  • Sorcery on Social Media

    Open Access•Gang Hong, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Folklore Electronic Journal of…•2026

    The South China island of Hainan is home to large numbers of non-Han ethnic minori-ties. Owing to its distinct geography and population, sorcery (variously defined) has been practiced on Hainan, and the island is often associated with sorcery in online, literary and popular media discourses. We explore the dynamic relationship between the craft of Gin (Jin 禁 in Mandarin Chinese), a local sorcery supposedly practised by ethnic minorities in Hainan…

  • Seeking the Present in the Past

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Ping Su•ARTICLE•Folklore Electronic Journal of…•2026

    hinese folklore studies possesses a long, complex trajectory shaped by local social, cultural and political discourses. While European and North American folklore often seeks ‘the past in the present’, this guest editorial introduction argues that Chinese folklore operates by finding ‘the present in the past’. We discuss the academic discipline of Chinese folklore studies as part of Chinese folklore itself, exploring the connections between folkl…

  • What Gods Want

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Yue‐Jian Lin et al.•ARTICLE•Folklore Electronic Journal of…•2026

    This paper explores the nature of deities in South China through the perspectives of ritual service providers (RSPs) working at village temples dedicated to the local god Hou Wang. Diverging from traditional sociological frameworks, the study adopts a folklore studies approach to examine personal experiences and vernacular meanings of the sacred. Drawing on six semi-structured interviews conducted in Guangzhou and Dongguan between 2024 and 2025, …

  • Why islandness matters for planning studies

    Adam Grydehøj, Ping Su•ARTICLE•Town Planning Review•2026

    In this response to Davies and Lai’s (2025) commentary ‘Is “Island Study” but a Form of Land Study?’ we advance the case for attentiveness to islandness within planning studies. Even though islands possess diverse characteristics, and it is impossible to formulate a universal definition for island or set of universal characteristics of islandness, perceptions surrounding islandness remain important for how people think about and engage with space…

  • Beyond Balance

    Open Access•Huan Zhang, Haitao Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2026•Referencias: 7

    Under conditions of limited space, ecological fragility, and relative isolation, construction and development on islands are not merely auxiliary instruments of sustainable development; rather, they constitute key processes that continuously shape island social-ecological systems. Drawing on a review of existing scholarship, this paper argues that island sustainability research remains largely framed by the paradigm of ‘balancing development and …

  • In the Darkness of the Gods

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Yue‐Jian Lin et al.•ARTICLE•Folk, knowledge, place•2025

    This visual autoethnographic and interview-based folklore study asks how darkness and light relate to social, cultural, and religious meaning at a village temple in South China. The relationship between darkness and light is important in religious traditions in China and elsewhere. Over the course of a year, the researchers observed how a village temple in Dongguan, Guangdong Province underwent renovations that changed it from a dark space (in li…

  • Chinese Reflections

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Qi Pan•ARTICLE•Journal of Transnational American…•2025•Referencias: 2

    This short article explores the opinions of Chinese people resident in China concerning Donald Trump and the 2024 US presidential election. Political thinking in China is often perceived through West-centric perspectives, which fail to capture the ways in which Chinese people perceive political events. Few Chinese people have interest in American politics, but among those who do, opinions surrounding Trump and the 2024 election are split. These o…

  • Memory and Forgetfulness of the Flood

    Open Access•Cao Li, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2025•Referencias: 9

    Islands are often associated with sites of memory, forgetting, and nostalgia. People find islands in the world and imbue them with social and cultural meaning. Drawing upon studies of islands as sites of memory and forgetting, and taking the case of Thousand-Island Lake (Qiandaohu) in Zhejiang, China, this paper argues that it is important to denaturalise island geographies when considering the social and cultural roles they play. Thousand-Island…

  • If Islands Did Not Exist, It Would Be Necessary to Invent Them

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Ping Su et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2025•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 22

    Island studies has had much to say about why understanding perceptions of islandness matters for understanding the world, and it has often questioned what islandness is. Island studies has nevertheless often taken for granted that islandness ought to be perceived and has often seen islandness as something good that requires preservation. The act of studying islands per se introduces the risk that a researcher will look for and look at islands wit…

