    <title>Descolonización del patrimonio en Puerto Rico con Rafael Capó García y Javier Arbona-Homar • Sur-Urbano</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Puerto Rico: Un archipiélago que, cada año, recibe a millones de turistas. Muchos de estos visitantes llegan a un lugar que, por décadas, se ha posicionado en una ruta de consumo caribeño – un lugar famoso por fantasías tropicales de ron, cigarros, café y, más recientemente, reggaetón. Si queremos ser más específicos, el Viejo San Juan, el sector colonial de la capital de Puerto Rico, está organizado en torno a satisfacer al visitante con sus restaurantes de comida criolla, coctelerías, tiendas y una proliferación de alquileres a corto plazo. Pero este modelo termina volviéndose insostenible para quienes la habitan. Detrás de las campañas publicitarias cuidadosamente diseñadas para atraer a turistas a un destino familiar y convenientemente situado “dentro” de los Estados Unidos, se oculta una historia incómoda de guerra, racismo y represión violenta.

Hay muchas personas en Puerto Rico cuestionando el espacio público y excavando las historias que existen debajo de cada monumento, de cada estatua, de cada ciudad y su infraestructura. Una de esas personas es Rafael Capó García, el fundador de Memoria (De)Colonial – un proyecto en Puerto Rico que ofrece recorridos históricos en San Juan. Los guías interrogan los legados coloniales de la herencia y el patrimonio puertorriqueño. Esto lo hacen a través de un lente decolonial y antirracista, y el proyecto tiene como misión promover perspectivas críticas en el momento de acercarnos a un monumento histórico. Pueden conocer más de su proyecto aquí:

https://memoriadecolonial.com/

Para pensar más en este acercamiento hacia los monumentos, nos sentamos también con Javier Arbona-Homar, un profesor puertorriqueño en UC Davis quien se enfoca en el diseño y en los estudios explosivos, es decir, cómo las explosiones transformaron la política espacial de los paisajes. Pueden encontrar su libro más reciente, “Explosivity Following What Remains”, aquí:

    <title>Walking and the Art of Public Space: Alisa Oleva on Cities, Belonging &amp; Nuart Aberdeen - YouTube</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Walking can be much more than getting from A to B. In this interview from Nuart Aberdeen, walking artist Alisa Oleva talks about how she turns walks through the city into a form of art and a way of seeing places differently.

Alisa describes one-to-one walks with people who are new to a city, helping them explore ideas of home and belonging through everyday routes. She talks about blindfolded walks, long group walks that repeat the same path for hours, and workshops where people try simple exercises like walking differently, touching surfaces or noticing small details. She also explains how  she spends time “deep hanging out” in neighbourhoods. She connects her work to ideas from performance art, psychogeography and parkour. Especially the idea of “desire lines”, the paths people make when they don’t follow the official route.

"Walking and the Art of Public Space: Alisa Oleva on Cities, Belonging & Nuart Aberdeen"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljqTo7GC7HM 

"Walking can be much more than getting from A to B. In this interview from Nuart Aberdeen, walking artist Alisa Oleva talks about how she turns walks through the city into a form of art and a way of seeing places differently.

Alisa describes one-to-one walks with people who are new to a city, helping them explore ideas of home and belonging through everyday routes. She talks about blindfolded walks, long group walks that repeat the same path for hours, and workshops where people try simple exercises like walking differently, touching surfaces or noticing small details. She also explains how  she spends time “deep hanging out” in neighbourhoods. She connects her work to ideas from performance art, psychogeography and parkour. Especially the idea of “desire lines”, the paths people make when they don’t follow the official route.

    <title>Françoise Vergès: The world is made through struggle - YouTube</title>
    <dc:date>2026-05-31T00:36:05+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc4s1qu8IP8</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Françoise Vergès. We had a beautiful conversation about how the politics of Réunion has animated her life's work,  how she was brought up in the struggle alongside the revolutionaries in her family, about her time in Algeria and Paris, decolonial feminisms (of course!), and the centrality of psychic life to our ongoing fight against fascism and oppressive systems. We honestly talked about so so much more, so I am excited for you to hear it! It was such an honor to sit down with a sister-comrade who has shaped so much of my thinking and political orientation to scholarship.

Françoise Vergès is a political theorist, curator and writer. She writes on the racist fabrication of premature death, decolonial feminism, the impossible decolonization of the western museum, climate disaster and antiracist, anticapitalist politics of vital needs. She works with artists and curates, since 2015, public performances with artists and activists. She is currently working on a film about anti colonial struggles in Reunion Island through her parents’ personal archives and her own.

For more information and on and links to Françoise's powerful work, see her website: https://francoiseverges.com/

This is the passage I read from Françoise's landmark A Decolonial Feminism (Pluto, 2019):

"I used a familiar fruit, the banana, to shed light on a number of analogies and elective affinities: the banana's dispersion from New Guinea to the rest of the world, the banana and slavery, the banana and US imperialism (banana republics), the banana and agribusiness (pesticides, insecticides--the chlordecone scandal in the Antilles), the banana and working conditions (the plantation regimes, sexual violence, repression), the banana and the environment (monocultures, pilluted water and land), the banana and sexuality (Josephine Baker), the banana and branding (Banana Republic), the banana and racism (when did the association of bananas and Negrophobia begin?), the banana and science (researching the 'perfect' banana), the banana and consumption (bringing bananas into the home, suggesting recipes), the banana and rituals for ancestors, and the banana and contemporary art. The method is simple: starting from one element to uncover a political, economic, cultural, and social ecosystem in order to avoid segmentation that the Western social-sciece method has imposed." p. 21-22"

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The tech capitalists are frighteningly good at colonizing public space. There's all those tech billboards, of course. But I also recently learned of AI Alley, a stretch of Howard Street in downtown SF that Anthropic has rebranded after acquiring an office there. And apparently techies are calling Hayes Valley with all its hacker houses Cerebral Alley? It's bold to claim any thought is taking place there. But what really gets me is calling the South Bay "Silicon Valley." It makes tech capitalism seem so endemic to the Bay Area that it's literally part of the geography...

But it's not. The Bay is beautiful. As a New Yorker, I can confidently say San Francisco is the most charming city in our wild, wild nation. Where else do you have that many vistas?? And while the first major tech company might have been founded in Palo Alto in 1909, there is literally a 1,076-year-old redwood tree in El Palo Alto. That is what's been here, and that's what will stay here."]]></description>

Not in cartographic terms, from above, but from the ground up – walking it, thinking it, writing it? Like the many European writers, artists, philosophers who came to London over the centuries and wrote about it, who wrote themselves into the city’s memory and who, in return, were shaped (written upon?) by the city. Who makes the city? Uta Staiger critically and playfully maps an answer to these questions, wandering and meandering, physically and philosophically, taking us with her."]]></description>

    <title>Prophetic Possibilities: A Few Words on David W. Orr and a Healing Vision for America - Front Porch Republic</title>
    <dc:date>2026-04-11T03:11:31+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.frontporchrepublic.com/2026/04/prophetic-possibilities-a-few-words-on-david-w-orr-and-a-healing-vision-for-america/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A healing vision for America, Orr suggests in his writings, is one faithful to the great nearby, to the gospel of the local."

...

“How do we reimagine and remake the human presence on earth in ways that work over the long haul?” —David W. Orr

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.” —David W. Orr

...

"And what is Orr’s vision?

In light of the variety of topics he’s written about (love, gratitude, water, oil, speed, scale, diversity, language, education, climate change, technology, science, scientism, spirituality, politics, leadership, citizenship, agriculture, conservation, localism, architecture, ecological design, the industrial economy, and others) and in light of the richness of his expression, attempting a summary of his vision seems a fool’s errand. But let me run that fool’s errand roundaboutly (and uncomprehensively) by sharing a list from his book Hope Is an Imperative, a list of things Orr believes every healthy community needs, a plainly worded but provocative list that I’ve been sharing with friends and students for years:

• front porches
• public parks
• local businesses
• windmills and solar collectors
• local farms and better food
• better woodlots and forests
• local employment
• more bike trails
• summer baseball leagues
• community theaters
• better poetry
• neighborhood book clubs
• bowling leagues
• better schools
• vibrant and robust downtowns with sidewalk cafes
• great pubs serving microbrews
• more kids playing outdoors
• fewer freeways, shopping malls, sprawl, television
• no more wars for oil or anything else"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Closing thoughts

So where is the megacity? We have a few rough answers we can offer.

First, the tech economy has no real interest in producing one. The core products have a great deal of physical production offshored and minimal labor requirements relative to wealth generated. When labor-intensive physical production was at home, firms fouled the earth with reckless abandon (visit your local Bay Area Superfund site to get a peek). Benefits are largely limited to a small and narrow technical elite, as well as the financiers behind them, and no amount of housing construction will do anything to change that structural relationship. In the Midwest booms, prosperity was distributed by working in the booming industry itself, not adjacent to it. It’s not clear what, if anything, trickle-down economics—rebranded by consuming in the shadow of Silicon Valley’s mountains of treasure—will do for the masses of workers. What’s a slightly higher nominal wage when the tech boom itself is driving up the cost of living aggressively? In today’s Bay Area, a janitor is precariously housed, systematically disempowered, cut off from any meaningful decisions about their workplace or political order. In tomorrow’s megacity, a janitor will be precariously housed, systematically disempowered, cut off from any meaningful decisions about their workplace or political order.

