Visuality, temporality, and the uncertain geopolitics of the Russo-Ukrainian war
This Symposium interrogates the relationship between the spatial, the temporal, and the visual in a war-affected society. Several leading researchers working on Ukraine in multiple disciplinary fields examine how combining the visual and the (unseen) temporal are vital for understanding the new and uncertain spatial configurations that emerge from the displacement and stress of conflict and bordering. These interventions aim to amplify the voices…
Active involvement in alcohol care: A community case study in coproduction
This is a descriptive case study of a public engagement group of people who have used alcohol care services. Involvement of people with lived and living experience is increasingly recognized as essential in health and social care policy. However, in alcohol care services, such involvement remains underdeveloped and sometimes tokenistic. This community case study outlines the establishment, development, and impact of the ACTIVE (Alcohol Care Team …
The Russian–Ukraine war and a polyphonic geopolitics
This contention sets out some of the key contradictions and tensions surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There is no master variable that can offer a resolution as to why this war came about or how it will play out. However, analysing its contradictions, inconsistencies and tensions can yield critical insights into the far-reaching consequences of the conflict. The war takes place in a world in flux where modernist territorial structures an…
Geopolitics and Memorialisation of Borders
Geopolitics pervades memorialisation of borders worldwide. Border heritage sites commonly form powerful geopolitical bordering by creating myths of division and difference to serve the nation-state, and secure hegemonic narratives. Attention to multiplicity and polyphony of border memorialisation voices reveals coincidence and collision of memories and spatial orders to form resistance to the illusionary hegemonic border. Multiple temporalities m…
Geopolitical encounters and entanglements along the belt and road initiative
This survey brings into conversation diverse literatures on geopolitics in order to interrogate one of the most visible geopolitical projects of our age, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The paper provides a brief review of the main geopolitical approaches that are being applied to the BRI, including classical, critical, radical, assemblage and feminist perspectives. While feminist and assemblage approaches to the BRI are positioned as a w…
Nowcasting and the Use of Big Data in Short-Term Macroeconomic Forecasting: A Critical Review
The revolution, which is quite recent, brought about by digital convergence and connected objects, has enabled a homogenisation of data types which would historically have been considered as different, for example: digital data, texts, sound, still images, and moving images. This has encouraged the Big Data phenomenon, the volume of which includes two related parameters: quantity and frequency of acquisition; quantity can extend as far as exhaust…
The Geopolitical Legacy of the Russian Revolution
The essays collected in this forum discuss the geopolitical legacy of the Russian Revolution of 1917, one of the most momentous political events of the twentieth century. From a range of different academic disciplines and perspectives, the authors consider how the profound transformations in society and politics were refracted through space and geography, and how enduring these refractions proved to be. The authors focus on three themes that have…
Doing Things with Wood: Builders, Managers and Wittgenstein in an Idaho Sawmill
■ Centered upon fieldwork as union labor in an Idaho sawmill, this article investigates the relation between labor, language and rules on the one hand, manager and managed on the other. Wittgenstein's `builders' - a form of life he created to show the relation between language and action - help us understand the sawmill's labor process and demonstrate how language, when used to rule practical action, `bewitches'. Wittgenstein, though often though…
Making Democracy Matter: Identity and Activism in Los Angeles by Karen Brodkin
Social movements are seen as a way to revive democratic participation and catalyze change in an age when institutions increasingly escape the boundaries of established constituencies.Karen Brodkin, in Making Democracy Matter: Identity and Activism in Los Angeles, introduces us to a new generation of social movement activists nurtured in Los Angeles, committed to organizing immigrant workers and other "working-class people of color."Brodkin's book…
Two-Tier Kin: Imagining and Contesting Familism in a UAW Local
Familism, as used by Don Kalb, is a process whereby companies shape families to reproduce a flexible labor force. Familism, I argue, is inseparable from how we imagine the family: the family at work and the work of the family. This paper looks at how familial relatedness, namely union siblingship, played a role in conflict over a two-tier wage system being implemented in a Detroit-area auto plant. Engaging with recent ideas about kinship, social …
