Industrial dynamics on the commodity frontier
Research in political ecology and agrarian political economy has shown how commodity frontiers are constituted through the appropriation and transformation of nature. This work identifies two broad processes of socio-metabolism associated with commodity frontiers: the spatial extension of nature appropriation, via expanding territorial claims to the control and use of natural resources and associated acts of dispossession (commodity-widening); an…
Storing value
As Marx pointed out in the second volume of Capital, storage is a critical moment in the circulation of capital. Yet, despite the resurgent interest in the political economy of circulation, logistics, and infrastructures, commodity storage remains under-examined in critical human geography. This paper examines the "hidden abode" of storage by tracing attempts to control moisture and realize value in two different commodity chains: Newfoundland sa…
Black Monday, 1894
Recent work in political ecology and more-than-human geography has highlighted the foundational role that nonhumans play in actively shaping politics. More than simply resources over which humans wage political battles, this work contends that nonhumans must be considered political actors in their own right. Building on this research, this paper examines a political-economic crisis in the Dominion of Newfoundland: the bank crash of 1894. I demons…

Market monstrosity in industrial fishing
Through a materialist reading of the aesthetic, this paper explores Leviathan, a project of visual anthropology produced by Harvard University’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, in order to reflect on the urbanization of nature as it is advanced by the more-than-human scripture of power objectified in the technologized, capital-intensive spaces of transnational fishing. With its idiosyncratic and technically elaborate mode of representation, Leviathan re…
Natural Resources
Natural resources are commonly understood as any part of the nonhuman world that satisfies a human want or need. This entry challenges the conventional definition by arguing that natural resources are dynamic, not static, relational, not fixed, and irreducibly social, rather than exclusively biophysical. The geographical implications of this definition are then examined by thinking through the contradiction between fixity and motion in the classi…
Marine Fish Farming and the Blue Revolution
The Blue Revolution promises to transform wild marine fish into docile domesticates, fish hunters into harvesters. As commercially fished marine species continue to face extinction in the wild due to over-fishing, pollution, global climate change and a host of other anthropo-genic assaults, ‘culture’ has emerged as a keyword in the field of marine fisheries management. Like the terrestrial dreams and grandiose visions of their Green comrades a ha…