  • Ritual Labour and Maintenance of Tradition in a Village Temple

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Qi Pan•ARTICLE•Folklore Electronic Journal of…•2025

    This paper is a study of ritual and profession at a temple in a demolished village in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, South China. The study focuses on two ritual service providers (RSPs) who 1) offer services within fortune-telling, divination and feng shui (geomancy) and 2) serve as intermediaries between worshippers and the deities from Daoism and folk religion who are enshrined in the temple. We take an occupational folklore approach to ask ho…

  • “We Go Away and Come Back Whenever We Want To”

    Open Access•Sonja Podgorelec, Adam Grydehøj et al.•ARTICLE•Folk, knowledge, place•2024

    Over the centuries, migration has significantly impacted Croatian islands and islanders. Taking a life course perspective and deploying semistructured interviews, this paper analyses time as a variable in contemporary return migration to Dugi Otok, a small island in Croatia. The focus is on the personal experiences of key events in the interviewees’ individual life histories that influenced their decisions to leave and to return. Comparing with r…

  • Moments of Silence

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Folk, knowledge, place•2024

    This paper explores ethical pitfalls and potential harms that arise in autoethnography. I use evocative autoethnographic writing to reflect upon my experiences undertaking a research project on social and natural isolation in Orkney and Svalbard (2001-2002). This project involved a commitment for me to remain silent and not speak for six months. On the basis of these reflections, I discuss problems concerning the impossibility of acquiring free c…

  • To study island China

    Open Access•Zuan Ou, Shuangjuan Zhan et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 21

    As greater attention has been paid to island research in China, interactions between Chinese and international island scholars have increased. However, research has tended to take an ‘islands of China’ approach, which perceives China as a continental country surrounded by a large number of islands. The present paper proposes an alternative ‘island China’ perspective, informed by selected Chinese traditions of thinking about islands and the sea, t…

  • Bordered and crossborder perspectives on sustainable development

    Open Access•Ping Su, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Cities•2024•Referencias: 57

    Challenges to social, economic, and environmental sustainability are global in scale, yet sustainable development policies must be implemented locally. There has been a tendency for sustainable urbanism projects to engage in the conspicuous sustainability of spatially bounded and highly visible sustainability achievements, rather than spatially expansive, long-term achievements. China's complex system of multilevel governance encourages policy ex…

  • Encountering Folk, Knowledge, and Place

    Open Access•Yaso Nadarajah, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Folk, knowledge, place•2024•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 21

    Studies of culture, history, literature, and art can provide insight into our multiple senses of place. The manner in which we speak, write, illustrate, and produce our landscapes; the politics of land use; and life on land or sea (or away from it) reflect human efforts to live locally. Similarly, studies of ecologies, landforms, weather, and other natural phenomena can teach us about how people spatialise and make homes in the world. Culture, li…

  • The Goddess Mazu Has Many Homes

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Folk, knowledge, place•2024•Citada por: 4

    This paper asks how researchers can fruitfully and respectfully approach traditions of the sacred. It centres on the author’s efforts to use autoethnography to interact with the Chinese sea goddess Mazu at Nansha Tianhou Temple in Guangzhou, China. Combining methods and concepts from folklore and human geography, the paper takes an experience-centred and relational approach to religion, belief, and the supernatural while understanding the sacred …

  • No future of island studies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 12

    This editorial conclusion looks back on how Island Studies Journal has developed from its start in 2006, up through the beginning of the current editorship in 2017, and through to the start of a new editorship in mid-2023. Island studies has transformed from being a close-knit community centred on a few key scholars to being a field composed of numerous loosely connected movements. There is no longer a clearly identifiable ‘mainstream’ island stu…

  • Interaction between islands and special economic zones

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Ping Su•ARTICLE•Area•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 72

    Despite considerable research into special economic zones (SEZs) and Island Studies, islands and SEZs are rarely considered together. Islands and SEZs are, however, closely associated, in part due to the attractiveness of island characteristics (remoteness, boundedness, isolation) for exclusive economic processes. Many prominent SEZs are located on small islands, and many island economies function similarly to SEZs. Defining SEZs as ‘bounded spac…

