Working with “Safety”: Researching Oil-Spill-Impacted Communities in the Niger Delta
Through the example of research on the impact of oil spills on Niger Delta communities and landscapes, this study addresses the complexities of doing research in places that have been framed as problematic, and how concerns around the diverse risks posed to the safety of researcher and research participants might be negotiated. For an academic born and raised in Nigeria, the initial intent was to research “in the field” in person, using focus gro…
Mining an Anthropocene in Japan: On the making and work of geological imaginaries
Geology firmly underpins Anthropocene debate, and in particular an Earth Systems Science (ESS) rendering of how lithic and yet‐to‐be‐lithified (or ‘drift’) material, including the tangible evidence of a state‐sponsored carbon capitalism, is reconstituted by anthropogenically ‘forced’ physical processes. The prevalence of this approach hinges in large part on the authority afforded Geology as a science that names, classifies and explains these mat…
In the breach: Feeling the heat of climate change
The increased likelihood of extreme heat events is a profoundly important aspect of our global climate emergency, and yet the link between weather and climate remains a difficult subject to communicate. Here, I focus on a graphic that is on its way to becoming viral: Warming Stripes. Warming Stripes use a simple two-colour spectral palette – tints of blue and red, long a feature of weather maps – to signal relative yearly temperatures. Eschewing …
Drift in an Anthropocene: On the work of terrain
As geographers confront the manifold challenges of an Anthropocene, so the framing of geography as the critical study of space – a framing that took hold of theory and practice in the 20th century and that searched for antecedents as well as prognostications – is increasingly splayed across the long durée of geography as the interrogation of the nature of human being as well as the Earthly environment and the constitutive relations between these.…
From Becoming-Geology to Geology-Becoming: Hashima as Geopolitics
Malawi Stories: Mapping an art-science collaborative process
This paper outlines a project drawing together an artist working on creative GIS, a geomatics scholar, an NGO leader, a rural geographer and soil scientist, an environmental geochemist, and a political geographer. With a shared interest in the social and physical processes affecting people’s lives in Malawi, and the possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration, the team engaged in practice-based mapping of our data sources and respective met…
Repurposing feminist geopolitics: On estrangement, exhaustion and the end of the solar system
No abstract available
The Perturbations of Drift in a Stratified World
Though its ‘Golden Age’ in the nineteenth century has long since passed, Geology has recently been reanimated as a controversial and contentious subject, certainly, but also as an expert mode of knowing that provides a surety and confidence during a time of turbulence. The ‘Anthro’ prefix to Anthropocene debates has doubly implicated human beings as God-like agents of an exponential, carbon-fuelled planetary transformation but also as members of …
Difference
Difference is crucial to geographic inquiry not only as an object of analysis in and of itself, but also as a means of locating and sorting other objects ready for analysis. In a diverse and often diffuse disciplinary landscape, two key shifts can be discerned in regard to how difference is understood and debated. The first revolves around the charge of essentialism, as difference as a matter of the distinctness of objects/events and their core a…
GeoHumanities
The recent emergence of geohumanities signals a cross‐disciplinary and a transdisciplinary engagement with themes of space and place. As a loosely structured field of inquiry, geohumanities combines a long‐standing humanities interest in the Earth, dating back to the Renaissance, with much more recent developments in the digital humanities and creative uses of geographic information science ( GIScience ). This entry explores these varying genealo…
Nature, Art, and Aesthetics
Though much of geography today makes little explicit reference to either art or aesthetics, both are nevertheless key to the emergence of the discipline as a modern mode of inquiry into nature. Artistic practice, using diverse mediums, has helped physical as well as human geographers think through and convey the import of particular landscape features, while aesthetics has underpinned a multisensuous engagement with the environment through an exp…
Feminist Geopolitics: Material States
What can unfold from an engagement of feminist issues, concerns and practices with the geopolitical? How does feminism allow for a reconfiguration of how these two elements, the geo- and the -political, are understood and related? What kinds of objects can be located and put into motion? What kinds of relations can be drawn between these? What kinds of practice become valued? And, what is glossed or rendered absent in the process? In this thought…
Engaging Hashima: Memory Work, Site-Based Affects, and the Possibilities of Interruption
How is memory embodied, narrated, interrupted, and reworked? Here, we take a postphenomenological approach to memory work that is attentive to how site-based affects prompt and ossify, but also transmogrify, memory of place. With reference to an intensely traumatized, but also domesticated and entropied, environment—the island of Hashima, off the coast from Nagasaki City in Japan—we demonstrate the relevance and explanatory reach of culturally sp…
One Sinister Hurricane: Simondon and Collaborative Visualization
This article offers a theory and methodology for understanding and interpreting collaborations that involve visualization technologies. The collaboration discussed here is technically a geovisualization—an immersive, digital “fulldome” film of Hurricane Katrina developed by the Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, produced in collaboration with atmospheric scientists at the National Center for…
Commentary 2: On spatial turns and ecological urgency
The way of the flesh: Life, Geopolitics and the Weight of the Future
How can a feminist materialism problematise the knowledges and practices of geopolitics, and locate new objects for critical analysis? In the following, I acknowledge how geopolitics as a form of statecraft has been preoccupied with the unruly nature of flesh. I also note how an accounting for flesh as a socio-spatial material has helped to animate both a critical geopolitical inquiry concerned with the inscription of bodies alongside other texts…
The tactile topologies of Contagion
Can we reconfigure recent work on topological space, so productively brought to bear in an understanding of power in geography, to understand the spatialities of and among flesh, objects and viral life? Here we expand on topology via touch – a ‘tactile topology’ – that focuses on the material connections among mobile bodies. The engine of topological transformation thus becomes the various materials and forces that grab onto each other, interpene…
Rhythm and Mobility in the Inner and Outer Hebrides: Archipelago as Art-Science Research Site
This paper explores some of the dimensions of mobility and rhythm emerging from a voyage to the Inner and Outer Hebrides, island collectives on the North West Coast of Scotland. In the summer of 2011, this voyage, combining boat, water and islands, as well as their inhabitants, became a research site for members of Cape Farewell, an organisation that seeks to produce creative responses to climate change. Crew members specifically sought to consid…