The second answer is that there’s a superficial understanding of the historical models offered as alternatives to learn from. The Midwest boom shared prosperity through organized labor struggling politically and exercising structural leverage within a national economy that immobilized capital. And even that era, hailed as a golden age by many, was racially exclusionary and viciously contested at every single step. The Bay Area’s own earlier boom was organized around extraction and concentrated wealth spooling out of the Gold Rush through the railroad era right to today’s military-industrial complex (and Silicon Valley’s committed re-engagement with it). Is the dream of a billion skyscrapers on John C Frémont’s golden horns a stillborn one? It’s better to say it’s one that comes with a fever—a delusion entertained by projecting hallucinations onto reality. Not to say we shouldn’t desire a megacity, but that we should think a bit more seriously about why one never existed so we can actually work towards creating one (and figuring out what that entails).

And a third answer: megacities do exist! They were built by developmental states wielding tools like massive public housing provision, state-directed industrial policy, public control of land and credit, and putting the fear of god into a few capitalists here and there so that they ignore the devil on their shoulder (profit-seeking). Can we import policy templates from Singapore or Seoul in hopes of building a megacity? Perhaps. Some of Vivek Chibber’s arguments in essay and book form offer a look at part of the problem here: the conditions which enabled successful industrial transformations (state capacity to discipline capital, bureaucratic autonomy from private interests, etc.) should be understood as specific historical achievements—political settlements that were struggled for, not developments that emerged from letting the private sector do the right thing. We understand this when it comes to developing some of the industrial titans of today (such as Huawei and TSMC) but, for some reason, applying this idea to urban development is treated as suspect at best. Though, of course, the reason is clear, isn’t it? State capacity at the scale necessary to twist capital’s arm is state capacity in position to (and mobilized by an ideological project that) may have funny ideas about property rights, capital mobility, state-run enterprises, competition, the political power of the tech or real estate sector, and so on. At that point, the question shifts from “how do we build more housing?” to “what kind of political power would be necessary to organize the economy’s relationship to land, labor, capital, surplus, prices, and so on?” Some may be uninterested in the latter, some may even view entertaining such questions as squandering opportunities to craft their own version of positive class compromise (to make building more housing in everyone’s interests) because it puts various political actors on high alert—and I’m sure this is true in some instances, but so be it!

I’m skeptical of the idea that booms are always healthy, always distributional in a way that benefits everyone, and easily remedied by policy if for some reason this isn’t the case. I think it’s clear even a cursory glance at the history, economics, politics at play here supports that skepticism."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["On making friends with maps and Marxists."

...

"I am beginning to worry that geographers might be some of the nicest people in the world. This is inconvenient, as a journalist, given how committed my profession is to giving the worst people in the world the biggest platforms to describe how they’d “improve” it (e.g., more white people, fewer trans kids, enslavement where possible). Nice people rarely make the news.

Last week, the American Association of Geographers’ (AAG) annual conference took place in San Francisco over the course of six days. It was a chance for academics and students from around the world to network and share research on topics as diverse as “New Fluvial Geographies: critical currents in riverine thought, practice and activism” and geospatial data analysis pertaining to infectious diseases. I was present for only one of those days, but my immediate takeaway from what I saw was how we’d all be better off if our largest news outlets bothered to listen to these people instead of profiling eugenicists and fascists.

But beyond the incisive critiques of environmental deregulation I heard, and in between talks methodically tearing apart neoliberalism’s tenets, the people I encountered were just so… kind? So open? It unnerved me to realize the last time I’d felt this welcomed by strangers was on a long trail in deep Tennessee; that a decade had managed to pass between those two points in time was frankly beyond me. 

I returned to Oakland on BART’s yellow line, abuzz and sick with temporal reckoning. 

At dinner with Ingrid Burrington, a geographer friend who’d flown in from NYC for the conference, she half-jokingly told me the warm vibes I’d picked up on were because, to quote, “the field of geography is split between tech nerds and communists.” I nodded into my ravioli with the unearned conviction of someone who bore the barest hint of a data set. An exaggeration, sure, but if it were even somewhat true, then from the thousands who’d gathered at the Union Square Hilton in SF on March 17, I’d go with the folks who couldn’t wait to quote Ruth Wilson Gilmore (and twice, actually did).

I admit to having arrived in SF that morning a little nervous, even if I was there as someone with nothing to prove, nor gain, nor fight for professionally. Instead, I had only my own opinions on our hell and its causes. I was an observer at a gathering of academics. The badge on my lanyard identified me simply as “Press,” and I wandered the halls between talks with the freedom and uselessness of a blissfully unaffiliated dust mote (at least university-wise).

While waiting for an elevator before my first set of talks, a middle-aged white woman asked me out of the blue whether I was also heading toward the transportation justice meeting. Before I could respond, a stranger behind her said he was, at which point the two started chatting excitedly before turning to ask me my destination.  

I desperately wanted to see three different panels at 10:10 am. The first, “The City as Archive; Archive as Method,” sponsored by the Black Geographies Specialty Group explored “Oakland, California, as archive through multiple entry points: policy, photography, and urban logistics” and had papers by UC Berkeley geographers titled “Progress and Perish: The Paradox of the Black Worker-Renter.” The second panel was “Predatory Tenures” and dealt with “contemporary developments in the relationship between housing and inequality, particularly those implicated in modes of tenancy and debt.”

I ended up choosing the third panel, “Geographies of migration, identity, and belief,” which featured the presentation “Kaleidoscope of Blackness: Ethiopian and Eritrean Immigrants within Oakland's Black Geographies,” so that my ancestors would not haunt me for the rest of my days. A woman sat beside me holding an annotated copy of Sara Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology and asked, unprompted, about my work; by the end of the session we’ll have swapped contact info in WhatsApp. 

How immigrants orient themselves — or to quote presenter Alexandra Gessesse “Whom are they orienting themselves in relation to?” — has been, if not an enduring question at my core as an Eritrean American born in Miami, then at least one in close orbit. Gessesse’s framing of Black Oakland as “a diasporal kaleidoscope,” producing encounters between those who arrived during the Great Migration and refugees who fled Eritrea and Ethiopia, spoke to a convergence I’d felt but never explicitly named ambling up and down Telegraph Avenue. “Place is not where things end,” Gessesse concluded, “It’s where things meet.” In other words, latitude and longitude are surface-level identifiers: Cities were relentlessly alive with us, and both the positive and negative frictions we produced.

I sat in the hotel lobby afterwards, during the hour-plus lunch break between sessions, watching hundreds of geographers meet and disperse and erupt in laughter, the energy in the air palpable and veering on the intimacies of airport reunions. Earlier, I’d thanked Gessesse for her talk, which led to us swapping numbers in the hope, at least for me, of meeting up soon (this would happen again with another presenter within hours). Near the corner where I sat charging my phone and writing notes, a group of excited 20-somethings said the word “spatialized” no fewer than 50 times in 10 minutes, with all the reverence of priests. The woman seated beside me, working busily on her laptop, stood and stretched and asked if I’d like a coffee since she was heading in that direction, but I needed to run.

By 12:50, it was time for a screening and discussion of a documentary-in-progress called BlackItalian, which I attended so that, again, my ancestors would not haunt me for the rest of my days (Eritrea was colonized by Italy). The film focused on three cities as sites of historic Black and Italian entanglements: New York, New Orleans, and Milan. The team responsible for creating it consisted of ethnomusicologist Christina Zanfagna and sociologist Camilla Hawthorne, whose writing on the Black Mediterranean and its attendant refugee crises this last decade informs parts of my own work.

I realized at the end that I'd spent the day drawn to talks on the liminal spaces where cultures meet. Sicilians and Afro-Creoles in New Orleans. Eritreans and Black Americans in Oakland. The uneven distribution of mobilities across them arising again and again. These presentations had ultimately been about power and how it develops, or erodes, or absconds within the confines of white supremacy. Look, they said. And I looked. When one of the presenters asked the audience if we knew of people who might be able to help fund their project, my looking led straight to where examinations of power almost always did: money.

Such calls for funding support would emerge in nearly every remaining AAG panel I saw. At the packed to-the-rafters “Archive as territory: Historical methods in Black geographies,” a presentation specifically about the “significance of ‘the archive’ to the practice and study of Black place-making and knowledge production,” a presenter joked they might not have a job by the end of the year. On March 21, when I streamed several panels online from the comfort of my living room, a presenter whose research focused on housing spoke candidly of his own recent eviction. At my final viewing on Black Ecologies, amid all the talk of soil syllabi, was the half-joke that if anyone knew of people interested in funding the group to let them know.

