Heretical freedoms
This commentary explores Whitehead and Hannah's engagement with Paul Ricœur's conception of freedom. Their account frames freedom as an emergent, embodied experience negotiated between voluntary and involuntary conditions, challenging notions of autonomy and structural determinism. Drawing on Nancy's co-existential ontology and Esposito's ideas of community and immunity, this commentary poses freedom the challenge of the we – of thinking the expe…
Big ugly lumps? (Counter)terrorism and the everyday atmospheres of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation
Adopting an atmospheric lens on the everyday and open-ended crisis of contemporary terror threats in cities in Western Europe, this article unpicks the contemporary logics, desires, and effects of the State in matters of urban counterterrorism by exploring the felt qualities and dispositions of the public around Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures in Birmingham (UK). It argues that the atmospheres around counterterrorism that security offic…
Atmospheric geographies of (counter)terrorism
How are terror threats and counterterrorism measures experienced in everyday urban spaces? We argue that thinking atmospherically about the spaces of urban encounters with (counter)terrorism is important, firstly, to identify and question feelings and dispositions shaped by discourses, practices, and infrastructures of (counter)terrorism; secondly, to contribute spatial perspectives of felt experience to literatures on security and (counter)terro…
Feeling redundancy
Redundant. Adjective meaning: no longer needed or useful; superfluous; no longer in employment due to no more work available; able to be omitted without loss of meaning or function; not strictly necessary to functioning of system/other components. Redundancy, and being at risk of being made redundant, is an increasingly felt circumstance in contemporary higher education. As the impacts of a range of neoliberal educational reforms unfold against a…
Elemental mobilities: Atmospheres, Matter and Cycling Amid the Weather-World
Everyday experiences of movement have become a central concern for social and cultural geography in recent years. Work here has begun to unpack the specific meanings, imaginaries and experiences that come to be bound up with mobile bodies and their practices. However, it has been suggested that more could be done to examine the material, elementary, molecular and physical aspects of movement which are significant to the experience of being on the…
Postphenomenology and Method: Styles for Thinking the (Non)Human
Recently cultural geographers have become increasingly interested in postphenomenological ways of thinking. This article develops a distinct postphenomenological style of analysis. Such a style is twofold, referring both to a style of conceptualizing and writing about objects and a concern for those objects’ style. Drawing on the example of the television show In the Night Garden, the article demonstrates two postphenomenological styles of though…
Refrains for moving bodies: Experience and Experiment in Affective Spaces
Refrains for Moving Bodies marks a significant intervention into the on-going evolution of non-representational styles of thought. It is significant for a number of reasons. Firstly, Refrains for M
Spacing the subject: Thinking subjectivity after non-representational theory
This paper reviews work in geography concerned with the spatialities of "the subject" after non-representational theory (NRT). The paper looks at what talking about "the subject" might refer to, particularly amid the aftermath of the decentering of the subject that took place in the latter part of the 20th century across the humanities and social sciences. The paper then provides an overview of the impacts that NRT has had on how geographers have…
Just What Is Narrative Urgency
This paper takes as its main point of departure a body of empirical research on reading and text processing, and makes particular reference to the type of experiments conducted in Broadly put, these experiments (i) explore the psychology of readers' preferences for narrative outcomes, (ii) examine the way readers react to characters' goals and actions, and (iii) investigate how readers tend to identify with characters' goals the more 'urgently' t…

Egyptian Core Glass Vessels from Sinai
The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, has 976 fragments of Egyptian core glass vessels registered as from Petrie's expedition to Sinai in 1904-5. Then can be attributed more specifically to Serabit el-Khadem, and constitute the largest collection of Egyptian core glass found outside Egypt. This strengthens the parallels between Serabit el-Khadem and the recently published site of Timna, and the similarity of the two raises interesting points about the di…