The Future of Ruins: The Baroque Melancholy of Hashima
Here, we present an iteration of our theoretical/creative writing project Hashima, begun in 2012. The paper is a collaboration and draws on the different discourses, practices and sensibilities of a performance theorist, a geographer, and a visual artist. For us, Hashima, located off the coast of Nagasaki, Japan, and a former site of forced labor and intensive offshore coal-mining, is a provocation for experimentation. Hashima, exploited and abje…
Wonder, horror and the hunt for La Bête in mid-18th century France
Monsters, monstrousness, and monstrous nature/s
Golem geographies
In our response, below, we undertake a deeper engagement with one of the authors, Elizabeth Grosz, that a number of the respondents have evoked, implicitly as well as explicitly, in their response to our text and, in particular, Grosz's arguments on art as of the chaotic and of the animal. Whilst our comments on the bowerbird speak to the artistry involved in a sexuated mode of reproduction that increases biological difference, we emphasise an ab…

Introduction: Feminist engagements with geopolitics
Here, we introduce a themed set of articles that, using diverse feminist knowledges and practices, aims to expose the force relations that operate through and upon bodies, such that particular ‘geopolitical’ subjectivities are enhanced, constrained and put to work, and particular corporealities are violated, exploited and often abandoned. The substantive scope of these articles highlights the relevance of such feminist analysis, not as a universa…
Creating the semi‐living: On Politics, Aesthetics and the More‐than‐human
Though geographers have remarked on the aesthetic and political character of a technoscientific biology, there has been an accompanying tendency, following disciplinary trends and social theory more broadly, to read these as being separate issues at the analytic as well as substantive level. Whereas the former becomes read as a matter of artistic practice and appreciation, or visual appraisal, the latter is considered to be the exercise of power …
Geographies of Touch/Touched by Geography
Considerable attention within geography has been paid to the physiologies, knowledges and practices that give substance and import to the senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch - and the manner in which these work alone, or in concert, to facilitate particular forms of relations between and amongst people, other life forms and objects. This article takes stock of the manner in which touch has entered into these debates and in particular …
Of human birds and living rocks: Remaking aesthetics for post-human worlds
Geographers have long pondered post-human worlds. And yet, whilst such analyses have explored the natural and physical sciences as a means of articulating the relationalities and commonalities that span species and kingdoms, an explicit consideration of the aesthetic has been largely absent. To a degree, this is because the aesthetic has been understood as a `humanist remain'. Here, we want to make a stronger claim for the value of the aesthetic …
The blade and the claw: Science, Art and the Creation of the Lab-Borne Monster
Here I outline some of the fears, as well as some of the desires, associated with the lab-borne \nmonster as manifest in the emergent genre of critical BioArt. Using a recent installation on \nDisembodied Cuisine to ground my discussion, I look first to the chimeric character of \nbiotechnology per se, as well as the hybridised practices and products of this close \ncollaboration between Science and Art. I then take the opportunity to explore how…
My Dinner with Derrida, or Spatial Analysis and Poststructuralism Do Lunch
Menu. This paper extends our previous efforts to (de)lineate contemporary divisions between poststructuralist and spatial analytic, or scientific, approaches in geography. We adopt the format of a dialogue between a hypothetical spatial analyst (SA) and a poststructuralist (PS). Their exchange covers, among other items, the differing stances of these approaches to epistemology, ontology, research questions and methods, and the concept of 'context…