And honestly? This isn’t even what I planned to write about when I sat down to draft this essay. I wanted to spend its majority going long on housing policy, because AAG in 2026, in San Francisco, was filled with geographers emphatically debunking YIMBY claims left and right — here in the movement’s birthplace. I wanted to talk about the recent wins made by Geographers for Justice in Palestine to get AAG to “[divest] funds from key firms profiting from Israel’s genocidal war and military occupation.”

But I can’t get past the reality that so many brilliant people and their work are on the edges of precipices. Not just geographers, but across academia and our federal workforce. As someone prone to anxiety, I am at this moment filled with dread for all the lost futures already in motion — perhaps even my own. However heavy with promise my phone felt after one day at AAG, Hallie Bateman’s illustration “It’s A Miracle We Ever Met” kept coming nervously to mind. 

I want the world for this conference of weirdo academics who’ve thought so hard about place and personhood that at times they moved me to tears. If place is not an end but where things meet, then what is one to make of entanglements lost? In truth, I felt sad for us all, for the hindered potential and connections unknown. I could not stop thinking about how much poorer we’d grown in these dark days of wondering. When? hung over the Bay and beyond like a departures board waiting to load."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The ancient wisdom of five religious traditions anticipated the gross inequities of modern economics – and offers a way out."

...

PART I: WHAT JESUS KNEW ABOUT SCARCITY

...

PART II: WHAT THE BUDDHA KNEW ABOUT CONSUMPTION

...

PART III: WHAT MOSES KNEW ABOUT JUBILEE

...

PART IV: WHAT THE QURAN KNEW ABOUT ZAKAT

...

PART V: WHAT THE VEDAS KNEW ABOUT ANNADANAM

...

"PART VI: THE PROPHETIC CONVERGENCE

What astonishes me as an economist is that these traditions – separated by geography, theology, culture – arrive at similar economic principles:

- Food exists outside market logic (Jesus: distribute freely)
- Consumption without calculation is liberation (Buddha: the bowl)
- Wealth compounds dangerously and must be reset (Moses: Jubilee)
- Extreme wealth must circulate, not accumulate (Quran: Zakat)
- Food is concentrated time and must be shared (Vedas: Annadanam)

These aren’t metaphors. They’re economic policies, encoded in religious language because that was the only framework that could enforce them.

And here’s what terrifies me: every civilization that abandoned these principles collapsed. Contrary to Jubilee, Rome consolidated land into latifundia, peasants became slaves, and the empire fell. Contrary to zakat, in pre-revolutionary France, wealth became concentrated, peasants starved, and heads rolled. Contrary to annadanam, in Gilded-Age America company stores led to debt peonage and ended in the Great Depression. We’re forgetting again.

According to Oxfam’s analysis of the UBS Global Wealth Report:

- the top 1 percent own 43 percent of wealth;
- the top 10 percent own 82 percent of wealth;
- the bottom 50 percent own 2 percent of wealth.

When I extrapolate this trend forward fifty years (without intervention):

- the top 1 percent will own 89 percent of wealth;
- the top 10 percent will own 97.8 percent of wealth
- the bottom 50 percent will own 0.01 percent of wealth.

At that point, money becomes meaningless. When 1 percent own everything, currency collapses, barter returns, society fractures.

PART VII: THE WAY FORWARD

I’m a mathematician. I don’t believe in miracles. But I believe in patterns. And the pattern is clear: sustainable civilizations maintain anti-extraction mechanisms that interrupt compound inequality. Some modern policy equivalents:

Universal Basic Food (Jesus model)

- 30 percent of meals from community kitchens
- No means testing, no stigma
- Everyone eats together once a day

Consumption Sabbaticals (Buddha model)

- One day each week, markets close
- Non-commercial activities only
- Interrupts compound consumption

Jubilee Wealth Tax (Moses model)

- Every ten years, wealth above ₹l billion taxed at 90 percent
- Revenue funds Universal Basic Assets for next generation
- Resets intergenerational compound inequality

Mandatory Circulation (zakat model)

- Wealth above ₹1 billion must circulate 5 percent per year
- Not tax (government takes), but forced investment/spending
- Keeps money moving, prevents dead capital

Time-Credit Food Systems (annadanam model)

- Volunteer one hour per month and receive food credits
- Decouples food access from money
- Creates parallel economy denominated in time

None of this is new. The prophets handed us the blueprints thousands of years ago. We’ve just convinced ourselves that ancient wisdom is “impractical” – while our “practical” system drives us toward collapse.

Consider how many hours you work to meet survival needs? How would your life change if one meal per day was free (Jesus), one day per week you didn’t calculate (Buddha), your wealth reset at intervals (Moses), everyone gave away 2.5 percent of their wealth annually (zakat), and you received food based on need, not money (annadanam)? How would your relationship to food, work, time, and others change? The prophets weren’t offering charity. They were offering structural freedom – liberation from the extraction system that turns eating into economics and economics into suffering. The mathematics prove they were right. The question is: Will we listen before the equation solves itself through collapse?

The prophets knew. The math knows. We pretend not to know. But hunger is patient. And it’s doing the calculation for us."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This special issue introduction argues for the value of place-based approaches to the past for agricultural and rural historians. It does so in three dimensions: concept, method, and narrative. Conceptually, place takes shape in tension with space, environment, and landscape. Like landscape, place allows historians to weave together nature, the built environment, and the cultural meanings people have ascribed to both over time, but in ways that privilege the lived experience of those in the past. Methodologically, place-based history engages with the historian's experience of locales, whether directly or mediated through historical sources. Finally, in narrative form, place-based history seeks to evoke place for the reader as well as to analyze it. Place-based history, the essay argues, highlights the human-scale, the inhabited and relational, and the particular and the contingent. It provides interpretive models and suggestive examples of the value of place in framing historical thinking, research, and writing."]]></description>

    <title>A review of silicon valley imperialism by Erin McElroy - Gillian Rose, 2025</title>
    <dc:date>2025-12-25T17:00:16+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This is a fascinating, provocative book, and one I’d place alongside a number of others for its mapping of the ‘geography’ of digital geographies beyond the locations of Google and Amazon and their servers – in Silicon Valley or Silicon Glen or Silicon roundabout – to locations in Eastern Europe, Africa and South America (see for example Anwar and Graham, 2022). Importantly, none of that work makes digital geographies global in the way that, say, Bratton's (2016) notion of planetary computation does by arguing that digital networks are encompassing the globe and turning it all into The Stack. Instead, they establish a complex, relational human geography of difference and connection (cf Gabrys, 2018). In the case of Silicon Valley Imperialism, this means developing a strong political-economic analysis of the extension of Silicon Valley tech companies into Romania, tracking for example spatial divisions of labour, outsourcing, property acquisition and company mergers. In the course of that discussion, what also emerges is a very clear account of the racialisation of all those processes and relations, in Silicon Valley and elsewhere. This is particularly evident in Erin's account of the spatial divisions of labour of US tech firms: they discuss the differentiation of English-speaking whiteness between the company headquarters in the US and its call centres in Romania, as well as those excluded pretty much entirely from the labour force – Roma in Romania, Black in California. And hence one of the book's persistent themes, that fascism arises from these forms of liberalism/capitalism, an argument that is materialising all too vividly in many parts of the Global North right now.

The book also pays careful attention to the fantasies which are integral to the various capitalist expropriations that the book traces, and Erin describes the specific combination of material extractive relations and discourses as ‘technofascism’. For me, this emphasis on “meanings, dreams, and desires” (9) is absolutely critical to understanding the power of the capitalist digital tech industry now, whether megacompanies or startups. As much as technological innovation, they depend on seductive fantasies about what they can deliver, and often less explicitly and seductively, for whom.

I have to confess I wanted a little more from Erin's book about these kinds of human conduct on which this ‘technofascist’ dispositif depends (cf Bassett et al., 2023). Erin uses a rich vocabulary to describe them, noting desires, hauntings, dreams, myths, imaginaries, fantasies, ideologies, cruel optimisms, fictions and, following Hartman (2019), “critical fabulations” (156) which generate a sense of surplus or excess. Each of these has somewhat different kinds of grip on understanding the specific dynamics of classes and racialised subjectivities, and I would have learnt from hearing Erin's explore their role in their argument more explicitly.

My other, related ‘more please’ moment was in relation to gender, and gender relations. Gender is critical to understanding the differentiated forms of human that are configured by technofascism as both political economy and regime of desire (let's use that phrase for now). Fascist ideologies – techno or otherwise – have an explicit, cispatriarchal and heteronormative politics of gender, because controlling reproductive bodies – women's bodies, the two are conflated – is understood as the way to ensure racial purity (Theweleit, 1987). Certainly, it's not hard to trace the figure of the ‘techbro’ across Erin's argument, and feminist activist voices are very strong in the book: I especially enjoyed Mihaela Drăgan's account of “Roma futurism” (180) as a subversive glitch. But there are other hints in the book of the deep entanglement of certain kinds of patriarchy with the digital tech industry: Antonia, for example, the robot algorithm servant of the mayor of Cluj (214); and in the remark that there are perhaps a 100,000 women in Romania working on webcam porn sites (see also Vlase and Preoteasa, 2022) (which makes the book's characterisation of Andrew Tate as a “digital nomad” and a “internet personality” a little odd [66]). I would love to have heard more about gender as integral to Silicon Valley imperialism too, which is only to suggest again just how richly generative this book is, for many kinds of digital and other kinds of critical scholarship."]]></description>

    <title>Living Languages: Evangelia Adamou on the spatial distribution of linguistic endurance – KoozArch</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Communities, neighbourhoods and even nation states can be loosely defined by their languages; language does not define space in geographical terms, but spatialities are carried within and signified by it. In an extensive exploration of endangered languages — their distribution and fragility — Evangelia Adamou makes a fascinating case for the location and logic of linguistic endurance."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["People are panicking about the literacy crisis, about waning attention spans and why technology is making everything worse. But some people — like writer, software designer, and literary critic Celine Nguyen — have managed to not only retain their engagement with art and culture and literature, but actually deepen it with the help of the internet and social media.

