Reassembling Caribbean Energy? Petrocaribe, (Post-)Plantation Sovereignty, and Caribbean Energy Futures
In this paper, we probe the possibilities and limits of Petrocaribe, a Venezuelan-led oil alliance that has shaped energy and development initiatives in the Caribbean basin since the mid 2000s, as well as U.S. responses to the program. Drawing from a range of sources, including interviews with regional actors and leaked diplomatic cables from Wikileaks, we describe some of the contours of these competing regional energy assemblages, and analyze h…
Geographies of renewable energy transition in the Caribbean: Reshaping the island energy metabolism
Greenhouse governmentality: Protected agriculture and the changing biopolitical management of agrarian life in Jamaica
This paper draws upon Foucauldian theories of governmentality and biopower to examine the recent growth of greenhouse cultivation on the island of Jamaica. Greenhouse farming has been widely promoted as a means to enhance the efficiency, technological sophistication, and profitability of the island's traditional small-scale farmers. Following Foucault, and drawing on a series of interviews with greenhouse growers, we read this intervention as for…
Researching the hybrid geographies of climate change: Reflections from the field
This special section grew out of a series of sessions on ‘Mixed methods and hybrid epistemologies’ at the A ssociation of A merican G eographers annual meetings in 2013 and 2014. The five papers that comprise it each examine climate change as a mixed or hybrid entity, and consider some of the theoretical and methodological tensions associated with contemporary climate change research. In so doing, the authors reflect on the challenges of field‐ba…
A social justice framing of climate change discourse and policy: Adaptation, resilience and vulnerability in a Jamaican agricultural landscape
Cultivating new and more ethical calculative agencies
Readers familiar with the work of J.K. Gibson-Graham and the wider Community Economies Collective will know already that their writings and action research projects have made important contribution
Neoliberalization, Transnational Migration, and the Varied Landscape of Economic Subjectivity in the Totonacapan Region of Veracruz
Over the past two decades, many of Mexico's rural communities have been faced with significant challenges arising from two interrelated processes: the neoliberal restructuring of rural policy and citizenship, and the dramatic increase in transnational migration. The ways in which local communities experience and respond to such changes, however, are variable. We examine the intersection of neoliberal socioeconomic change and transnational migrati…
Because You Got to Have Heat”: The Networked Assemblage of Energy Poverty in Eastern North Carolina
Current discussions of energy policy seldom acknowledge the problem of energy poverty, a situation in which a household cannot afford to adequately heat or cool the home. In this article, we examine the concept of energy poverty and describe some of its contours in a rural part of North Carolina. Energy poverty, we suggest, is best viewed as a geographical assemblage of networked materialities and socioeconomic relations. To illustrate this appro…
Climate Change, Drought, and Jamaican Agriculture: Local Knowledge and the Climate Record
The purpose of this study is to reach a basic understanding of drought and climate change in southwestern Jamaica through an integration of local knowledge and perception of drought and its physical characteristics manifested in remotely sensed precipitation and vegetation data. Local knowledge and perception are investigated through a survey of sixty farmers in St. Elizabeth Parish and physical characteristics of drought are examined through sta…
Re-Envisioning the City: Lefebvre, Hope VI, and the Neoliberalization of Urban Space
This study draws upon the urban theory of Henri Lefebvre to examine HOPE VI, a public housing demolition and redevelopment program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Hailed as a new approach to urban policy, the HOPE VI program embodies many of the key tenets of neoliberal urbanization, including an emphasis on entrepreneurial forms of urban regeneration and a focus on individual responsibility. To provide a len…
Geography and ethics: Non-Representational Encounters, Collective Responsibility and Economic Difference
Geography and ethics: Spaces of cosmopolitan responsibility
I In search of perpetual peace In the final decades of the eighteenth century, Immanuel Kant set forth his now paradigmatic vision of what he called a ‘universal cosmopolitan condition’ among states, ‘a peaceful, if not yet friendly and universal community of all peoples on the earth who can come into active relations with one another’ (Kant, 2006: 146). Kant pointed out that all human beings share ‘the right of common possession of the surface o…
Geography and Ethics: Everyday Mediations Through Care and Consumption
Some months ago, in preparation for compil-ing the next three geography and ethicsreports, I registered with one of the commonelectronic database services to receive thetitles of journal articles focused on ethics.There are two things that I found noteworthyabout this exercise. The first is the sheer vol-ume of contemporary work on ethics - by myrather unscientific reckoning, something ofthe order of 1500 articles dealing with ethicsare published…
