The Geopolitics of Mapping the Deep Seabed Frontier
The deep seabed has always inspired a cartographic impulse. For the scientific community, this is nowhere better exemplified by its current attempts to map the entire global ocean floor by 2030 as a ‘corrective’ to its relative lack of data. Yet, this paper argues that such efforts reproduce a historic relationship between deep ocean scientific knowledge production and colonial extractivism which is the basis for contemporary deep-sea mining effo…
Framing deep sea mining in/with oceania
Technoscientific imaging and the territorialization of ocean depth
Once the last unclaimed solid expanse on Earth, the ocean floor has become one of the most contested spaces in contemporary geopolitics. The data-imagery produced by technoscience serves as the ultimate tool for nations asserting sovereignty in this territorial race. This symposium gathers diverse perspectives on the ongoing expansionist drive on the seabed, drawing inspiration from Abissal ——a film-article featuring the Portuguese modern odyssey…
European Military Rivalry, 1500-1750
Geographies of deep sea mining
Commercial deep sea mining (DSM) stands at a threshold as both national and global legal regimes seek to move beyond exploration of the seabed towards its exploitation. As an emerging political issue that takes place in complex geographies that are not always accounted for by science, deep-sea mining demands critical attention. It is against this background that this paper aims to highlight work that foregrounds these different geographies and ac…
Mining in Africa after the supercycle
Mining in Africa is at a pivotal moment. For most of the period 2000 to 2012, the extractive industries were in a “supercycle” of sustained high commodity prices. Driven by resource‐intensive growth in emerging market economies, these high commodity prices were anticipated to continue for decades to come. However, this “supercycle” ended in 2012 and there followed a severe slump in mineral prices from 2014 onwards. On the one hand, a new era of c…
Extraction in Four Dimensions
Despite the truism that less is known about the deep-sea than outer space, deep-sea mining (DSM) is being promoted as the next frontier of resource extraction. In 2019, Nautilus Minerals hopes to become the world’s first company to mine the deep seabed in the waters off Papua New Guinea (PNG). DSM thus stands at the threshold of becoming a matter of politics; it has provoked a wide range of geopolitical imaginaries variously relating to ‘resource…
Performing ‘blue degrowth’
Scripted as a sustainable alternative to terrestrial mining, the licence for the world’s first commercial deep-sea mining (DSM) site was issued in Papua New Guinea in 2011 to extract copper and gold from a deposit situated 1600 m below the surface of the Bismarck Sea. Whilst DSM’s proponents locate it as emergent part of a blue economy narrative, its critics point to the ecological and economic uncertainty that characterises the proposed practice…
Greening the blue? Corporate strategies for legitimising deep sea mining
The world’s first deep-sea mining (DSM) project has witnessed the commercial development of plans to extract copper and gold from deposits 1600m deep in the waters of offshore Papua New Guinea (PNG). Viewed as ‘experimental’ and ‘uncertain’ by its critics, it has afforded both controversy and resistance. This paper critically analyses the multifarious strategies that the industry’s apologists use in order to respond to environmental concerns and …
Securing the blue
The Blue Economy concept is being embraced enthusiastically in Africa, both internally and externally. However, this new framing creates and calls for new understandings of how actors and places relate to one another, control, and create meaning and value. Thus, understanding the ocean - and its conceptual and material fabric - in this context, is a matter of political ecology, raising a number of questions that extend across geographies, spatio-…
The Nine Years War, 1593–1603
Some aspects of the Nine Years War in Ireland, especially the Battle of the Yellow Ford, the Siege of Kinsale and the final downfall of Hugh O’Neill, earl of Tyrone, have been studied in detail, but histories of the entire conflict are less common and most are over sixty years old. James O’Neill has written both a balanced military narrative, without favouring any one side, episode, event or theme, and a measured discussion of the reasons for Tyr…
National resources'? The fragmented citizenship of gas extraction in Tanzania
Recent discoveries of oil and natural gas across East Africa have provoked a wave of political optimism fuelled by imaginaries of future development. Tanzania is a paragon of this trend; its government having asserted its potential to become a globally significant natural gas producer within a decade. Yet, this rhetorical promise has been countered by a series of violent confrontations that have taken place between state forces and residents of s…
New’ nations
Recently there have been increasing instances of the return of the state as the central agent of development in resource-rich nations globally. Characterised by both a rhetorical and substantive commitment to increasing control over national resource revenues, this so-called new/neo-extractivism has attracted a debate concerning the extent to which it offers a viable alternative to the imperatives of neoliberal resource extraction. Using two exam…
War and Peace in the Western Political Imagination
Roger Manning says that the politico-military practices within ancient Greece and, to a lesser extent, Rome, informed subsequent western attitudes towards war and its myriad consequences. The distinctiveness of Dr Manning’s approach to this well-known subject is his emphasis on peace rather than war and his main thrust concerns how the notion of peace was hampered and retarded by societies organised principally for the exercise of armed aggressio…

Exploring post-course outcomes of an undergraduate tourism field trip to the Antarctic Peninsula
A small number of educational programmes for university students include field experience in Antarctica. These programmes contain a range of educational objectives, approaches and academic assessment related to the field component and the intended on-site learning for students. However, it is possible that the on-site experiences of students in these programmes have an influence on later decisions and behaviour beyond the course itself in the yea…

Compass of Compassion
At the height of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Choctaw writer Cedric Sunray wrote in his Native American Times essay, “Similarities between Tribes and the Ninth Ward”:\nThe word tragedy can hardly signify the extent of the pain being suffered by many in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While America comes to grips with the enormity of the despair, people, many of them Black, in the previously unheard of Ninth Ward of New Orleans (one of the count…
Report on the Manuscripts of the Late Allen George Finch Esq., of Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland (Volume V)
One hundred and twenty-five years after the appearance of the initial survey in the HMC 7 th Report and ninety-one years on from the publication of the first volume in 1913, this is the fifth and final part of the calendar of the Finch MSS. It is among the last books to be published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC ), marking the termination of a most distinguished contribution to the furtherance and study of English history.

Should the School Seek Actively to Reconstruct Society
SOCIETY organizes and maintains schools because it deems it necessary that specialized attention be given to the process by which the young are introduced into its manner of life. The school is thus doubly social in nature. As an institution, the school is society organized for action along a certain line, namely, the education of the young. But the school is social in another and more fundamental respect. The very materials which supply the subs…