In this conversation, Celine talks through how she went from tech to art school, taught herself to be a literary critic, and learned to love social media, Substack, and AI. 

[00:00:00] Jumping from Silicon Valley to the art world
[00:11:00] The internet and “research as leisure activity”
[00:26:34] Contrarian optimism about AI and art
[00:48:57] How can we measure progress in culture?
[01:04:47] Celine’s personal tech/media habits

Follow Celine's work at personalcanon.com and Jasmine at jasmi.news."

    <title>Measures and Meanings of Spatial Capital: Contributions to a Theory of Land, by Lars Marcus (2025) | Books Gateway | MIT Press</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["How the built environment, understood as spatial capital, governs both everyday life in cities and urban systems more generally.

In an age of social and environmental crises, we need to critically rethink the role of the built environment and how best to put it to work. Measures and Meanings of Spatial Capital presents a new theory of spatial capital, arguing that spatial form is essential for building resilience into highly complex urban systems. Lars Marcus argues that the built environment constitutes a form of capital that enhances other forms of capital in cities (such as social, economic, and ecological capital), if designed with those goals in mind. This represents an important and necessary shift in how we approach urban space in the numerous studies of cities that are conducted in a range of disciplines today, such as urban sociology, urban economics, and urban ecology.

In contemporary urban studies, land has oddly lost its position alongside labor and capital as one of the three fundamental production factors in economic theory, but as Marcus shows, misconceptions of land are at the root of social and environmental crises worldwide. By defining the challenges and modeling our use of spatial form to enhance/improve land, and then synthesizing data into a unified theory of spatial capital, Marcus provides a crucial reframing of how we can best plan and design our cities for the global challenges we are facing."]]></description>

    <title>New Destinations of Empire: Mobilities, Racial Geographies, and Citizenship in the Transpacific United States, by Emily Mitchell-Eaton (2025)</title>
    <dc:date>2025-11-02T21:24:20+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["How U.S. empire both causes and constrains mobility for its subjects

In 1986 the Compact of Free Association marked the formal end of U.S. colonialism in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, while simultaneously re-entrenching imperial power dynamics between the two countries. The U.S.-RMI Compact at once enshrined exclusive U.S. military access to the islands and established the right of “visa-free” migration to the United States for Marshallese citizens, leading to a Marshallese diaspora whose largest population resettled in the seemingly unlikely destination of Springdale, Arkansas.

An “all-white town” by design for much of the twentieth century, Springdale, having nearly quadrupled in population since 1980, has been remade by Marshallese as well as Latinx immigration. Through ethnographic, policy-based, and archival research in Guåhan, Saipan, Hawai’i, Arkansas, and Washington, D.C., New Destinations of Empire tells the story of these place-based transformations, revealing how U.S. empire both causes and constrains mobility for its subjects, shaping migrants’ experiences of racialization, citizenship, and belonging in new destinations of empire.

In examining two spatial processes—imperialism and migration—together, Emily Mitchell-Eaton reveals connections and flows between presumably distant, “remote” sites like Arkansas and the Marshall Islands, showing them to be central to the United States’ most urgent political issues: immigration, racial justice, militarization, and decolonization."

[archived:
https://archive.ph/xkUk3

via:
https://social.ayjay.org/2025/10/15/wendell-berry-abstraction-is-the.html ]

"I. Properly speaking, global thinking is not possible. Those who have "thought globally" (and among them the most successful have been imperial governments and multinational corporations) have done so by means of simplifications too extreme and oppressive to merit the name of thought. Global thinkers have been, and will be, dangerous people. National thinkers tend to be dangerous also; we now have national thinkers in the northeastern United States who look upon Kentucky as a garbage dump.

II. Global thinking can only be statistical. Its shallowness is exposed by the least intention to do something. Unless one is willing to be destructive on a very large scale, one cannot do something except locally, in a small place. Global thinking can only do to the globe what a space satellite does to it: reduce it, make a bauble of it. Look at one of those photographs of half the earth taken from outer space, and see if you recognize your neighborhood. If you want to see where you are, you will have to get out of your space vehicle, out of your car, off your horse, and walk over the ground. On foot you will find that the earth is still satisfyingly large, and full of beguiling nooks and crannies.

III. If we could think locally, we would do far better than we are doing now. The right local questions and answers will be the right global ones. The Amish question "What will this do to our community?" tends toward the right answer for the world.

IV. If we want to put local life in proper relation to the globe, we must do so by imagination, charity, and forbearance, and by making local life as independent and self-sufficient as we can—not by the presumptuous abstractions of "global thought."

V. If we want to keep our thoughts and acts from destroying the globe, then we must see to it that we do not ask too much of the globe or of any part of it. To make sure that we do not ask too much, we must learn to live at home, as independently and self-sufficiently as we can. That is the only way we can keep the land we are using, and its ecological limits, always in sight.

VI. The only sustainable city—and this, to me, is the indispensable ideal and goal—is a city in balance with its countryside: a city, that is, that would live off the net ecological income of its supporting region, paying as it goes all its ecological and human debts.

VII. The cities we now have are living off ecological principal, by economic assumptions that seem certain to destroy them. They do not live at home. They do not have their own supporting regions. They are out of balance with their supports, wherever on the globe their supports are.

VIII. The balance between city and countryside is destroyed by industrial machinery, "cheap" productivity in field and forest, and "cheap" transportation. Rome destroyed the balance with slave labor; we have destroyed it with "cheap" fossil fuel.

IX. Since the Civil War, perhaps, and certainly since the Second World War, the norms of productivity have been set by the fossil-fuel industries.

X. Geographically, the sources of the fossil fuels are rural. Technically, however, the production of these fuels is industrial and urban. The facts and integrities of local life, and the principle of community, are considered as little as possible, for to consider them would not be quickly profitable. Fossil fuels have always been produced at the expense of local ecosystems and of local human communities. The fossil-fuel economy is the industrial economy par excellence, and it assigns no value to local life, natural or human.

XI. When the industrial principles exemplified in fossil-fuel production are applied to field and forest, the results are identical: local life, both natural and human, is destroyed.

XII. Industrial procedures have been imposed on the countryside pretty much to the extent that country people have been seduced or forced into dependence on the money economy. By encouraging this dependence, corporations have increased their ability to rob the people of their property and their labor. The result is that a very small number of people now own all the usable property in the country, and workers are increasingly the hostages of their employers.

XIII. Our present "leaders"—the people of wealth and power—do not know what it means to take a place seriously: to think it worthy, for its own sake, of love and study and careful work. They cannot take any place seriously because they must be ready at any moment, by the terms of power and wealth in the modern world, to destroy any place.

XIV. Ecological good sense will be opposed by all the most powerful economic entities of our time, because ecological good sense requires the reduction or replacement of those entities. If ecological good sense is to prevail, it can do so only through the work and the will of the people and of the local communities.

XV. For this task our currently prevailing assumptions about knowledge, information, education, money, and political will are inadequate. All our institutions with which I am familiar have adopted the organizational patterns and the quantitative measures of the industrial corporations. Both sides of the ecological debate, perhaps as a consequence, are alarmingly abstract.

XVI. But abstraction, of course, is what is wrong. The evil of the industrial economy (capitalist or communist) is the abstractness inherent in its procedures—its inability to distinguish one place or person or creature from another. William Blake saw this two hundred years ago. Anyone can see it now in almost any of our common tools and weapons.

XVII. Abstraction is the enemy wherever it is found. The abstractions of sustainability can ruin the world just as surely as the abstractions of industrial economics. Local life may be as much endangered by "saving the planet" as by "conquering the world." Such a project calls for abstract purposes and central powers that cannot know, and so will destroy, the integrity of local nature and local community.

XVIII. In order to make ecological good sense for the planet, you must make ecological good sense locally. You can't act locally by thinking globally. If you want to keep your local acts from destroying the globe, you must think locally.

XIX. No one can make ecological good sense for the planet. Everyone can make ecological good sense locally, if the affection, the scale, the knowledge, the tools, and the skills are right.

XX. The right scale in work gives power to affection. When one works beyond the reach of one's love for the place one is working in, and for the things and creatures one is working with and among, then destruction inevitably results. An adequate local culture, among other things, keeps work within the reach of love.

