Subtle potentials as emancipatory forces? Recasting the micropolitics of risk and disaster management
Drawing on the philosophy of movement and processes, the theory of attention and critical disaster and risk studies, this paper explores how the ways of dealing with alterity such as volcanic toxicity involve enacting the emergence of subtle potentials. These subtle potentials are moments of pure transformation in which alternatives to an inescapable and homogeneous future are realised while their subtle nature brings them into the periphery of o…
Unpacking climate services
In the last four decades, climate services (CS) have moved from being limited forecasting tools in their predictive capacity to becoming involved in the shaping of risk assessment instruments with global reach affected to enhance adaptation to climate change. Yet, they have been relatively overlooked by human geographers and critical risk theorists, whose interests have been to document the political processes involved in shaping climate change a…
The Anthropocene and the Challenge of Implicated Time
What can adaptation to climate-related hazards tell us about the politics of time making? Exploring durations and temporal disjunctures through the 2013 London heat wave
Fatal Isolation
Fatal Isolation: The Devastating Paris Heat Wave of 2003." Modern & Contemporary France, 24(2), pp. 227–228
Models of best practice in flood risk communication and management
Risk communication plays an increasingly central role in flood risk management, but there is a variety of conflicting advice about what does – and should – get transmitted, why, how, and to whom. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the underlying normative and conceptual models on which those competing assessments of ‘good’ risk communication depend. To that end, the paper identifies four broad models, or approaches, to risk communication: a ri…
Nationalism, (Dis)simulation, and the Politics of Science in Québec's Forest Crisis
This article explores the controversy over the management of the boreal forest of Québec in Canada. Most academic attention describing forest conflicts in North America has focused on the polarity between environmental nongovernmental organizations and First Nations on the one hand and the forest industry lobby and scientific forestry on the other, but little has been said about the role played by nationalism in orchestrating the overexploitation…
