Whose sidewalk is it? Street vendors and the battle for San Diego’s foodscape
Urban governments have become increasingly involved in gastrodevelopment, managing and monitoring foodscapes to stimulate growth. In that context, sidewalk vendors' access to urban space has been fiercely debated in many cities. Stressing their informality, some argue that vendors activate public space, provide valuable services, and encourage entrepreneurship, while others emphasize the threats they pose to public safety, health, and competing b…
Best for Foodies
Leisure activities, including place-based food experiences, have become central to defining urban identities and branding places. Mobile and affluent urbanites' search for authentic and cosmopolitan experiences is increasingly guided by corporate digital media such as apps and websites that direct them to previously ignored working-class, ethnic and immigrant neighborhoods, which are being discursively and materially reconfigured to meet their ne…
Relational space and place and food environments
Interviews
Interviews are a people‐oriented research methodology for data collection in which participants answer questions and prompts. In an interview, participants construct their own accounts of experiences and raise issues that researchers may not have anticipated. Interviews are a useful method to investigate issues in‐depth in a variety of settings and are used by geographers across many subdisciplines. There are different types of interviews; the ty…
"Ethnic markets and community food security in an urban "food desert
In recent years, the concept of food desert has come to dominate research and policy debates around food environments and their impacts on health, with mounting evidence that low-income neighborhoods of color lack large supermarkets and therefore may have limited access to fresh, affordable, and healthy foods. We argue that this metaphor, which implies an absence of food, is misleading and potentially detrimental to the health of poor and raciall…
Food Journeys
We examine the everyday food practices of a group of high school students living in an urban, multicultural, and lower income community in San Diego, California. We integrate theoretical and empirical insights from research in health, food, and youth geographies and offer a relational conceptualization and analysis of the food environment that is sensitive to young people's everyday mobilities and encounters with food. We pay particular attention…
A doubly articulated cartography of children and media as affective networks-at-play
With increasing concerns surrounding children's agency and questions of the impacts of globalizing media, it is imperative to critically explore how interactions with media objects become part of children's social lives. Working through Deleuzian-Guattarian ideas of what bodies are and do, we approach child–media interactions as horizontal components of becoming. Through this, we argue that media objects can be important social elements of the em…
Spaces of contention
This collection brings together a series of essays aiming to show the centrality of different and overlapping spatial relations in the dynamics of activism and social movements. Besides a clear and
Women and children in a neighborhood advocacy group
This article looks at the community participation of recent Latina immigrant mothers and their children in a neighborhood advocacy group near the US–Mexico border. It documents the work that women and children do as they struggle to become involved in their new community and improve their quality of life – despite legal, social, economic and cultural obstacles. Local context, family and ethnic networks, gendered patterns of women's experiences as…
For not limiting emotional and affectual geographies
Play, work or activism? Broadening the connections between political and children's geographies
Scholarship on children often fails to consider the impact of children's agency from a political perspective. Recent literature in political and children's geography has begun affording children the possibility of being political actors. Attention to the differences that children bring and make through their everyday becomings – what children often do – permits recognizing a range of children's activities as political work. Examples from children…
Racial geographies and the challenges of day labor formalization
Recent debates surrounding immigration in the United States have brought renewed attention to day laborers. In their search for employment, day laborers temporarily occupy public and quasi-public spaces. The visibility of day labor and the appearance of day labor hiring sites raise new questions about public space and its ‘proper’ use. The establishment of a new day labor hiring site often creates a locational conflict. Creating formal spaces for…
Hungry Children and Networks of Aid in Argentina
The Argentine economic crisis that began in 2001 resulted in the general impoverishment of the population but had an even stronger effect on the lives of children. Children became the main actors of a national tragedy that received worldwide attention as malnutrition, starvation, and poor health began taking place in one of the most food- and resource-rich countries in the Western Hemisphere. Different voluntary and non-profit networks of aid wer…

Emotions That Build Networks
Social movement activists perform emotional labour that helps create and mobilise networks of collective action. The emotions of activism often contribute to social movements’ different organisational geographies. Two grassroots networks of human rights activists that originated in Argentina (the Madres de Plaza de Mayo and HIJOS ) developed different emotional geographies over time. Both human rights movements were formed by relatives of victims…
The Madres de Plaza de Mayo and Three Decades of Human Rights' Activism
The Madres de Plaza de Mayo is a community of mothers and human rights activists in Argentina that has remained active for almost three decades. Based on a qualitative analysis of archival and ethnographic data assembled through fieldwork, this article examines the crucial role emotions play in maintaining the Madres' embeddedness in territorially dispersed social networks. The Madres de Plaza de Mayo perform emotional labor within their movement…
Thinking Through Networks and Their Spatiality
Conventional thinking about war is encumbered by an inappropriate geographic paradigm that conceptualizes “targets” in terms of fixed latitudinal/longitudinal locations. This paper reconceptualizes terms such as “war” and “targets” to recognize intangible problems and develop appropriate counter‐terrorist strategies. This requires geographic inquiry focused on spatiality, not on location. We frame our discussion about terrorist networks (Al‐Qaeda…
Human rights politics and scaled performances of memory
This paper builds on the geographies of commemoration literature extending the scope of inquiry to consider the scaled performances through which the politics of memory unfold. I focus on an analysis of conflicts over the creation of memorial landscapes that emerge from the intricate ways in which representations of the past and the everyday politics of social movements intersect. The paper analyses the competing politics of memory of two groups …
Place, space, networks, and the sustainability of collective action
This article provides a framework for analysing social movements and explaining how collective action can be sustained through networks. Drawing on current relational views of place and space, I offer a spatialized conception of social networks that critically synthesizes network theory, research on social movements, and the literature on the spatial dimensions of collective action. I examine the historic and contemporary network geographies of a…

State‐society relations and national development
Research on national development in developing and newly industrializing countries (NICs) has focused on issues of economic growth and social change independent of each other, without paying much attention to the way the two elements relate to each other and to the conditions that could lead to their simultaneous occurrence. This paper argues that explanations of how economic growth with — or without —‘positive social change’ can occur require at…

The Relevance of Recent Psychological Studies to Tesol
This paper considers the relevance of recent psychological studies to the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. It discusses questions of fostering positive transfer; of displaying aspects of language via enactive, iconic, and symbolic representation, and of focusing on language from the standpoint of its essential functions. The views of language proposed by linguists are formalizations of a linguistic structure which can be taught…