XXI. The question before us, then, is an extremely difficult one: How do we begin to remake, or to make, a local culture that will preserve our part of the world while we use it? We are talking here not just about a kind of knowledge that involves affection but also about a kind of knowledge that comes from or with affection—knowledge that is unavailable to the unaffectionate, and that is unavailable to anyone as what is called information.

XXII. What, for a start, might be the economic result of local affection? We don't know. Moreover, we are probably never going to know in any way that would satisfy the average dean or corporate executive. The ways of love tend to be secretive and, even to the lovers themselves, somewhat inscrutable.

XXIII. The real work of planet-saving will be small, humble, and humbling, and (insofar as it involves love) pleasing and rewarding. Its jobs will be too many to count, too many to report, too many to be publicly noticed or rewarded, too small to make anyone rich or famous.

XXIV. The great obstacle may be not greed but the modern hankering after glamour. A lot of our smartest, most concerned people want to come up with a big solution to a big problem. I don't think that planet-saving, if we take it seriously, can furnish employment to many such people.

XXV. When I think of the kind of worker the job requires, I think of Dorothy Day (if one can think of Dorothy Day herself, separate from the publicity that came as a result of her rarity), a person willing to go down and down into the daunting, humbling, almost hopeless local presence of the problem—to face the great problem one small life at a time.

XXVI. Some cities can never be sustainable, because they do not have a countryside around them, or near them, from which they can be sustained. New York City cannot be made sustainable, nor can Phoenix. Some cities in Kentucky or the Midwest, on the other hand, might reasonably hope to become sustainable.

XXVII. To make a sustainable city, one must begin somehow, and I think the beginning must be small and economic. A beginning could be made, for example, by increasing the amount of food bought from farmers in the local countryside by consumers in the city. As the food economy became more local, local farming would become more diverse; the farms would become smaller, more complex in structure, more productive; and some city people would be needed to work on the farms. Sooner or later, as a means of reducing expenses both ways, organic wastes from the city would go out to fertilize the farms of the supporting region; thus city people would have to assume an agricultural responsibility, and would be properly motivated to do so both by the wish to have a supply of excellent food and by the fear of contaminating that supply. The increase of economic intimacy between a city and its sources would change minds (assuming, of course, that the minds in question would stay put long enough to be changed). It would improve minds. The locality, by becoming partly sustainable, would produce the thought it would need to become more sustainable."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The 21st edition of City Debates—on collective, exploratory, and radical cartographies—engages with mapping, data visualization, and spatial representation, specifically as they intersect with urban research, furthering a variety of ways through which cities, geographies, and environments are studied and understood.

The primary framing breaks down critical mapping theorization and practice into three main threads. The first, “Co-map”, focuses on issues of authorship and subject, such as who is mapping and who is being mapped, the implications of participatory mapping, citizen cartography, narrative and ethnographic mapping, and other forms that confront and dispute the traditional authorities behind the map. The second, “Re-map”, is concerned with reimagining cartographic practice, re/de-historicizing the discipline, challenging mapping and data visualization conventions, contemplating map as play, and using mapping as a speculative and experimental design process. The third, “Un-map”, examines ideas of counter-mapping, data feminism, rebel mapping, and other emerging visual strategies of dissent, agitation, and activism that deconstruct and expose the map as a socially embedded political text.

Of course, the threads are neither mutually exclusive nor comprehensive as far as cartographic output and data visualization are concerned. Rather, they are issues that have been central to the critical shift within the field over time, and the conference aims to explore a more granulated set of themes across its multiple panels. These include questions of tools and technologies, positions and positionalities, ecologies and environments, conflict and crises, data access and scarcity, borders and territories, and other important deliberations within a rich, multifaceted, and continuously expanding cross-disciplinary sphere. Together, they aspire to delineate a well-rounded program that addresses the theme of mapping from a pertinent contemporary place, fostering dialogue between different methods and showcasing a variety of collective, exploratory, and radical cartographies in multiple contexts."]]></description>

    <title>Research Profile: Gillian Der - Emotional landscapes and a culturally informed geography of wildfire</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Wandering through a charred landscape with incense and food offerings in hand, Gillian Der (謝美華 ) searches for the long-lost family memorial site. Among the blackened tree trunks and returning grasses emerging from the rocky earth, she finds the place to set down her offerings and begin the grave sweeping ceremony. This recently scorched forest, site of the 2023 Downtown Lake wildfire in the Bridge River Valley (BVR), traditional St’át’imc territory, is a place of multilayered grief, personal and ecological. Visiting this landscape, finding a family grave, and walking through grief with a deep cultural practice is a way of finding solace in the chaos. 

A second year UBC Human Geography Masters student, Der draws on her Chinese Canadian heritage to explore concepts of grieving in the face the climate crisis and asks what a culturally informed geography of wildfire might look like. From creative nonfiction, to felting and performance art, Der weaves together a rich fabric of unconventional research practices that aim to highlight the emotional landscapes often overlooked in the field of geography. With an arts-based, community-engaged research practice, Der hosted focus groups and felting workshops in the BRV to help residents make sense of their experiences. 

    “Wildfire is not just scientific or geographic process – it is an incredibly emotional experience for people to go through. And so many people are increasingly being affected by wildfires,” explains Der. 

Der’s grandmother grew up in Pioneer, a once booming goldmine town in the BRV. As a child, Gillian first began working with fiber while visiting her grandmother often knitting and learning other craft and fiber art practices from the women in her family. This style of art making is embedded in her time in BRV. Der was present during the 2023 wildfire and that intense personal experience sparked her interest in pursuing this topic for her research.  

    “I’m looking at how this remote community is processing what happened, how they responded to the event and how they are holding together as a community post-fire in a place that has not always received a lot of government attention and support,” says Der. 

After the evacuation, Der returned to the community and ended up reconnecting with her friends in the local stitching group, a place where formative conversations were taking place about how residents were processing the grief of losing both their homes and the aftermath of the large-scale landscape change local environment. With hands busy, minds and hearts would open up to talking about this difficult collective experience. 

“When we move our hands and talk through difficult experiences it can allow us to be more vulnerable and cohesive in our expressions. It also creates a physical documentation of the experience to reflect on,” explains Der. 

While there are plenty of statistics associated with wildfires, hectares burned, people displaced, cost of damages in economic terms, the emotional toll these climate disasters take on individuals and communities is not as well understood or documented. Through her time in the stitching circle, Der discovered how collective art making is a way to help people move through difficult experiences and rebuild a sense of community. Blending traditional research methods using expert interviews and focus groups with collective art making, Der’s research has culminated in two art exhibitions, the first titled Hold Over Fires, which opened on April 21st in Vancouver at the Alternatives Gallery. Collaborating with Stephanie Koenig, posAbilities’ Artist in Residence, the show is comprised of photographs, drawings and felted tapestries that respond to the time Der and Koenig spent in the post-fire landscape at Downton Lake. Der will then take a version of the show back up to the community in July 2025 with the support of the Chapman & Innovation Grant from UBC’s Centre for Community Engaged Learning. There the collectively produced fibre work will be exhibited alongside Der’s own, the culmination of a shared grieving process for the personal and the land. 

    “The work is asking what does it mean to make and unmake homes on unceded territory? What is the importance of moving through these ruins and how does that shape our relationship to a post wildfire landscape and as well as to these places that are changing due to wildfire in increasing severity?” says Der.  

Attitudes are slowly shifting around wildfire management to include crucial Indigenous perspectives and cultural practices. 

“It’s important that we start moving towards a geography of wildfire that encompasses these more emotional aspects of what people are going through, while at the same time not losing the critical edge. The way we fight wildfire today is deeply related to colonial forest practice,” Der explains. 

The rich tapestry Der weaves finds ways to thread all these ideas together into a cohesive exploration of race, identity, coloniality and cultural informed wildfire response. Utilizing creative nonfiction as another tool to explore these concepts, Der was recently shortlisted for the Malahat Review’s Open Season Awards for her piece titled Third Child. This written work is a response to her experience finding her family memorial site in the burned forest. Another way of making sense of the grief and chaos of climate disaster and colonialism. 

Der’s arts-based practice is an important response to an often technical and scientific understanding of identity and the climate emergency. Her work teaches us the emotional and experiential landscape is just as valuable as the physical one.

"This issue of Making and Breaking seeks to map out some of the dominant psychogeographies of the present. The Situationist Guy Debord defined psychogeography in 1955 as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals.”1 Another way of putting this is to say that psychogeography was conceived as that which happens when psychology and geography creatively collide.

