Scams all the way up: The scam as vernacular analytic of digital capitalism
Scams have proliferated under digital capitalism; so too have stories of scams and allegations of scamming. In this commentary, we focus on the latter to situate the scam as a “vernacular analytic:” an everyday mode of critique invoked to question the normative systems and institutions that rule our lives, but are experienced as exploitative or rigged. While this vernacular analytic is a powerful and pervasive means to highlight inequality, we ar…
Emotions, ethics, relations: A conversation on research in war
This conversation reflects on a project that investigates land, labor, love and revolution in Myanmar. Drawing on a series of conversations across a diverse set of researchers, artists, and farmers...

A critical approach to co‐producing knowledge for development
Beyond spatial bias: Understanding the colonial legacies and contemporary social forces shaping biodiversity data
With over 2 billion observations of species from across the earth, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has become an influential repository of information for not only ecologists, but also conservation scientists and policy makers. Yet biodiversity data reveal more than species distributions. They reflect colonial histories, economic inequities, and cultural differences. This article argues for moving beyond ideas of ‘spatial bias…
Visualizing nature: A review of photovoice as a method for understanding environmental change
Originally developed in the field of public health, the participatory photography research methodology known as “photovoice” has increasingly been used by interdisciplinary environmental scientists. This scoping review assesses this trend, identifying and analyzing 132 relevant journal articles to evaluate how researchers deploy this methodology to understand environmental change processes and perceptions. We find that photovoice has been applied…
Post‐Agrarian Questions
Post‐agrarian questions arise from the collision of existing socio‐ecological forms, intimately tied to agriculture, and new economic and cultural realities that are reworking land relations. This Symposium challenges both conventional views of agrarian transition and Marxist formulations of agrarian questions by probing the space between the arrival of new opportunities and the durability of rurality. Taking our cue from postcolonial studies, we…
Agrarian Modernity—Coda
Around the globe, peasants, migrants, companies, and governments, even the land itself, are doing things that agrarian studies scholars are not anticipating. The changes in the countryside seem increasingly dramatic, challenging Marxist vocabulary and analysis. What is desirable, we suggest, is to complement the classical agrarian question with equally fundamental questions that spring from the side of modernity that Marxism tends to eschew: the …
Militarized borderlands: Resistant ecologies and refugee networks at the margins of states
In upland borderlands, militarization is a socioecological relation that stretches across generations and postcolonial boundaries. Drawing on interviews with Myanmar refugees who fled to India following Myanmar's 2021 military coup, this article demonstrates that relations to land are not destroyed by dispossession, but rather transplanted and transformed as refugees negotiate shelter, food provisioning, and social reproduction in the margins of …
The agroecological movement. A panoramic view
This article offers a panoramic view of the agroecological movement, led by several peasant and indigenous organizations around the world, and by different kinds of allies. The agroecological movement is defined as a diverse, decentralized coalition of movements, organizations and collectives, widely dispersed in urban and rural spaces, focused on contesting the hegemony of the agrifood system while taking action to radically transform it. We off…
From ground to cloud: Navigating research in digital geographies
The proliferation of screens, satellites, and sensors presents new methodological challenges and possibilities for geography. This article provides a heuristic to guide empirical research that engages combinations of digital and material topics and tools. Analytically separating objects of analysis and methods of inquiry and locating them “on the ground” and “in the cloud” enables researchers to chart a pathway through complex digital geographies…
Revolutionary countryside: A feminist counter-topography of war in Myanmar
Beyond the hype: Digital transformations in global land, housing, and property
This theme issue investigates how 21st-century digital innovations are changing the nature and value of land, housing, and property. Contributors bring together an array of cases to understand how digitization is remaking land and housing on a global scale and, in turn, how existing property relations structure digital transformations in particular geographies. In this introduction to the theme issue, we outline how hype can be used as an analyti…
Livestreamed land: Scams and certainty in Myanmar's digital land market
Scams are endemic to digital capitalism, whether they manifest as bitcoin bubbles or bullshit jobs. Drawing on two years of digital ethnography in Myanmar's Facebook land markets, this article explains what happens when the land scam migrates online. By unraveling warnings of trickery, interviewing wary participants, and inhabiting Facebook Live real estate tours, we argue that the scam is a vocation born of hope and desperation that targets land…
Digital Networks of Democratic Mobilization: Examining Performative, Material, and Rooted Approaches
In a world increasingly and unevenly connected through fiber-optic cables, satellite waves, and smartphones, spatial approaches attentive to questions of power and scale are key to grounding analysis of digital networks and illuminating the possibilities and instabilities created through network linkages. This article examines digital networks of democratic mobilization through the analytical lenses of poststructuralist, new materialist, and femi…
Between Transition and Revolution in Burma Studies - Along the Integral Margin: Uneven Development in a Myanmar Squatter Settlement and Forging the Nation: Land Struggles in Myanmar's Transition Perio…
Rice yields have dropped in many parts of Myanmar since the 2021 military coup, as the army burns fields and farmers face droughts and inflated input costs. But 2023 brought a bumper crop for books in Burma studies. The seeds were planted in a different time, when the mood was heady in Yangon's art galleries and business towers, and activists seemed to sleep only on the tedious bus trips to Nay Pyi Taw. Along with malls and mobile internet, the s…
Feminist political ecologies of agrarian technologies: Knowing the Digital Differently
As digital technologies become increasingly ubiquitous on farms, we need to reconsider relationships between technology and agriculture. Critical agrarian studies offers some analyses of digital technologies, but rarely engages feminist perspectives, risking the repetition of problematic assumptions about scale, subjectivity and power. We draw from the strengths of feminist political ecology to think through three digital technologies - remote se…
Cultivating intellectual community in academia: Reflections from the Science and Technology Studies Food and Agriculture Network (STSFAN)
Scholarship flourishes in inclusive environments where open deliberations and generative feedback expand both individual and collective thinking. Many researchers, however, have limited access to such settings, and most conventional academic conferences fall short of promises to provide them. We have written this Field Report to share our methods for cultivating a vibrant intellectual community within the Science and Technology Studies Food and A…
Small farmers, big tech: Agrarian commerce and knowledge on Myanmar Facebook
Forced Fallow Fields: Making Meaningful Life in the Myanmar Spring Revolution
Women’s everyday work is critical to revolutionary projects yet is often written out of war stories. This article draws on a participatory photography project with rural women in Myanmar to show how, in the face of extensive violence, women’s productive and social reproductive labour sustains both individual households and revolutionary projects writ-large. We highlight the everyday acts of love and labour that generate affective and productive t…
Organic online politics: Farmers, Facebook, and Myanmar's military coup
Despite perennial hope in the democratic possibilities of the internet, the rise of digital authoritarianism threatens online and offline freedom across much of the world. Yet while critical data studies has expanded its geographic focus, limited work to date has examined digital mobilization in the agrarian communities that comprise much of the Global South. This article advances the concept of "organic online politics," to demonstrate how digit…
Smart corruption: Satirical strategies for gaming accountability
Although new forms of data can be used to hold power to account, they also grant the powerful new resources to game accountability. We dub the latter behavior "smart corruption." The concept highlights the possibility of appropriating algorithms, infrastructures, and data publics to accumulate benefits and obscure responsibility while leaning into the positive associations of transparency. Unlike conventional forms of corruption, smart corruption…
After the Rice Frontier: Producing State and Ethnic Territory in Northwest Myanmar
Scholarship on resource frontiers has often privileged moments of discovery and sites of spectacular infrastructure and extraction. Yet smallholders can alter socio-ecological landscapes in ways that structure spatial and political possibilities even after resource rushes wane. In this paper, I draw on ethnographic research to illustrate how agrarian frontier histories shape contemporary ethnic and territorial boundary-making. In Kalay Valley, ac…
Remaking and Living with Resource Frontiers: Insights from Myanmar and Beyond
Myanmar, a nation situated between India, China and Southeast Asia, has long histories of colonialism, violence, and resource extraction. This special issue introduction, written in the midst of Myanmar's 2021 military coup and the COVID-19 pandemic, offers two critical and feminist interventions – 'remaking' and 'living with' – to understand the contested and embodied political geographies of extractive resource frontiers in Myanmar. 'Remaking' …
Critical geographies of smart development
The development of smart infrastructures is a political act that intersects, in powerful ways, with ongoing decolonial struggles across the uneven landscapes of the postcolonial world. This paper develops a grounded, relational approach to the critical geographies of smart development that starts from place‐based relations of power to investigate how specific postcolonial dynamics inflect the global articulation of smart development. Drawing on t…
In the law & on the land: Finding the female farmer in Myanmar's National Land Use Policy
This paper draws upon 12 months of activist research in Myanmar to examine how bureaucrats, activists, international development experts and rural women represented the female farmer during an unprecedented public negotiation of a critical agrarian policy. During National Land Use Policy consultations, antagonistic actors learned to behave like experts, rendered technical distinct ontologies of land, law, and gender to produce a bilingual, rights…

