Interlocutors for decolonial logics
In this commentary, I respond to Gibson's paper, calling for a thorough and robust engagement across political ecologies with the idea of interlocution-dialogues. Drawing on the work critiques from decolonial and postcolonial geographies, I argue that our focus on dialogues represents a significant epistemic move away from the logical, analytical enclosure explored by Gibson in her article. This shift becomes pivotal in questioning the practices …
Cosmohistories and pluriversal dialogues
When it comes to the ‘History of Geography’, many still think of something descriptive and conservative, which has virtually no links with the ‘future’, a metaphorical place where ‘progress’ and ‘advancements’ are usually located. The existence of such feelings exposes how some lingering positivistic views still remain in parts of the discipline that claimed to have got rid of positivism. In this commentary, we contend that the history of geograp…

Walking, knowing, and the limits of the map
Post-representational cartography views maps as inherently unstable and unfinished, always in the making and thus singularly open for refolding and re-presentation. This perspective on maps calls for greater attention to the performances, negotiations, and contestations that occur during the ongoing production of maps, particularly in cases where maps are developed during collective, collaborative, and participatory processes in Indigenous landsc…
Las "otras" geografías en América Latina
Este artículo se centra en las "otras" geografías, en las otras experiencias espacio-temporales de los pueblos indígenas, como expresiones igualmente válidas y subjetivas de la relación humano/no-humano que deben ser escuchadas y valoradas en un marco de diálogo horizontal. Esto está enmarcado en el trabajo realizado en conjunto con habitantes de comunidades chatinas de San Juan Lachao (Oaxaca, México), donde se reflexionó y examinó la relación q…
Historical Geographies of Anarchism
In the last few years, anarchism has been rediscovered as a transnational, cosmopolitan and multifaceted movement. Its traditions, often hastily dismissed, are increasingly revealing insights which inspire present-day scholarship in geography. This book provides a historical geography of anarchism, analysing the places and spatiality of historical anarchist movements, key thinkers, and the present scientific challenges of the geographical anarchi…
The Anarchist Roots of Geography
In 1882, conservative Parisian journalist Abert Delpit commented on the endorsing speech Élisée Reclus pronounced at the “free union” ceremony of his daughters Magali and Jeannie, who publicly celebrated the fact they went to live with two young men without any legal sanction from a mayor or a priest. Given that this event raised a huge scandal in French mainstream press, Delpit tried to explain the contradiction between the generalized praise of…