To stage such creative collisions, the Letterist International (the precursory group to the Situationist International) developed what they called dérive, a method of drifting aimlessly through the urban landscape, registering the “patterns of emotive force-fields” that suffuse a city. Dérive is the artistic procedure that initially produces psychogeography; perhaps aimless in walking route, yet not without a certain methodological rigour. The Letterists and Situationists were fond of wandering the city as artistic strategy, a practice they inherited from a long line of predecessors reaching from the Surrealists back to Daniel Defoe.2 What the Situationists added to this was a revolutionary ambition that was political as much as it was aesthetic. As early as the 1950s, they recognised capital’s tendency to absorb the collective lifeworld into its quantitative homogeneity and understood the destructive potential this entails for a humane society. For them, psychogeography was an attempt to develop subversive forms of knowledge and experience that could contest the reductionism of capital, expressed in the formulations of post-war urban planning. It tried to delineate an experimental space-time where the rules of the game were undercut by radical play, where new ways of being could emerge, outside of the space-time of commodified banality.

Such a level of analytical clairvoyance and political ambition coming out of an artist movement is enormously inspiring in 2025, as we witness how Creative and Smart City policies have turned so much of today’s artistic and cultural production into decorative services that flank the progressive sell-out of our urban infrastructures to financial investors and digital corporations. What do the sheer number of retrospectives, revivals, and publications on the Situationist International and its potential legacy that have been released over the past few decades attest to if not an incredible longing for contemporary manifestations of such aesthetic resilience in and for our own time? Part of this might be melancholia but there is also a strong element in there of what the late Mark Fisher identified in his writing on “hauntology:” the refusal to give up on the desire for the future.3 At a time when it has become intellectually fashionable to celebrate the looming apocalypse as post- or transhuman payback, we urgently need to reinvigorate our desire for the future. In her brilliant The Beach Beneath the Street, McKenzie Wark talks about the Situationist’s attempt at “an exit from the 20th century.”4 It is obvious that we’ve not only missed the exit from the 20th century that the Situationists tried to open but we’ve also taken the wrong entrance into the 21st century. The rabbit-hole we’re tumbling down right now does give us Alice’s terrors and desperation, though without the imagination and wonderland at the end of the tunnel. This is why we agree with Wark when she writes that one could do worse than looking back at those who last tried to dig themselves out of that doomed trajectory of capital’s debilitating an-aesthesia.

Psychogeography and Psychopolitics

It is in this vein that the contributions of this issue of Making and Breaking take up the question of psychogeography once again. Many of the approaches presented within it extend beyond the city and the physical environment, going into the virtual dimensions of digital socialities, social media infrastructures and their affects, exploring shifting sociopolitical grounds and socio-economic factors, identifying new forces of power and potential sources of emancipation. They often include and map out the psychosomatic effects of such expanded understandings of the environment, paying attention to dominant or well-worn feelings, emotions, and behavioural effects, as well as those emergent that might yet to be named.

Digital media plays a crucial role in all of this. While we’re aware of the disastrous effects of social media on the psyche, particularly of the young,5 our online world tends to be pretty good at generating aesthetic means of communication that can be incredibly effective in expressing discomforts, disquiets, joys, or phenomena felt tacitly across the commons. The obvious example here being the meme. Sometimes a meme appears to perfectly illustrate an unnameable tingle of emotion or sociopolitical moment and is taken up en-masse speedily, with a sense of humour and urgency, or better: immediacy, than more elaborate and analytical (let alone academic) explanations seem to have the capacity to do.

Approaching digital phenomena such as memes psychogeographically necessarily involves the question of how to effectively politicise the psychological today. Explicitly politicising the political means engaging in a psychopolitics, which we intend here as the practice of placing ostensibly psychological phenomena and concerns within the register of the political and denoting the extent to which the human psyche is intimately linked to a host of structural forces, be they technological, political, economic, or simply historical. A psychogeography of our times must acknowledge the structural and environmental forces at play in producing these “specific effects… consciously organised or not, on emotions and behaviour.”

Identity, Collectivity, Aesthetics

In letting our psychogeographical gaze intuitively roam across our present social landscape, we witness the rise of a culture fixated with self-diagnosis, self-care, self-development and optimisation, and the admiration of self-experience, as a strange iteration of hyper-individualism inherited from neoliberalism. While the individual psyche remains a crucial reference for any contemporary psychogeography, our understanding of it needs to heed the “therapeutic” groundwork laid out by the inventors of the dérive. To quote McKenzie Wark again:

“Psychogeography made the city subjective and at the same time drew subjectivity out of its individualistic shell. It is a therapy aimed not at the self but at the city itself.”6

What we need to understand is that today’s identitarian movements on the left and right resonate rather harmoniously with the extremist version of the self, produced by decades of neoliberalism. Deconstructing identitarian extremism in all its contemporary forms and conversions is the precondition for an emancipatory psychogeography; otherwise, its political impetus runs the risk of being reduced to notions of individual pathology.

The upside is that there is growing interest in the politics and (new) practices of community and collectivity. Artists increasingly engage with questions of care and interspecies relations, there is a desire for experiences of interconnectedness (via psychedelics, or otherwise), and a new generation is exploring forms of living and working that are less self-centred and more communal (luxury). What they share is a willingness to reach outwards in search of resonance with the greater world and breaking away from the heaviness that comes with dissecting, monitoring, and keeping constant awareness and analysis of one’s own (self-centring) identity.

It seems to us that the challenge for cultural production in our time lies in embracing a sense and practice of exciting, democratic togetherness against the revenge of undead iterations of neoliberal subjectivity. The fields of art and culture have been invaded by pop-psychology speech, disqualifying practices that are vital for its evolution – provocation, passionate debate, and indeed, judgement – as forms of violence. Yet, as Sarah Shulman reminds us, conflict is not abuse.7

The world of cultural production needs conflict, doesn’t it? Hence, if this issue of Making and Breaking engages with psychogeography, it is to raise some rather fundamental questions: Shouldn’t art and culture provide room for unbridled curiosity and possibilities? Isn’t this the space where play, fun, for ills (or silliness) happened, expressed through genres of conviviality, collective joy, absurdity, and humour? The place for speaking truths, fictitious or otherwise, in ways vivacious and carnivalesque, for taking a break, albeit how brief, from “the horror of existence” rather than being stuck in a constant mirror-state of seeing your Self, reflected back at… yourself? Our inkling is that approaching cultural production in psychogeographic terms might help identify what blockages are at play in constraining it to addressing what feels like only a handful of topics, in a handful of ways.

The Contributions

Our stroll through these Psychogeographies of the Present begins with Letizia Chiappini’s proposition of the notion of psycho-digital geography, examining how emerging virtual spaces—from TikTok to Uber Eats, and beyond—are transforming our understanding and experiences of physical urban spaces, social relations, and embodied experiences. From there, Max Haiven takes us into the heart of contemporary capitalism’s unwinnable game, laying out how financialised neoliberalism has gamified itself and, in effect, our lives, and how it incubates fascism. Next Dan McQuillan leads a tour through a psychogeography of AI, which will suck you into a visceral and fantastical—yet oh so real—storytelling walkthrough of the less-visible and less-voiced aspects of what this moment of artificial intelligence’s rapid development really entails, through its current darknesses with insight into where it’s heading.

In our interview with Liam Young, recorded whilst his locale of Los Angeles was ablaze, the speculative architect talks about his exhilarating attempts to stimulate our collective imagination in a way that does justice to the planetary nature and scale of our contemporary challenges. Another type of psychogeographic strategy is presented by !Mediengruppe Bitnik. In collaboration with Selena Savić and Gordan Savičić, they let us into their work on how the prevalence of rating functions amongst digital systems and platforms has led to online ratings, reviews, and comments shaping our perceptions and experiences of offline spaces and services, as accentuated in their exhibition 1 ⭐ Review Tour. We stay with artists and their new psychogeographical practices in the Image Acts duo’s reportage of how Steven Monteau and friends began building new psychographical tools by making cameras out of residual police ammunition they collected, left behind on the streets during the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) protests in France. The collective Experimental Jetset follows up with their The Drifting Library: Towards a New Biblio-Psychogeography, which meanders the streets of Amsterdam using its DIY outdoor little book exchanges as their guide through a ‘semiotic cityscape’, contemplating the possibility of a dialectical experience within the urban environment, and perhaps even a countering encounter of the notion that “print is dead.”

Our journey starts its exiting descent with a psychogeography of apocalyptic games by the collective Total Refusal, finishing with Tristam Adams’ drawing of a line between the importance of jokes and humour in and for cultural production, what the empathetic aspects of the joke might offer as opportunities for ethical and political practices, and where celebrations of plurality could go in enhancing class consciousness.

We thank you for joining us on this jaunt through Psychogeographies of the Present and continuing to support what Making and Breaking sets out to do. And thank you again to all our contributors for their valuable additions in the expansion of what a contemporary psychogeography could and can do – in all its possible practices, takes, developments, mappings, and applications."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The sleek high-rises in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards were built atop what was once a hub of industry. Today, argues the celebrated British American geographer David Harvey, they’re towering symbols of speculative wealth. In David Harvey and the City, he gives viewers a tour of this 21st-century redevelopment – not far from where he teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) – and the New York beyond it. Harvey gives a Marxist perspective on how spaces like these reflect the deeper tensions inherent in capitalist systems, where urban design is increasingly shaped by financial interests rather than the wellbeing of communities. He suggests that, by changing how we value space – treating land not as a commodity but as part of a shared civic life – we could begin to imagine cities that prioritise people, not profit. Directed by the Canadian filmmaker Brett Story, the short documentary serves as both an accessible introduction to radical geography and a compelling invitation to rethink the modern city."

