Care for Transactions
In this editorial we ask key questions about what it means to publish ‘a journal’ in a world of publishing which is driven by individual article metrics and online access. Seeing the value of journals as venues for intellectual debate, we therefore set out a renewed vision as to how the Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers can provide space for more collective and collaborative approaches to geographical debate. This approach revo…
More‐than‐therapeutic landscapes
Building on geography's ongoing interest in therapeutic landscapes (and assemblages), this article contributes a further dimension to thinking about the spaces and places of health and care. Whilst recognising the value of focusing on the variegated ways in which “improvements” in health, wellness, and well‐being take shape, it suggests there is also something to be gained by addressing these spaces through de‐centring “the therapeutic,” and inst…
From coping to carrying on: A pragmatic laughter between life and death
This paper explores the relational geographies of laughter, life and death within nursing care homes. Death is often seen as the ultimate Other: sitting in opposition to life, at the limits of what is knowable, and therefore as something that is impossible to fully engage with. In nursing care homes, however, death remains a relatively banal element of ordinary life, and like many other aspects of nursing care home life, is often accompanied by b…
Thinking laughter beyond humour: Atmospheric refrains and ethical indeterminacies in spaces of care
Despite the range of subjects tackled by affective and emotional geographers, laughter has received relatively little attention. Those who do discuss laughter, do so for the most part in terms of the "humorous" moments that precede it. This paper proposes a distinctly different approach: shifting focus away from humour to foreground laughter as an analytical category. Through this, I argue that we can understand laughter as a phenomenon in its ow…
Doing comic geographies
This article reflects on how notions of 'the comic' may be of added value to geographers' research. It is formed around the idea that there are aspects of space and society that are by nature incongruous and unsuitable to be understood through frameworks of scholarship that privilege 'reason' and objectivity above all else. The author thus reflects on how these notions of 'the comic' as a mode of thought can be applied to understanding different …
