Ambivalent threads of repair
This article draws out the spaces and practices through which embodied knowledge of Yao embroidery is being transmitted – and transformed – in a Yao ethnic minority boarding school in south China. Yao embroidery is an indigenous folk craft traditionally passed down the female line of the Yao ethnic group. Whilst cultural geographers have turned to explore the continuation of craft practices in an affirmative register, we want to sound a more ambi…
Embodying industrial transitions
Geographical and interdisciplinary literatures often focus on the enduring losses engendered by industrial closure and economic change, describing the moment of deindustrialisation as a cut in the fabric of history. In this imaginary, people and place become suspended in the past, through ‘melancholy’ logics of attachment, ruination and loss. The aim of this article is to reorient these melancholy temporalities by demonstrating memory's central, …
Desire’s misrecognitions, or the promise of mutable attachments
Desire orients us to how attachments are dis/re/organised in lived time. This commentary responds to Anderson's article on attachments and promises by speculating on a version of attachment that starts from Berlant's writing on desire, supplementing the geography of promises that Anderson situates at the heart of attachment. By generating scrambled surfaces and mixed temporalities, attachment through desire emerges as something organised less by …
What should we do with bad feelings? Negative affects, impotential responses
Bad feelings are everywhere. When faced with this situation in our empirical encounters or conceptual analyses, most socio-spatial research is committed to making things right again, with an eye to unleashing new potentials for action by repairing bad feeling. Yet this ‘ethics of rehabilitation’ assumes both the inherent possibility and ethical desirability of working away those affects that are deemed to be ‘negative’. We argue that this activat…
Holding Tightly
Negativity
This paper reflects on the status of 'negativity' in contemporary social and geographical thought. Based on a panel discussion held at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting 2021, each contributor discusses what negativity means to them, and considers its various legacies and potential future trajectories. Along the way, the contributors offer ways of attending to negative spaces (voids, abysses, absences), affects (vulnerabilitie…
Noisy Field Exposures, or what comes before attunement
Before attunement comes exposure, the necessary fact of being a body. This photo essay is a play on two meanings of the word exposure: corporeal exposure and photographic exposure. I offer the latter in order to stay with moments of the former, exposing multiple scenes of misattunement from fieldwork in a small country town in regional Australia. Picking up the classic distinction in information theory between signal and noise, this piece pauses …
Experiential Attunements in an Illuminated City at Night
This article traces stories of singular footsteps taken on a collective meandering through Brisbane city, as a pedagogical experiment in writing for geographers. The diverse encounters recounted here took place as part of an extended workshop on the topic of light, beginning with an afternoon discussion, and ending in an evening walk through the illuminated city. This paper aims to do two things through the example of light: firstly, it explores …
Im/mobilising the migration decision
This paper reconsiders the concept of the decision in geographical research on migration by refracting it through contemporary "mobilities" thinking. In doing so, I seek to develop an approach attentive to the way migrations take hold and persist in space and time. Whilst conceptualisations of the decision in migration have moved beyond their individualist heritage, sovereign models of strong agency remain implicit, often unintentionally conflati…