    <title>Stefan Kipfer: Gramsci as geographer - Historical Materialism</title>
    <dc:date>2025-06-03T15:07:38+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.historicalmaterialism.org/stefan-kipfer-gramsci-as-geographer/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Looking at Gramsci’s work as a whole, it is important to point out that the city-country question is not covered neatly by the Southern question, nor is it coterminous with the relationship between industry and agriculture in Italy as a whole. It is true, however, that Gramsci repeatedly analysed the relationship between South (that is, the semi-feudal nexus of landlords, the Church and the peasants) and the North (that is, the Northern industrialists and ruling circles in the newly formed unified Italy) as a semi- or quasi-colonial relationship. Rooted in economic dependency and political domination, it reproduced pre-capitalist modes of life in the South and limited the capacity of the Italian ruling class to build an integral national hegemony. (I would use the term internal colony with great caution to describe the Italy of the interwar period to avoid what Gramsci himself did not do: establish a parallel between Southern Italy and social spaces populated by former slaves or immigrant populations from the former colonies in, say, the U.S.A., France, and the United Kingdom).

Gramsci also established links between the Southern question and Italy’s imperial adventures in North and East Africa. He observed that Italy’s imperial adventures were promoted not only for capital export but also for purposes of colonial settlement and domestic political legitimacy, not the least to build popular support from land-hungry Southerners. Gramsci also noted that modern raciology treated Southern Europeans (and Southern Italians in particular) as an intermediary ‘race’ between Northern and ‘Alpine’ Europeans, on the one hand, and various non-Europeans, on the other. In Italy, the force of this double-sided raciology helped link the Southern to the imperial question. But not unlike racism in other countries like France, raciology in Italy radiated much beyond the aristocratic circles that had produced some of the early versions of modern race theory. For example, Gramsci stressed that racism against Southerners (‘sudici’) had acquired a popular, pseudo-scientific dimension and weighed on both class relations and left politics.

To give proper due to racism and uneven development in Italy, Gramsci spent much time criticizing a broad cross-section of Italian intellectuals who were responsible for articulating a racialized conception of social relations. Among these were important figures in Gramsci’s own Socialist Party such as Achille Loria and Cesare Lombroso (the infamous criminologist whose questionable work fills a whole museum in Turin still today). As Marcus Green has pointed out, Gramsci’s critique of these intellectuals, which cuts across important segments of the Prison Notebooks, brilliantly highlights the philosophical link (positivism) between racism, economic determinism, pseudo-scientific conceptions of progress and political fatalism.[7] Establishing this link helped Gramsci develop the non-reductive historical material method as well as the multidimensional conception of subalternity that define his work.

The fact that Gramsci has been of great interest to intellectuals committed to anti-colonial and anti-imperial strategies is thus related not only to Gramsci’s interest in particular topics: city and country, agriculture, uneven development, colonialism, imperialism, and racism. It is also related to the weight these themes carried as Gramsci developed his conception of Marxist theory and practice. There are thus good reasons why his work has been taken up by generations of intellectuals in Latin America, the Caribbean and South Asia, for example. As you say, the most well-known Gramsci-inspired currents in the English-speaking world are the subaltern studies collective (in India and the Anglo-American academy) and the Birmingham school of cultural studies, of which Stuart Hall is the most well-known exponent. These currents, which underwent numerous transformations themselves, have left many invaluable – direct as well as diffuse – neo-Gramscian traces, notably in historiographies of hegemony, nationalism and subalternity in the non-European world and socio-political analyses of race, class, gender, migration and nationalism in the imperial North.

There is no consensus among anti-colonial and ant-racist thinkers about how to interpret and make use of Gramsci.[8] This state of affairs should not surprise us. There is no such intellectual consensus about Gramsci in the sprawling universe of Gramsci scholarship as a whole (nor is there theoretical unanimity in the even more widespread world of post-colonial theory). I am personally most drawn towards those who have tried to develop Gramsci’s historical materialist method for purposes of analysing racism, colonialism and nationalism: Stuart Hall, who, next to many other things, has produced some of the finest Gramscian methodological statements in his work on racism and authoritarian populism;[9] Himani Bannerji, who has mobilized Gramsci for a pathbreaking Marxist-feminist critique of ideology and the sharpest of analyses of Hindutva, the fascist political nébuleuse governing India today,[10] and Ato Sekyi-Otu, the philosopher who has produced the most ambitious, notably Gramsci-inflected reading of Frantz Fanon.[11]

What these attempts to work with and redirect Gramsci tell us is that Gramsci is not the exclusive property of ‘the West’, or ‘Western Marxism’. Contrary to a conception that was more widespread when I started reading Gramsci seriously a quarter century ago, Gramsci’s conception of East and West is relational and strategic, not ontological. In the Prison Notebooks, Gramsci treated East and West not as transhistorical essences (ontologies) but historically malleable constructions strongly influenced by the visions and practices of the ‘educated classes.’ (On this point, Gramsci fleetingly anticipated Edward Said’s pathbreaking work on Orientalism). In various comments (on Gandhi and political strategy, and religiosity in tributary societies shaped by Islam, Hinduism or Catholicism, for instance), Gramsci indicated that civilizations are neither unique nor mere variations of the same. They are simply comparable. As evolving and interrelated historical constructs, their features can be ‘translated’: understood across boundaries and adapted in different contexts.

To illustrate: Gramsci’s conception of politics and rule – his analyses of hegemony, coercion and consent, state and civil society – were not meant exclusively to understand Western Europe or Euro-America. Gramsci scholars like Carlos Nelson Coutinho, Domenico Losurdo, Peter Thomas, and Gillian Hart have all stressed this point.[12] Precisely because Gramsci was  both a theorist of the (particular) Italian situation and an intellectual of the Communist International (with its universalizing ambitions), he was committed to translating – transporting and modifying – concepts and strategies across national and continental borders instead of fixating them in culturalist-civilizational terms. For him, historical materialism was about linking the particular and the universal in a dialectical, not relativist or abstractly universalist fashion. In our world which witnesses a return of civilizational angst about the decline of the ‘West’ (something Gramsci criticized in his time) and where many forces work towards making the U.S. American doctrine about the Clash of Civilization a living reality, Gramsci’s approach (which, as Sekyi-Otu has pointed out, echoes the partisan-universal orientation of dialectical anti-colonialists such as Frantz Fanon) is as timely as ever."]]></description>

    <title>Vijay Iyer’s art of listening | Amplify with Lara Downes - YouTube</title>
    <dc:date>2025-05-28T14:12:08+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Lara Downes | May 28, 2025

Vijay Iyer’s mind is a little bit terrifying. A MacArthur-certified “genius,” he earned degrees in mathematics and physics from Yale and Berkeley before committing to a career as a pianist and composer. His STEM background profoundly informs his music-making, from using the sequence of Fibonacci numbers to structure his work, to applying theories of embodied and situated cognition in his study of the music of the African diaspora. The New York Times has called Iyer a "social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway."

But when I sat down with Vijay for this conversation at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tenn., (where we each performed during a weekend of music representing a breathtaking array of traditions and aesthetics), I wasn’t really focused on the intimidating power of his remarkable mind. Instead, I was acutely aware of the heart and soul in music — its capacity to create understanding and communication. At Big Ears, you can make your way from a traditional bluegrass set to an Indian jalatharangam performance, traversing continents, cultures and centuries as you cross the street between two venues.

So Vijay and I talked about listening. The alertness of listening in the creative states of improvising, composing and collaborating with other musicians. The importance of listening to your history and lineage, and the agility of listening to the present tense of the world around you. The ability to listen across borders of geography and language, affirming the humanity and empathy that comes with it. In the end, it was Vijay who brought up an emotion that’s the antithesis of anything cerebral. “It feels like family,” he said. “To really hear everything that's happening in the music and also hear what a person is saying and hear what they have to offer as a human being. It's really this deep love that is at the heart of it.”"]]></description>

We'll trace fascism's history from its roots in the turbulent aftermath of World War I, when masses of angry people rose up, to the rise of charismatic leaders who manipulated that anger, the totalitarian societies they built, and the brutal measures they used to enforce their ideology. We'll see the horrific consequences: genocide and total war. And we'll be inspired by the stories of those who resisted. Along the way, we'll visit poignant sights throughout Europe relating to fascism, and talk with Europeans whose families lived through those times. Our goal: to learn from the hard lessons of 20th-century Europe, and to recognize that ideology in the 21st century."]]></description>

