Is there a political-ecological arrangement that can explain the perpetual futurity of genocide? How to account for the human body in the larger Earthly distribution of matter, when we notice that we, too, are food for other animals? And what does that do to our conception of mass murder in this time-less, creaturely grind? This paper hazards a response to these questions through reading Abdulrazak Gurnah’s novels set in German East Africa, namel…
The Eco-Algorithmic Border
This article theorizes the eco-algorithmic border as a key formation in the convergence of artificial intelligence, environmental governance, and global border regimes. We argue that AI technologies are increasingly deployed to intensify forms of border violence that frame environmental protection as incompatible with human mobility. This alignment enables the consolidation of anti-migrant and climate-sceptical politics under the guise of technol…
The future’s impossible disciplines
In this commentary, I want to stay with three questions: where exactly are we talking about when we are talking about the geographies of the impossible? Is speculative method necessarily transformative? What happens when we base our vision for future research on seeking new territory rather than examining regimes of production of our own geographical knowledge
Behrouz Boochani on Manus Island
This article makes a case for reframing refugee literature through reading Behrouz Boochani’s No Friend but the Mountains, translated from Farsi by Omid Tofighian. Written in detention on Manus Island via text messages on WhatsApp, Boochani’s book has won wide acclaim in Australia and internationally, not only among literary critics, but as a work of popular appeal in writers’ festivals and cultural prizes. The popular narrative around No Friend …
The Boochani effect
The mediagenic publicity of the multiple prize-winning Kurdish Iranian author Behrouz Boochani has elevated him to an emblematic status for the struggles of refugees, and his 2018 book, No Friend but the Mountains, into a mega-text. These promotional strategies are marked by the mutation of humanitarian awards into convertible cultural capital in the Australian literary field. This article argues that the dissemination of Boochani’s image is qual…

Antipodeanism, and Charles Dickens’ Imperialist Undertakings in Depicting Australia
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was, at once, the most prominent English novelist of the mid-nineteenth century and one of the most industrious workers in facilitating the emigration of the British lower classes to colonial Australia. Throughout his novelistic and journalistic depictions of Australia, Dickens draws upon the textual tradition of the imaginary construction of the southern continent. His writings, therefore, function as complementing pi…