  • Indigenous Island Autonomy and Special Economic Zone Status

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Seon-Pil Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Shima•2023•Citada por: 1

    Islands are associated with both high levels of autonomous status and sovereign status on the one hand and the creation of exceptional spaces on the other, both linked with the development of distinctive island cultures. This article argues that there is a tension between these tendencies, as is illustrated by the case of Jeju Island, South Korea. Jeju is a self-governing province and subnational island jurisdiction (SNIJ). Its autonomy is rooted…

  • Governing and financing affordable housing at the intersection of the market and the state

    Luise Noring, David Struthers et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Research & Practice•2022

    Denmark’s private non-profit housing (almene boliger) sector provides affordable housing and social housing and is capable of being self-governing and self-financing. We examine the private non-profit housing sector’s governance and financing model and assess the extent to which its institutional framework and revolving funds model allow it to serve as a role model for the development of affordable housing in other countries and cities. The paper…

  • Critical reflexivity and decolonial methodology in island studies

    Open Access•Yaso Nadarajah, Elena Burgos Martinez et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2022•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 28

    Although the field of island studies has from the start regarded itself as a defender of islands and islander interests, it is entangled in coloniality. This editorial focuses on issues of power, knowledge, and position. Who wields power in island studies? Who knows about islands? Where is island studies located, and how does it position itself? The paper discusses problems such as tokenism and forced inclusions, denial and circumscription of exp…

  • A future of island studies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2017•Citada por: 26

    Island studies has developed into an established, interdisciplinary research field. It is important that island studies not only continue deepening its internal theoretical understandings but also reach out to other fields and regions that have received limited attention within island studies. It is also necessary for island studies to grapple with a number of problematic tendencies within the field and the wider scholarship, including by challen…

  • Sacred islands and island symbolism in Ancient and Imperial China

    Open Access•Luo Bin, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2017•Citada por: 22•Referencias: 17

    This paper explores conceptions of islands in Ancient and Imperial China. From at least the 3rd Century BCE, mainland Chinese culture regarded islands as sacred, unapproachable fairylands, home to the elixir of immortality. This inspired a trend for voyages in search of mythological sacred islands as well as a landscape architecture trend for constructing artificial islands in imperial palace gardens. Over time, Taoism came to associate islands w…

  • Relational geography of a border island

    Open Access•Su-Hsin Lee, Wen-Hua Huang et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2017•Citada por: 18•Referencias: 10

    The paper considers Lieyu island from a relational geography perspective, relative to the islands of Kinmen, Xiamen, and Taiwan. Lieyu retains its natural landscape and military heritage in part due to its remote location and military restrictions relative to nearby Kinmen Island. Local politicians harness Lieyu's archipelagic relationality and sense of underdevelopment relative to other islands in its archipelago to gain financial subsidies for …

  • Developing urban growth and urban quality

    Open Access•Jürgen Bruns-Berentelg, Luise Noring et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2022•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 41

    This paper considers the cases of urban redevelopment at waterfront and brownfield sites in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Hamburg (Germany) to explore how two municipal governments have pursued divergent kinds of entrepreneurial governance, even as they have aimed to create similar kinds of new-build neighbourhoods. Copenhagen and Hamburg have both engaged in large-scale speculative development projects, simultaneously raising urban land values and ad…

  • Hearing voices

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2018•Citada por: 14

    This editorial introduction delves into problematic aspects of positionality and publishing ethics related to island and Indigenous issues. Taking its point of departure in Gilley’s paper on ‘The case for colonialism’ and Pöllath’s paper ‘Revisiting island decolonization’, the present paper questions: Whose voices should we listen to when considering island and Indigenous issues? If some voices should be excluded from the debate, how should we de…

  • Urban morphology and urban fragmentation in Macau, China

    Open Access•Ni Sheng, U W Tang et al.•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2017•Citada por: 14

    The island city of Macau, part of China’s Pearl River Delta megacity region, has undergone urban fragmentation, occasioning transport problems and environmental inequalities as well as conditioning future urban development. Land scarcity associated with island spatiality encourages dense and incremental urban expansion, facilitated by coastal land reclamation, causing spatiotemporal urban fragmentation. The Macau Peninsula, formerly a hilly islan…

