Affective labour at work
Rapid successions of technological inventions have threatened to upend existing structures of work, prompting a need to rethink labour geography in the twenty-first century. In particular, the pressures that automation brings to workers raise some interesting questions about how feelings toward work are evolving, and how active appropriation and dispensation of personal affects may be needed for workers, especially blue-collar workers long caught…
Situating automated infrastructure
In this themed issue, we examine the life and implication of the proliferation of ‘automated infrastructure’ in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we focus on the ways in which automation of various kinds – in labour processes, commerce and office spaces, border control, and even caregiving – have warped, (re)regulated and securitized the time-spaces in which people live, through infrastructure. While not treating the pandemic…
Toward Compatibility in Aeromobility
Past accidents with the Boeing 737 MAX have brought to light the dynamics behind the development of aviation technology and how these impact different stakeholders in the aviation industry, which is known for its siloing practices. Using the investigation of the tragic accident of Lion Air 610 as an exploratory case, we reveal how different forces in the aerospace industry are shaping the ongoing narrative of the Boeing 737 MAX. One way of examin…
Now boarding
In this article, we build on Adey, Budd and Hubbard’s 2007 ‘Flying Lessons’ paper by proposing four trajectories – bodies, infrastructures, technologies and disruptions – along which future research may follow for aeromobility studies. Since ‘Flying Lessons’, concerns for aviation have spread and developed into new areas beyond the experience of the individual air-passenger, but they have also remained somewhat disparate. Our article seeks to syn…
We touch their heart”
Labour research in geography has long been fascinated with the role of affects and emotions in capitalism. This article foregrounds ambivalent moments when labour creatively uses affection and intimacy to make claims over autonomy and agency. Set against a backdrop of increasing automation of infrastructural work, we draw on interviews with personnel at Jakarta Soekarno‐Hatta Airport (CGK). In culturally situating these automations, we evince how…
Situating and expanding the scope of dispositions towards automation
The four generous commentaries to our article, ‘Dispositions towards automation’, have truly enriched and extended our thinking on ‘dispositions’ as a way of challenging binary readings of automation (i.e. either towards capitulation or adaptation). Two of our interlocutors have encouraged us to think more situationally about the way dispositions develop through user experience and encounter, while the other two welcome a further expansion of our…
Flows and Frictions in Trans-Himalayan Spaces
Flows and Frictions in Trans-Himalayan Spaces,' in 2019. This was the last of four events at which researchers presented and discussed ongoing work in Northeast India, Myanmar, Yunnan, Tibet, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia.We are much indebted to our project's research team members Mandy Sadan, Arupjyoti Saikia, and Dan Smyer Yü for their knowledge, inspiration, collegiality, and friendship over the years.We
Introduction
Julie Y. Chu and Tina Harris call on readers to consider the figure-ground relations of #Logistics; as both hidden workings andoccasional spectacle, and as a social conundrum to puzzle out

Dispositions towards automation
With the rapid rise of supercomputers, artificial intelligence, and advanced forms of robotics, recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in automation in the academy. In geography, scholars have yielded some important insights on the mottled relations between humans and machines as capital moves towards a more high-tech form of production. In this paper, we seek to extend these debates by delving into how labour's relations with automation…
Decoding the Sino-North Korean Borderlands
Air Pressure
While the aviation industry is dominated by narratives of smooth, unending growth and future planning, in practice it is profoundly striated and asymmetrical. Through an ethnographic study of how air traffic controllers, pilots, and operations staff in Nepal experience "air pressure," this article demonstrates how understandings of the uneven geography of aviation infrastructure are framed in terms of time. Nepali airports are often perceived as …
Aeromobilities' extra-sectoral costs
For over a decade, scholars have graced a number of aeromobilities’ socio-cultural dimensions, from being in an airport to commanding an aeroplane. Yet, while this work has heightened appreciations of the political nature of aerial worlds, the propensity has been to focus on the immediate arrangements and politics related to flight. Using civil aviation as an example, this article offers a methodological reorientation and conceptual rethink of ho…

From Heavy Beads to Safety Pins
This article examines the object of the beaded necklace worn by married women in Nepal – called pote – and the ambiguities and layers of meaning surrounding pote in the lived worlds of the women who wear them. The ways women understand and use pote offer a view of religious belief as constituted and enacted through lived practices, surrounding and taking place through material objects. To illustrate this, this essay focuses on the ways that knowl…
Geographical Diversions
Working at the intersections of cultural anthropology, human geography, and material culture, Tina Harris explores the social and economic transformations taking place along one trade route that winds its way across China, Nepal, Tibet, and India. How might we connections between seemingly mundane daily life and more abstract levels of global change? Geographical Diversions focuses on two generations of traders who exchange goods such as sheep wo…

From Loom to Machine
In this paper I examine how objects become connected to place in complex and contradictory ways. Over the past ten to fifteen years, rapid transformations in Chinese manufacturing and transportation networks have significantly altered the production, marketing, and consumption of commodities made in the Tibet Autonomous Region and traded in Kalimpong, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal. In an attempt to connect the ethnographic study of material culture…
Japan's Twenty Year Response to Economic Crisis
We have some good news, and we have some bad news. First the good news. A little common sense is breaking out both within and about Japan. Within Japan, an election seems almost certain for the month of May. Comfy in his captain's chair, Prime Minister Aso is at present testing his 19% level of public support and – with helpful advice from Mr. “structural reform” Takenaka Heizo – is hoping to ride out the storm and his legal tenure. Japanese cons…
A preliminary study of how multiple exposures to messages about genetics impact on lay attitudes towards racial and genetic discrimination
Media depictions of genetics have led to concerns that this coverage will lead to increased belief in genetic determinism and increased discrimination, including racism. Previous studies of single exposures to messages about genetics or messages about genetics and race have shown some increases in discrimination and racism. Since attitude change is linked to repeated exposure to many messages, this study aimed to identify the effect of multiple e…
Silk Roads and Wool Routes
It is a clear Sunday afternoon in Kalimpong, a town of about 43,000 inhabitants in the mountainous northernmost tip of the state of West Bengal. The rhododendrons are glaringly bright against the green foliage, and the air is especially pleasant after months of heavy monsoon rain and the resulting landslides that would sporadically halt transport for days on end. I walk quickly down the hill, past the Mela ground and the motor stand in the center…

Deriving Lay Models of Uncertainty About Genes' Role in Illness Causation to Guide Communication About Human Genetics
Advances in clinical genetics and biotechnology increase the ability to identify individual genetic makeup through genetic services and testing. As a result, genes have become the focus of an increasing number of health messages associated with medical interaction and public communication. This research explored public perceptions (N= 858) of the role of genes in health using problematic integration (PI) theory as a framework. A Genetic Relativis…

The Association of Race and Socioeconomic Status With Cardiovascular Disease Indicators Among Older Adults in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study
Contrary to the age-as-leveler theory, being Black was strongly associated with CVD indicators, and accounting for SES did not reduce this association. Whether other SES measures, such as access to care, could explain the racial association remains to be explored
