Leveraging vulnerability
When I saw the first version of this paper a few weeks before, it was presented at the AAG meeting held in Detroit in April 2025, I recognized that there seemed to be two very interesting stories taking shape that were both novel and exciting. The first story is one that emerges from Furlong's long-standing interest in what she terms trickle-down debt (Furlong, 2011; Furlong, 2021). This is the story of how large-scale infrastructure projects and…
Restoring the question of culture
Throughout the 20th century the question of culture was a central pillar of social scientific thought. From Durkheim to Levi-Strauss, from Stuart Hall to Dennis Cosgrove, the question of culture and cultural difference was a touchstone for understanding the structures, norms and expectations that organised society. Yet, today the concept has disappeared from the academic landscape, including geography, where it is absorbed into other debates and …
Re-imagining the futures of geographical thought and praxis
The question of geography's future has recurred throughout the history of geographical thought, and responses to it often presume a linear trajectory from the past and present to a possible future. Yet one of the major contributions that geographers have made to understanding spatio-temporality is reconceiving both space and time as plural, fluid, and co-constituted through multiple space–time trajectories simultaneously. Amidst the ongoing crise…
Attachment
Attachment has not been a central concern for cultural geographers for some time – a consequence, I have argued, of process ontologies that emphasise becoming over being. Ben Anderson's article proves me wrong by providing a compelling framework for how we might approach attachment from within these ontological terms. While I point out some areas of overlap and agreement, I also argue that process ontologies are limited in their capacity to under…
Landscape
Landscape was a central concept when geography began as a modern scholarly discipline during the nineteenth century, but within twentieth‐century mainstream Anglophone geography it was peripheralized by the narrowing of the field to a science of space. This weakened the unity of geography as a discipline concerned with the historically developing relationship between society, nature and place, as expressed in the phenomena of landscape, which was…
Negativity
This paper reflects on the status of 'negativity' in contemporary social and geographical thought. Based on a panel discussion held at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting 2021, each contributor discusses what negativity means to them, and considers its various legacies and potential future trajectories. Along the way, the contributors offer ways of attending to negative spaces (voids, abysses, absences), affects (vulnerabilitie…
The question of culture in cultural geography
The aim of this paper is to excavate a latent geographical approach to the question of culture. Specifically, I argue that the culture question has been developed by two schools of geographical thought: an Anthropogeographical School (represented by the traditions of Ratzel and Vidal de la Blache) and a Landscape School (represented by the Berkeley School and new cultural geographers). My purpose for conducting this excavation is not only to illu…
Vulnerability and its politics
This article is an attempt to unwrite our current disciplinary enamourment with power. We begin from life’s woundedness, which we argue engenders a limit condition that both precedes power (vulnerability is the origin of power) and exceeds power (no power can ever resolve the problem of woundedness). To illustrate this, we introduce the ‘politics of the wound’: a perspective on politics that begins, not from a pre-existing ontology of forces and …
The Diversity We Are Given
For over 20 years J K Gibson‐Graham and the Community Economies Collective have endeavoured to reveal the diversity of economic practice already operative in our so‐called capitalist world. The aim of this paper is to further this ambition by illuminating an occlusion in Gibson‐Graham's own political vision. It argues that diversity, in Gibson‐Graham's thought, is primarily conceptualised as something produced. Drawing upon the work of George Bat…
Hesitant democracy
Consciousness as claiming
There has been increasing interest in recent years on the non-cognitive nature of human existence. Self-conscious thought and reflective action are no longer seen to be the defining feature of the human condition nor an anchor for social life. On the contrary, material practice and habitual engagements are the abiding mechanisms by which everyday life is sutured. One of the consequences of this perspective is its abbreviated conception of human c…
Landscape
Landscape studies has always been an influential subfield in geography, and has had a significant impact on the development and trajectory of cultural geography in North America and the United Kingdom. The entry reviews the subfield by assessing three predominant schools: the traditional school, the new cultural school, and the phenomenological school. While these schools are often presented chronologically (as if one school replaces the other), …
Acknowledging the work of poetry
A Place for Other Stories
In recent years geographers have borrowed from a variety of creative literary forms to find new ways of telling stories. Yet despite the profusion of experimentation, there has been little in the way of intellectual justification for why such formats are necessary. The aim of this article is to provide such a rationale. Specifically, it argues that stories are more than evidence. Traditionally, the role of stories is to support a particular theor…
Negative governance
This paper develops the concept of negative governance, an idea that describes (1) a unique and specific modality of governance and (2) a way to think about the concept of governance in general. In terms of the former, negative governance describes a way of governing that works by refusing to govern. This refusal is not simply a denial of state provision (since this assumes a governing agent), but a denial of state management. Negative governance…
Dwelling as Marking and Claiming
The aim of this paper is to put forth a conception of dwelling as a practice of marking and claiming. By this I mean that dwelling does not designate a passive condition but a mode of human practice. By suggesting that dwelling is marking I am highlighting the intimate relationship between dwelling and building. While in "Building dwelling thinking" (in Poetry, Language, Thought 1971, Harper and Row, New York) Heidegger encourages the reader to l…

A Civil Revolution
Secular materialism
Over the last 20 years, studies of material culture have increasingly come to rely on the assumption that cultural and material forms are co-constitutive. Indeed, it is thought that the co-constitutive nature of culture and materiality guarantees the significance of materiality in the constitution of social relations. This article illustrates the limitations of the co-constitutive relation by characterizing it as overly secular. Specifically, it …
Pilgrims
The aim of this paper is to illustrate how subjectivity is constituted via exteriorities. Drawing upon the work of Levinas and others, it examines how voices irretrievably outside the subject call to us, on a pre-subjective level, welcoming us into various modalities of identity and belonging. In this sense, identity is conceived not as something we have but something we are given. Identity is a primordial response to various others, some of whic…

The problem of power and the politics of landscape
This paper reconceptualises the politics of landscape as the precarious art of managing the unexpected. By telling the story of a campaign to stop the construction of a road through the Giza plateau in Egypt, the paper elucidates how political power is characterised not only by triumphal coalitions but also by insecurity, blindly grasped chances and pure luck. The paper elaborates on this story by presenting a conception of power not predicated o…
Animating Landscape
Gathering 'Dreams of Presence
In accepting an ontology that takes imminence and becoming as given and subverts any gestures towards ossifying movement into coherencies such as culture, it is difficult to explain how certain kinds of subject-object relationships, such as the cultural landscape, present themselves to us as stable and a-contextually fixed. How might such apparent coherencies be accounted for? The question calls for a shift not only in what we mean by representat…

The Seductions of Resistance
Studies of resistance challenge overly structural conceptions of social systems by emphasizing the various forms of creative practice operating within hegemonic space. Yet, by illustrating the different ways that agents respond to a dominant system, resistance theory inadvertently establishes that system as a preestablished entity. Thus, although resistance theory endeavours to recognize the ongoing deconstructs of systems, it simultaneously reif…

Reembracing Metaphysics
The following thought piece addresses the issue 'what next' by considering the effects of poststructural thought on the field. Specifically, I argue that poststructuralism has emerged in the field as a problem that a number of geographers have endeavoured to solve by devising new theoretical frameworks and innovative methodological principles, the purpose of which is to make social science 'better'. In response I suggest that the problems posed b…