Cultivating Discourse: The Social Construction of Agricultural Legislation
In this article we initiate a critical analysis of the discursive geographies from which U.S. agricultural legislation has been constructed. First, we refer to the geography of discourse, which consists of the production, dissemination, and consumption of ideas, concepts, theories, and understandings. Specifically, we trace the emergence and development of an American agrarian discourse, constituted from a wealth of ideas and theories concerning …
For a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Scientific Geography
Contemporary geographic thought finds scientific approaches triangulated by critiques launched by various political economy, feminist, and poststructuralist positions. In aiming their conceptual arsenal at fixed understandings of scientific geography, however, such critiques run the danger of essentializing their intended target. Moreover, in the consequent stabilization of the trajectories taken by these critiques, the process of criticism itsel…
A benevolent and sceptical inquiry: Exploring `Fortean Geographies' with the Mothman
In this article I delineate the character of a determinedly non-academic, yet avowedly critical body of literature, namely Forteanism. I begin by outlining the goals and objectives of Forteanism as it strives to establish a `critical space' for itself through its relationship with mainstream science and popular accounts of the paranormal. Forteanism treats both as economies of belief, focusing attention on the practices by which reports of the an…

I hear dead people: Science, Technology and a Resonant Universe
In recent years the simplistic categorization of Victorian practices and beliefs as either ‘occult’ or ‘scientific’ has been undercut by a series of revisionist analyses that point to an over-arching concern with influence and effect, a concern that was manifest across the sciences and humanities and beyond into popular culture. This paper sets out to further problematize such a distinction via an exploration of twentieth-century research into el…

Introduction: Monstrous Irruptions
Scream: The Sound of the Monstrous
What does the monstrous sound like? Using the case of Living TV's Most Haunted, a paranormal investigative show that brings together a team of believers, sceptics and undecided, I want to articulate an answer to this question by drawing upon literatures from feminist psychoanalysis, performance and media studies that address the nature of screaming. Specifically, I emphasize how the scream has functioned as a focal point for both the 'monstrous-f…

A Woman's Place in the Crab Processing Industry of Eastern Carolina
Traditionally, most of the pickers used in the crab processing industry of rural Eastern Carolina have been women from the local area, both black and white, while the managerial staff has comprised white women related through kinship to the white, male crab house owners. In recent years, however, this recruitment strategy has changed. Following the lead of the regional poultry industry, the crab houses are now bringing in Mexican workers under th…

Between Worlds: Considering Celtic feminine identities in The Secret of Roan Inish
This article explores the ways in which Celtic oral traditions concerning the 'place' of women are replayed within a contemporary textual form, namely the 1995 film, The Secret of Roan Inish. Through an examination of the representation of gender relations within the film, we address how the incorporation of mythic elements is intended to provide a sense of female 'empowerment'. While the film has been praised for its positive portrayal of Irish …

Confronting the Geopolitical Aesthetic: Fredric Jameson,The Perfumed Nightmareand the Perilous Place of Third Cinema
This essay explores the conceptual limitations within Fredric Jameson's notion of the geopolitical aesthetic through an analysis of Jameson's now classic reading of The Perfumed Nightmare; this film is central to his concept of the utopic character of film more generally and, moreover, to his argument on the embeddedness of Third World representations within a global, capitalist system. We suggest that, although Jameson acknowledges the underlyin…
Imagining Geographies of films
To the extent that the geographic study of film has come of age, it is important to not only tie it to disciplinary issues but also to push theoretical boundaries. Geographic concern is often lacking a critical perspective, focusing primarily on the geographic realism of films rather than how they produce meaning. Geographers needed to elaborate insights through critical spatial theories, so that our studies are not only about filmic representati…