  • The eco‐island trap

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, I Kelman•ARTICLE•Area•2017•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 23

    Small islands worldwide are increasingly turning to conspicuous sustainability as a development strategy. Island spatiality encourages renewable energy and sustainability initiatives that emphasise iconicity and are undertaken in order to gain competitive advantage, strengthen sustainable tourism or ecotourism, claim undue credit, distract from failures of governance or obviate the need for more comprehensive policy action. Without necessarily co…

  • Branding From Above

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2008•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 1

    This paper considers the development of a generic cultural brand for islands. In 2002, Shetland’s local government and the Corporate Edge consultancy developed a modernized, internationally-oriented Shetland brand. This official brand conflicts with Shetlanders’ traditional, locally-oriented identity concept, which has impeded the brand’s success. With emphasis on printed tourism marketing materials, Shetland’s experience is compared with those o…

  • Island city formation and urban island studies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Area•2015•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 31

    Regional, national and global cities are disproportionately located on small islands and archipelagos. The ‘spatial turn’ within island and urban geography increasingly privileges abstract notions of space, yet the prevalence of big cities on small islands suggests that sensitivity to place‐specific spatial factors is necessary if we are to understand both islands and the urban. Whereas previous studies of island cities have tended to underplay t…

  • Constructing a centre on the periphery

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2014•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 12

    Both islands and cities are often conceptualized in terms of centre-periphery relationships. Scholarly attempts to nuance popular associations of islands with peripherality and cities with centrality reflect awareness of underlying power relationships. Drawing upon island studies and urban studies knowledge, the case of Nuuk, Greenland, is used to explore how centring and peripheralizing processes play out in an island city. Greenland as a whole …

  • Making the Most of Smallness

    Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Space and Polity•2011•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 8

    Recent research has shown how the economies of very small jurisdictions function differently from the economies of larger jurisdictions. Due to the small populations and small economic size of microstates and SNIJs (sub-national island jurisdictions), their governments function differently as well, tending to be disproportionately large relative to their populations. Although small economic size is often considered a disadvantage, microstates and…

  • Islands of connectivity

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Marco Casagrande•ARTICLE•Area•2020•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 27

    Researchers are increasingly turning to relational approaches to island geography, with special emphasis being placed on archipelagos and land–sea interactions. Islands nevertheless continue to be associated with isolation, peripherality and/or disconnectedness, and fixed links such as bridges and causeways continue to be regarded as factors that decrease the quality of islandness. This does not, however, take into account the diversity of island…

  • Social and economic effects of spatial distribution in island communities

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, P Hayward•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2014•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 13

    There has been increasing awareness that communities based on islands are subject to particular island-related factors (the so-called ‘island effect’). This paper sheds empirical light on how the island effect differs in different kinds of island communities, specifically solitary islands on the one hand and archipelagos on the other. It does so by comparing two subnational island jurisdictions (SNIJs) in England: the Isles of Scilly and the Isle…

  • Autonomy Initiatives and Quintessential Englishness on the Isle of Wight

    Amidst the debate concerning how to interpret the emergence of new forms of urbanism in today’s world, little attention has been given to urban interstices – the inter-urban boundary areas and interface zones that facilitate exchange between and within vast urban systems. The present paper considers how place is made and developed at these interstices, which frequently provide essential urban functions but are also frequently regarded as rural. W…

    Islands are often associated with distinct cultures. Although the island polities that formed during the withdrawal of empire frequently brought together various ethnicities, Indigenous governance and claims to cultural distinction have often remained an ideal for such islands and archipelagos. This paper examines the complex causality behind associations between indigeneity and islandness, discussing how island spatiality fosters: (1) cultural d…

  • Islands as legible geographies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Journal of Marine and Island…•2018•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 22

    Despite considerable research within the field of island studies, no consensus has yet been reached as to what it is that makes islands special. Around the world, islands and archipelagos are shaped by diverse spatialities and relationalities that make it difficult to identify clear general characteristics of islandness. This paper argues that one such 'active ingredient' of islandness, which is present across many forms of island spatiality, is …

