Temporalities of lead toxicity
This article critiques how established developmental theories can account for the intergenerational transmission of environmental harm, with lead exposure as a paradigmatic case of racialised, cumulative and temporally layered toxicity. While existing research has identified prenatal, childhood and multi-generational pathways of exposure, developmental theories largely presume single-generation, individual-level pollution exposures and therefore …
Are drugs bad for business (improvement districts)? Policy mobility, security planning, and frontier politics
This journal has previously published several articles on policy mobility, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Drug Consumption Rooms (DCRs), and security planning. Drawing upon this literature and through the unique lens of Belfast, our interest is twofold. First, as a “post-conflict city”, in what ways have policies on BIDs and DCRs become “embedded in place”? Second, what are the challenges in securing an appropriate site for a DCR, given t…
Conspiracist knowledge geographies and the potentiality of an impossible political alliance
This paper interrogates the epistemic and spatial dimensions of conspiracy theories through the lens of knowledge geographies, foregrounding the socio-spatial infrastructures that condition the emergence, circulation, and legitimization of conspiracism. In response to Ridgway's provocation concerning geographers’ aversion to conspiracy discourses, I critique the normative deployment of ‘conspiracy theory’ as a pathologizing category that obscures…
(Dealing with) Illegal Drugs and “Unwanted Land-Use”
This article discusses shifts in planning education. In particular, it highlights the future role of planners in the location of Drug Consumption Rooms (DCRs). The United Kingdom’s experiment with DCRs raises an important question for planning education and professional practice: are future planners adequately equipped to deal with the “frontier politics,” stakeholder reactions, and community views toward DCRs? This article reveals this is not th…
Living in the Wake of Rural Irish Troubles
During the thirty-year period (1968–1998) known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland, 3500 people died and thousands more suffered physical disabilities and psychological trauma. Belfast, among other conflict cities, helped inspire the term ‘dark tourism’ in 1989. The country continues to be in conflict but is officially in a period of peace. Northern Ireland has been the theme for much peace and reconciliation research, but literature to date con…
The conspiracy of Covid-19 and 5G
‘Constituent Covid-19 apocalypses
global cultural conspiracism. The paper explores how millennialist responses to Covid-19 in various media outlets transcend academic categories of analysis and cultural boundaries between, say, religious and secular, far-right and radical left. First explored is how the crisis became embedded in established (mainly American) contemporary millennial beliefs and prophecies through selected far-right, evangelical and radical left narratives. Second,…
Apocalyptic futures
In the context of Covid-19, anthropologists of medicine and religion alike may be tempted to join with the media in declaring that humanity is facing the end of the world as we know it. Indeed, as
Religion, neoliberalism, planning
This article adds to and develops extant work on the comparatively under-explored but important link between religion, neoliberalism, and planning. It is noticeable that mega/giga-churches are recalibrating the religious and physical landscapes of cities around the world; in so doing they raise important implications for professional planners. We focus on Green Pastures Church in Northern Ireland. The church has initiated a significant urban deve…
God’s just Gaza war
After the evacuation of the Gush Katif settlement and intensifying with the 2008–2009 Israeli War on Gaza, the border town of Sderot and its surrounding landscape became, for American Christian Zionists, a pilgrimage landscape and therefore a sacred space as it was performed as an event site portending the apocalypse. Christian Zionists interpreted the war and the landscape it took place on as a mise-en-scène of hope: the hollowing out of Gaza in…
Interventions in critical health geopolitics
Hal Lindsey’s geopolitical future
Hal Lindsey & Carlson’s, 1970 book, The Late Great Planet Earth, was the best-selling non-fiction book of the 1970s. In it, using the eschatology of premillennial dispensationalism commonly believed by American evangelicals, he conflates biblical prophecy with current geopolitical conflicts. He exploits the uncertainty of the nuclear age, civil rights movement, and ‘wars and rumours of wars’ in Asia by giving readers a certain explanation: Christ…
Feminist legal geographies of intimate-image sexual abuse
Women's rights are often curtailed online due to the pervasive internet atmosphere of cybermisogyny. Extreme examples include 'image-based sexual abuse', a term which encompasses the non-consensual creation and/or distribution of private sexual images. The harms attached to this phenomenon are well documented. In this paper, we explore how copyright logic, despite its male-centric and property oriented worldview, presents one legal solution to th…
William J. Smyth, Toronto, the Belfast of Canada
Thirty-two years ago in the pages of this journal, Houston and Smyth (1984) published an article titled “Transferred Loyalties: Orangeism in the United States and Ontario.” It illustrated the histo
Religion as nationalism
The term ‘religious nationalism’ is often theorized, at worst as antithetically conjunctive where religion is defined as the allegiance to God and nationalism is the allegiance to the nation, and at best as instrumental. I argue here that this fusion of religion and nationalism takes place most convincingly if we understand religion as adherent performance rather than solely as a theological container of tenants. I illustrate this through America…
Political socialization of youth
Religious Movements
This chapter justifies including religion within political geography research agendas that are not only about fundamentalist and millennial forms of religion. The everyday lives of religious movements and the more mundane forms of religions also influence the politics of space. Their inclusion creates a sustained discourse in political geography that takes religion seriously, not merely epiphenomenally. The chapter samples religious topics that s…
Religious Geopolitics of Palestinian Christianity
The introduction of Protestantism into the Middle East by American missionaries in the nineteenth century met with limited success while the responses and internalizations of local converts proved incredibly diverse. The two resultant theological descendants are Palestinian Christian Zionists and Palestinian Liberation Theologists. The article provides a short history of these two movements and highlights influential voices through interviews and…
The future of religious geopolitics
In this introduction to a special section on the future for research on the topic of religion and geopolitics, some terminological, theoretical, methodological and analytical possibilities are set out. A distinction is drawn between ‘religious geopolitics’ and the ‘geopolitics of religion’. Research published thus far on this intersection has limited thematic and topical scope. I further this critique by suggesting new theoretical and methodologi…
The Free Gaza Flotilla and the Christian Zionist Response
Repeated attempts by activists and aid volunteers to break Israel's unilaterally recognized borders around Gaza have been most often met with violent resistance from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In this paper, I argue that “Freedom Flotilla”, the ninth attempt at challenging Israel's blockade of Gaza by sea, has been challenged through a delegitimization campaign leveled on the behalf of powerful Christian Zionists. This campaign of discursiv…
Capitalism and Christianity, American Style by William E. Connolly
William E. Connolly , Capitalism and Christianity, American Style . Durham : Duke University Press , 2008 . ISBN 978-0-8223-4272-4 (paperback) At his best, this is classic William Connolly. It is fresh in theme and consistent in promoting his longstanding commitment to pluralism in this case with a programmatic twist outlining a visible way out of the American crisis of crony capitalism, apocalyptic evangelical doctrines, and environmental degrad…

Natural disasters as the end of the insurance industry? Scalar competitive strategies, Alternative Risk Transfers, and the economic crisis
The Christian Right, Eschatology, and Americanism
Prophetic Eyes
Geopolitical analysis has left religion in the margins and footnotes of its scholarship. This paper will help rectify this shortcoming. Evangelist Mark Hitchcock and his prophetic biblical interpretations have proliferated in the United States, influencing millions of Americans. Hitchcock's exegesis is based on four ‘evil’ geopolitical containers: the ‘Muslim alliance’, the ‘Roman Empire’, Russia, and the ‘kings of the Far East’. This paper will …
