover, although the idea of climate change has been subject to considerab…
Private diaries as information sources in climate research
Private diaries constitute a unique set of materials within climate change research in that they provide information both on past climate variability and on the ways that people live within, and interact with, climate. The fact that the observations within diaries are affected as much by personal experience as by physical conditions can render the derivation of robust climatic data problematic, and a number of techniques have been developed to ge…

Autogénération du langage, mode d'emploi de l'écriture narrative de Madeleine Monette
By creating in Le double suspect a character who is the reader in a first narrative and becomes the scriptor in a second, Madeleine Monette illustrates the scriptor-reader relationship, which is that of the self and the other. Here, the metatextual JEU enjoys free play, as does the JE of the narrators as each seeks her own language through that of the other. In "L'Américain et la Jarretière," the narrative opens and closes with two almost identic…
