ABSTRACT This paper addresses U.S. pandemic-related propaganda, as a mode of administering society, selves, and the COVID-19 virus relevant to other national contexts. The paper examines what I call pandemic revanchism, which, in order to stoke U.S. culture wars, propag(and)ates the COVID-19 epidemic by sensationalizing the trivial and normalizing the extraordinary or absurd. Banal forms of administrative

Being Italian: the peculiar journey of blackness Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2023-03-09 Heather Merrill
ABSTRACT Generations of African and Black Italians are extending the boundaries of what it means to be Italian, in the face of denial, diversion, and an insistence on whiteness as the measure of inclusion, and humanity.

ABSTRACT We are living in what geographer Allan Pred called an “extended moment of danger.” Accelerations of capitalist modernity have for decades yielded new sensibilities and situations that have given way to crises of democracy across the globe. While the sentiment that we are living in precarious time has been expressed by many over the years, we believe it to be extraordinarily apt today, and

ABSTRACT In this paper, we critically analyse the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting not only the breadth of knowledge geographers have already contributed to this assessment, but also the surprisingly limited critique within geography, social sciences and the broadly defined ‘Academic Left' of the authoritarian dimension of the public health policies of 2020 onwards. We conclude with

New Nordicities for Northern communities: exploring synergies between spatial planning and place branding in Edmonton, Alberta Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2023-01-23 Kristof Van Assche, Monica Gruezmacher, Robert Summers, Vanessa Zembal, Megan Strickfaden
ABSTRACT We analyse the construction of new Nordicities, as in new and guiding discourses for urban development which engage with a Northern location. Spatial planning and place branding are proposed as mutually reinforcing instruments to support the strategic positioning of cities located in northern climes. Planning in such an environment must take on board urban and landscape design, not merely

Discursive displacement and semantic diffusion of sense of place: revisiting Tuan Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2023-01-11 John Teeple, Peter Kabachnik
ABSTRACT Sense of place is a key concept in geography, which resonates with an audience outside of disciplinary geography. And yet, sense of place no longer has the prominence in geography that it once held. We argue that this is due in part to ‘discursive displacement' or shifts in meaning that have occurred as the concept circulated amongst different disciplines (e.g. geography and environmental

ABSTRACT Care and control are concepts frequently invoked within Camp Studies, often as a means of characterizing the varied logics of institutional camps. This article builds on recent geographical literature by going beyond care and control and proposing a renewed focus on the idea of custodianship within a range of historical and contemporary camp contexts, from colonial and totalitarian concentration

ABSTRACT This paper shows how coastal and island peoples of Guinea-Bissau continue to prefer staying put over migrating when faced with manifestations of climate change and environmental disrepair. This reaction contradicts widely held interpretations of climate migration, which emphasize anti-immigrant sentiments and border regimes. We examine how historically marginalized Bissau-Guineans respond

Migration, memory, and the insurgent temporalities of sanctuary Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2022-11-30 Katharyne Mitchell
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in time within human geography. This temporal ‘return’ is especially pronounced in areas of migration research, where current scholarship examines the ways that asylum seekers are forced into racialized spaces of waiting and uncertainty. There has been less attention to the temporalities of resistance, the multiple ways that migrants

On the production of hybrid urban space(s) in post-colonial cities: Manila in the music of Eraserheads Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2022-11-15 JC Gaillard
ABSTRACT This article challenges the dominant reading of Manila as a predominantly polarized city where the wealthy and less affluent are often opposed. The article rather draws upon Lefebvre’s approach to the production of space and Soja’s concept of thirdspace to provide a postcolonial exploration of a common representational and imaginary space that transcends blatant socio-economic disparities

Patterns of knowledge bases in large city regions in Germany: comparison of cores and their surrounding areas Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2022-11-08 Madeleine Wagner, Anna Growe
ABSTRACT Knowledge-intensive services are regarded as drivers of innovation and globalisation processes, and are mainly concentrated in large cities and metropolitan areas in the urban system. However, regionalisation processes of knowledge activities are increasing in the city-regional environment, which leads to a relief of the core cities and to an upgrading of the surrounding regions. The aim of

ABSTRACT As mainstream cultural products, it is increasingly recognized that movies can influence the way places are perceived, exploited and materially transformed, particularly in tourism development. The relationship between movies and places has been widely explored in geographical research, but the role of animated features is still relatively unexplored.

This omission has left its role in the development of the Welfare society largely unexplored. Therefore, this special issue revisits the green geographies of welfare planning, to reveal its importance as a matter of welfare

Spatial preferences and counterurbanization in Temuco, Chile: between the pleasure of the natural and residential anonymity Geografiska Ann. Series B Hum. Geogr. (IF 2.45) Pub Date : 2022-05-30 Félix Rojo-Mendoza
ABSTRACT Counterurbanization tends to be associated with the mid-upper and upper classes moving from cities to rural areas. However, the persistent desire for housing, the permeation of the neoliberal model throughout all society based on the principle of universal consumption, and the exhaustion many people feel with urban life, have ended up relativizing the traditional correspondence between social
