Creating cities of care
This paper brings into proximity and advances geographical engagements with care to propose a new radical care framework for research with minoritised migrants and refugees in the city. Informed by calls for alternative and care- full modes of knowledge production through creative engagements with lived experiences of care and building on recent scholarship on shadow infrastructures of care in cities, it examines how we might attend to the invisi…
Care-full resistance to slow violence
This paper explores the slow violence of the state towards those seeking asylum, alongside resistance to it, through a critical discussion of the role of arts-based practice, care-full practice and the potential for a new politics of hope.It reflects on a series of creative online workshops led by two arts-based refugee organisations based in London, Stories & Supper and Phosphoros Theatre, during the COVID-19 lockdowns in the UK in 2020 and 2021…
Tales from other people's houses
This paper explores what it means to live together in the city through a focus on home and urban public space in East London. It develops a conceptual framework for understanding home as a site of dis/connection - both connected to and disconnected from - the wider estate, street, neighbourhood and city. Drawing on a series of home-city biographies with residents living on different housing estates, we explore what makes a city 'liveable' for its…

À la rencontre de la différence
Robin Cohen et Olivia Sheringham montrent comment des sociétés apprennent à vivre avec la diversité sociale et culturelle. Ils analysent en détail et en profondeur comment les concepts de formation identitaire, de diaspora et de créolisation mettent en lumière les processus et les géographies de la rencontre. S'appuyant sur des recherches menées à travers le monde, y compris des travaux de terrain récemment menés en Louisiane, en Martinique, à Ma…
The “living of time”
This paper explores the entanglements between urban and domestic temporalities in order to understand what it means to live in the city. The “living of time” encompasses the temporalities of urban dwelling at home and in relation to the wider estate, street, neighbourhood, and city and reveals how residents adapt to, negotiate, and at times resist processes of change and continuity at home and in the city
Globe's encounters and the art of rolling
This article explores the multiple and multifarious encounters of and with Globe, a 1-metre-diameter copper spherical sculpture hosting four cameras that has been rolled by the artist Janetka Platun and others in London, Shrewsbury and Delhi. Situating Globe in relation to Janetka's art practice and the wider 'art of rolling', and extending broader debates about globality, encounter and relational aesthetics, the article argues that Globe's journ…
Home-city geographies
Developing an agenda to conceptualise the connections between the domestic and the urban, this paper focuses on urban domesticities (homemaking in the city), domestic urbanism (the city as home) and the home-city geographies that connect them. Home-city geographies examine the interplay between lived experiences of urban homes and the contested domestication of urban space. Reflecting the ways in which urban homes and the ability to feel at home …
Migration, transnationalism and Catholicism
Despite the fact that religious communities are ‘among the oldest transnationals’ (Rudolph, 1997), the prevailing literature on migration and transnationalism has until recently tended to ignore re
Rethinking Diversity in Europe
Can creolization offer new ways of conceptualizing social and cultural transformations in contemporary Europe? And what are the implications of transferring a concept that is deeply rooted in the violent history of slavery and exploitation to new contexts and settings? Through an in-depth review of Creolizing Europe, this review article explores these questions among others. It is argued that, used with caution and in dialogue with other understa…
Markers of identity in Martinique
Martinican identity involves the negotiation of multiple markers of difference. These often conflicting identities have been powerfully played out as a form of cultural politics: the Négritude movement, which emphasised African roots, the Creolité movement, which proclaimed Martinique's identity as a unique mix of multiple cultures, and the ever-present pull of the French assimilationist state. This paper seeks to bridge the gap between these int…
Crioulização cotidiana e ecos diaspóricos
Expressões da cultura popular (a música e o carnaval) foram frequentemente analisadas como manifestações de resistência indireta à opressão. Usando uma combinação de material publicado e observações de campo em Cabo Verde e na Luisiana, mostramos como surge um jogo complexo entre resistência e cooptação. No entanto, processos de apropriação são continuamente desafiados por divergência interna, demandas por autenticidade e novos insumos criativos.…

The Salience of Islands in the Articulation of Creolization and Diaspora
In this article, we consider whether there is something about the spatiality of islands which makes them particularly fertile spaces for the emergence of creolized and/or diasporic identities. Drawing on the insights of social geographers, we argue that as well as considering temporal dimensions of creolization and diaspora it could also be fruitful to consider the spatial realm within which they emerge. Following an overview of the ways in which…
Introduction
This special issue comprises a selection of articles given at the conference “Islands and Identities: Creolization and Diaspora in Comparative Perspective” held at the University of Oxford, 6-7 December 2012. The event involved the participation of international scholars from the islands of Reunion, Mauritius, and Guadeloupe, as well as from South Africa, the United States, and Europe. With pre-circulated papers leaving ample time for discussion,…

Brazilians in London
Brazilians are one of the groups of the ‘new immigration’ that has been pivotal to the emergence of ‘superdiversity’ in the UK. This piece reports on a quantitative study of Brazilians in London which aims to contribute to a better understanding of Brazilian immigrant experiences in the UK
Creating 'Alternative Geographies
This article explores an emerging body of research within geography that has engaged with religion and spirituality, as well as the important theoretical and empirical contributions of geographers to 'transnational studies' within migration research. It argues for the importance of exploring these two fields as interrelated, suggesting some potentially fruitful avenues of inquiry for geographers. It considers how, while geographers and transnatio…