Utilising Ronström's distinction between tradition and heritage, this paper uses case studies from the islands of Shetland, Åland, and Svalbard to analyse how the uninherited nature of some heritage can influence its reception by the local community. These receptions vary and influence attempts to develop heritage under the world heritage ideal or fo…

Drawing upon island studies and urban studies knowledge, the case of Nuuk, Greenland, is used to explore how centring and peripheralizing processes play out in an island city. Greenland as a whole …

  • Accidental and ideal island cities

    Open Access•Elizabeth Pigou-Dennis, Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2014•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 7

    This paper explores processes of islanding, de-islanding, and re-islanding in the context of island cities. Although today popularly associated with rural, peripheral, and isolated landscapes, concepts of the ideal city coincided in Medieval and Renaissance Europe with emergent notions of the ideal island. Major European cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, and Copenhagen were established on densely urbanized small islands. In accordance with dominan…

  • Returning from the Horizon

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj, Xavier Barceló Pinya et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Island Studies•2015

    Island studies tends to focus on peripheral, isolated, and marginal aspects of island communities, while urban studies has showed scant awareness of islandness: Although many people research cities on islands, there is little tradition of researching island cities or urban archipelagos per se. Island cities (densely populated small islands and population centres of larger islands and archipelagos) nevertheless play import cultural, economic, poli…

  • Making Ground, Losing Space

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Urban Island Studies•2015

    This article foregrounds urban public space by considering land reclamation in island cities. Land reclamation is nearly ubiquitous in the urban development of coastal cities, and island cities in particular are subject to exceptionally dense urbanisation and thus exceptionally strong conflict over urban space. Drawing upon theories at the intersection of the land and the sea (liquid, archipelago, and aquapelago spatiality), we analyse socially p…

  • Islandology

    Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Journal of Cultural Geography•2015•Citada por: 2

    Islandology: rhetoric, politics, Marc Shell, Stanford, Stanford University Press, 2015, xiii + 361 pp., US$28.78 (hardback), ISBN 978-08047-8629-4 In 2011, Lisa Fletcher (Some Distance to Go..., New Literatures Review, 47-48, p. 18) argues that, despite its claims to interdisciplinarity, the field of island studies is undermined an untheorised distinction between the relative value of 'geography' and 'literature', with the dominance of geographic…

  • Island city formation and urban island studies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Area•2015•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 31

    Regional, national and global cities are disproportionately located on small islands and archipelagos. The ‘spatial turn’ within island and urban geography increasingly privileges abstract notions of space, yet the prevalence of big cities on small islands suggests that sensitivity to place‐specific spatial factors is necessary if we are to understand both islands and the urban. Whereas previous studies of island cities have tended to underplay t…

  • Island Smart Eco-Cities

    Open Access•Island Dynamics, Adam Grydehøj et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Island Studies•2016

    Governments and developers around the globe are exploiting the benefits of island \nspatiality to sell urban sustainability. Many new-build smart cities, eco-cities, and sustainable \ncities (‘smart eco-cities’) are constructed on small islands or otherwise bounded from \nsurrounding urban space. Island spatiality presents benefits for selling smart eco-cities as \nrole models of sustainable innovation: ease of creating value, ease of measuring s…

  • Toward Subnational Democracies of Scale

    Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Geopolitics•2016•Citada por: 4

    Although democracy is often discussed as a universally applicable ideology, the liberal democratic state tends to assess democracy on the basis of government institutions. This paper argues that democratic institutionalism favours national governments and makes it difficult for subnational governments to expand their governance capacity and exercise additional powers. Greenland, Shetland, and Tresco (Isles of Scilly) serve as case studies of diff…

  • A future of island studies

    Open Access•Adam Grydehøj•ARTICLE•Island Studies Journal•2017•Citada por: 26

    Island studies has developed into an established, interdisciplinary research field. It is important that island studies not only continue deepening its internal theoretical understandings but also reach out to other fields and regions that have received limited attention within island studies. It is also necessary for island studies to grapple with a number of problematic tendencies within the field and the wider scholarship, including by challen…