Reinvigorating resilience: Violence against women, land rights, and the women's peace movement in Myanmar
In Myanmar, movements for gender justice strive to foster personal and collective security, vibrant livelihoods, and political engagement during a period of rapid and uncertain transition. This article draws from the experience of the Gender Equality Network (GEN), a coalition of over 100 organisations in Myanmar. It examines three cases in which GEN sought to document existing forms of resilience and expand these mechanisms through national-leve…

Welcome to the Digital Village: Networking Geographies of Agrarian Change
Almost 5 billion people-two thirds of the global population-now go online. The Internet has changed how we work, learn, govern, and fall in love. Yet despite its digital turn, geography has failed to grapple with the patterns and significance of Internet connection for rural people and places, particularly in the Global South. This article brings together agrarian studies and digital geography to situate emergent online practices within longer tr…

Networks of Speculation: Making Land Markets on Myanmar Facebook
Digital platforms have changed how property is sold and valued in the Global North, yet little is known about digital tools in emerging land markets. Drawing on in situ and digital ethnography, we argue that Facebook plays a key role in making a new kind of market in Myanmar, one in which land is transformed into a speculative asset, exchanged across ever‐expanding networks. While commodification is familiar within longer histories of capitalism,…
New data infrastructures for environmental monitoring in Myanmar: Is digital transparency good for governance
The design and use of environmental data infrastructures, including software platforms, sensors, satellite data, mobile phone apps, and digitally generated visual representations, is increasingly inseparable from contemporary environmental governance. Such technologies are often intended to enable data transparency, which in turn is assumed to promote expanded participation in democratic governance. In this article, we investigate how environment…

Territorializing spatial data: Controlling land through One Map projects in Indonesia and Myanmar
Once confined to paper, national cartographic projects increasingly play out through spatial data infrastructures such as software programs and smartphones. Across the Global South, foreign donor-funded digital platforms emphasize transparency, accountability and data sharing while echoing colonial projects that consolidated state-based territorial knowledge. This article brings political geography scholarship on state and counter-mapping togethe…
