  • Building community resilience in a context of climate change

    Open AccessEsther Carmen, I Fazey et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022Citada por: 14Referencias: 109

    Social capital is considered important for resilience across social levels, including communities, yet insights are scattered across disciplines. This meta-synthesis of 187 studies examines conceptual and empirical understandings of how social capital relates to resilience, identifying implications for community resilience and climate change practice. Different conceptualisations are highlighted, yet also limited focus on underlying dimensions of…

  • The Fulcrum of Experience in Indian Yoga and Possession Trance

    Open AccessFiona M Smith, Frederick M SmithARTICLEReligions2019Referencias: 22

    The "inner organ" (antaḥkaraṇa) in the Indian philosophical school called Sāṃkhya is applied in two different experiential contexts: in the act of transcendence according to the path of yoga explored in the Yogasūtras of Patañjali (ca. 350 CE) and in the process of identity shift that occurs in possession by a deity in a broader range of Indian cultural practices. The act of transcendence will be better understood if we look at the antaḥkaraṇa th…

  • Gaṅgā Devī between Worlds

    Fiona M Smith, Frederick M SmithARTICLESouth Asian Studies2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 8

    Gaṅgā Devī, the goddess and personification of the Ganges river, travels every spring from her winter home in Mukhba to her summer home in Gangotri, then back to Mukhba in the fall. This journey or pilgrimage is described, analyzed, and interpreted. Intimately connected to the journey and the cultural contexts is the visual spectacle, the imagery typically Himalayan, consisting of deities on the move, scenes of possession and divination, pictures…

  • Refiguring the Geopolitical Landscape

    Fiona M Smith, Fiona SmithCHAPTERPolitics2017

    Diversely gendered experiences of post-unification Germany are examined in relation to dominant neo-liberal scripts of post-Cold War restructuring and the tropes of ‘East’ and ‘West’ underpinning reunification. This provides a possible framework for feminist geopolitics where geopolitics are ‘refigured’ in three ways: assessing the relation of gender to the discursive practices of geopolitics; addressing the use and contestation of geopolitical d…

  • Innovative ethnography in the study of spirit possession in South Asia

    Jack Price Goblirsch, Fiona M Smith et al.THESIS2017

    The study of possession phenomena in South Asia presents a unique set of challenges for scholars. Because of its occurrence within diverse contexts, from healing temples and ritual performances to festival celebrations and devotional practices, attempts on the part of scholars to hone in on a concise vocabulary and conceptual framework with which to articulate the critical nature and function of possession has resulted in an extensive body of lit…

  • Emotional States

    Fiona Smith, Eleanor Jupp et al.BOOKEmotional States2016

    What is the political allure, value and currency of emotions within contemporary cultures of governance? What does it mean to govern more humanely? Since the emergence of an emotional turn in human geography over the last decade, the notion that our emotions matter in understanding an array of social practices, spatial formations and aspects of everyday life is no longer seen as controversial. This book brings recent developments in emotional geo…

  • Ethics of care across professional and everyday positionalities

    Open AccessMagdalena Blazek, Matej Blazek et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2015Citada por: 16Referencias: 13

    The paper offers a critical intervention into the debates on research impact, theorising the potential of underpinning research agendas by ethics of care. We explore how a range of vectors of care, both intimate and distant, emerged in collaborative activities between researchers based in the UK and community youth workers and teenage female carers in Slovakia, leading to a series of (un)expected outcomes. We argue that while all research impacts…