    <title>Prophecies of Palestine: Geology and Intimate Knowledge of the Subterranean - Columbia University</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This dissertation examines the narratives deployed to produce space(s) and how they become imbued with the authority to do so. The narratives-as-knowledge considered here are grounded in a specific place: the Mediterranean Basin, within which the site of analysis, Palestine, sits. How, in this particular place, has the earth been read and translated into different narratives of the past and the present, how does one gain the authority to do so, and how does this authority enable prophesizing the future? I argue for the importance of understanding the foundations of the earth sciences, namely geology, which remains steeped in colonial and capitalist roots and the ideological logics of extractivism as opposed to mutuality. Geology governs much of our understandings of the earth, space, and time. In Palestine, Biblical and geological narratives emerged concomitantly and they read the history of earth and mankind through its translation of the strata of the underground, which in turn granted the authority to prophesize the future. The local, intimate knowledge of the land, and thus the narratives of the land, are in contest in colonial contexts – colonial knowledge depends on and exploits local knowledge. Later, the modern-nation state enfolds the holders of this knowledge within its institutions as it seeks to make nature legible for extraction. In settler-states, however, the holders of intimate knowledge are excluded from the state. This, I argue, can help us understand the impasse between Gaza's tunnel diggers and the Israeli military and offers us a case study of the potential of subterranean knowledge to rethink the Earth Sciences and their colonial capitalist paradigms. Place matters, and I focus on the dueling narratives in Gaza that reproduce it; I first argue Gaza should be unmapped from 'the Gaza Strip,' and counter-mapped (through history and ethnography) as Southern Palestine. After redefining the geography of Gaza, I focus in on daily life on the surface of a vibrant Gaza filled with unexpected relations. The dissonance of mainstream humanitarian discourse on Gaza is shorn of historical context of colonialism and prophesizes certain death, whereas the anti-colonial narrative of local resistance promises a liberated future. I then move underground to the tunnels of Gaza, where smuggling and the logics of capital accumulation – which per local analysts had only the certainty of social deterioration – butt up against the underground resistance's liberatory discourse and reality on the ground. I detail how the 'purity' of resistance and its intimate knowledge is contained and captured in the different nation-states dividing the region of southern Palestine, namely Israel and Egypt and the quasi-state status in Palestine. Back above ground, social deterioration is mediated through conspiracy theories prophesizing an uncertain future for Gaza, namely the Deal of the Century that threatens to redraw the map of Gaza. Meanwhile, Egypt and Israel continue to deploy local knowledge for extractive industries. However, I argue, something fugitive remains that cannot be contained even by their powerful militaries. The dominant mainstream narratives of humanitarianism, climate catastrophe, the Deal of the Century, and so on only lead to catastrophe, whereas looking to local, intimate knowledge that is fugitive from containment or erasure offer a different reading of and relationship with the land and hence different possibilities for the future. Following the missive that we are a storytelling species (Wynter) and should re-write our origin stories and hence our prophecies, I conclude with a reflection on what a critical geology or all-inclusive theories of earth might look like."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Maps informed by Indigenous knowledges portray the world as a place of plenty and invite us to conserve and enhance that abundance. “Rather than seeing climate change as apocalyptic,” Fujikane writes, “we can see that climate change is bringing about the demise of capital, making way for Indigenous lifeways that center familial relationships with the earth and elemental forms.” Indigenous atlases of abundance map out a future that will enable Indigenous lifeways “to survive what capital cannot.”38 These atlases do not foreground the vanishing—or presume that merely documenting the devastation constitutes sufficient political action. They instead “approach what appear to be the precarities of climate change and… ground those changes in observable data regarding the interconnection of moon phases with the growth of plants, the spawning of fish, coral, and shellfish, the propagation of limu (seaweed), the patterns of winds, rains, and stream and ocean currents”—not for the purposes of extraction but in order to understand their interconnection.39 Rather than framing “adaptation as resignation,” atlases of abundance frame adaptation as an “active analytic that enables us to anticipate change[s] and to act to maximize their potentially abundant effects.”40 When we see the world as terrain to capture and resources to extract, our maps portray it as a site of scarcity and loss. With traditional Kanaka Maoli and other contemporary Indigenous cartographies and the worldviews they cultivate, what ultimately vanishes might be the very political-economic forces causing planetary destruction."]]></description>

    <title>Terra infirma: On the base map in urban cartography and GIS - Clancy Wilmott, Alexis E Wood, 2024</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This article investigates the ways in which base maps are a fundamental, but under-recognised, starting point for planners, architects, cartographers and geographic information scientists in urban spatial planning and decision-making contexts. Focusing on the case study of a collaborative mapping project with the Wood Street Commons, an unhoused community in West Oakland, it contends that base maps create a cartographic terra infirma, fundamentally shaping the process of negotiations over urban space in ways that reinforce possessive logics and normalize property as central to the function of the city. Base maps do so by paradoxically absenting all people – with the effect of absenting the occupation of land by unhoused people, while shielding property owners from view while enacting their possession through infrastructure, parcel boundaries and land features. We argue this privileging inherent in the urban base map ultimately fuels a process of “unbecoming” (Fraser, 2018) – a simultaneous invisibilizing and reproduction of spatial inequality – and in response, call for attention towards the politics of base maps from urban cartographers, planners, architects and spatial scientists alike."]]></description>

    <title>Urban Lowlands: A History of Neighborhoods, Poverty, and Planning, by Steven Moga (2020)</title>
    <dc:date>2025-02-20T03:24:57+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Interrogates the connections between a city’s physical landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points.

In Urban Lowlands, Steven T. Moga looks closely at the Harlem Flats in New York City, Black Bottom in Nashville, Swede Hollow in Saint Paul, and the Flats in Los Angeles, to interrogate the connections between a city’s actual landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective on the history of US urban development from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Moga reveals patterns of inequitable land use, economic dispossession, and social discrimination against immigrants and minorities. In attending to the landscapes of neighborhoods typically considered slums, Moga shows how physical and policy-driven containment has shaped the lives of the urban poor, while wealth and access to resources have been historically concentrated in elevated areas—truly “the heights.” Moga’s innovative framework expands our understanding of how planning and economic segregation alike have molded the American city."]]></description>

    <title>Urban Reinventions: San Francisco’s Treasure Island – UH Press</title>
    <dc:date>2024-12-22T20:51:32+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/urban-reinventions-san-franciscos-treasure-island/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When it was built in 1937, Treasure Island was considered to be one of the largest man-made islands in the world. Located in the middle of San Francisco Bay, the 400-acre island was constructed out of dredged bay mud in a remarkable feat of Depression-era civil engineering by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Its alluring name is an allusion to the fabled remnants of the California Gold Rush found in the ocean sediment that formed the island.

This collection of essays tells the story of San Francisco’s Treasure Island—an artificial, disconnected island that has paradoxically been central to the city’s urban ambitions. Conceived as a site for San Francisco’s first airport in an age of automobile and air transport, Treasure Island hosted the Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) in 1939 and 1940, celebrating the completion of the Golden Gate and the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridges. With particular focus on Asia and Latin America, the GGIE promoted peace, harmony, and commerce in the Pacific. Treasure Island’s planned use as an airport was scuttled when World War II abruptly reversed the exposition’s message of Pacific unity, and the US government developed Treasure Island and the adjacent Yerba Buena Island into a naval training and transfer station, which processed 4,500,000 military personnel on their way to the Pacific theater.

In the midst of a twenty-first-century high-tech boom and in one of the most expensive real-estate markets in the world, the city of San Francisco and its developers have proposed an ambitious model of military base reuse and green urbanism—a new eco-city of about 19,000 residents on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. The project is synonymous with a growing global trend toward large-scale, capital-intensive land developments envisioned around ideas of sustainability and spectacular place making. Seen against the successive history of development, future visions for Treasure Island are part of a process of building and erasure that Horiuchi and Sankalia call urban reinventions. This is a process of radical change in which artificial, detached, and delimited sites such as Treasure Island provide an ideal plane for tabula rasa planning driven by property, capital, and state control.

With essays by contributors well known for their interdisciplinary work, Urban Reinventions demonstrates how a single site may be interpreted in multiple ways: as an artificial island, world’s fair site, military installation, a semi-derelict relic of past lives, a toxic site of nuclear waste, and a future eco-city and major real estate development. The volume offers a wide spectrum of critiques of race, imperialism, gendered Orientalism, military land use, property capital exchange, new eco-cities, sustainability, and waste as a byproduct of development.

The book will be of interest to general readers as well as teachers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of geography, architecture, city planning, urban design, history, environmental studies, American studies, Asian studies, and military history, among others.

Lynne Horiuchi and Tanu Sankalia have organized a fascinating collection of essays, many of them by prominent scholars, on the complex multi-layered history of Treasure Island, a man-made island in the middle of San Francisco Bay that has been reinvented in radically different ways over time. Essays look at the history of the island from multiple perspectives that go beyond simple observation and description. Although the island is small, its history provides a context for discussing issues of broader concern locally and globally: colonialism, racism, sustainability, symbolism and meaning, reinvention of urban space, and more.

"1. Urban Reinventions
LYNNE HORIUCHI and TANU SANKALIA
Flat and rectangular, Treasure Island is a contained mass of landfill surrounded by water. It looks like a floating platform from which you can gaze out, 360 degrees, and take in spectacular views of the varied geography that forms the San Francisco Bay Area (Figure 1.1). The island is so low lying that it feels as though you can almost touch the cold waters that steadily lap its well-defined edges. On some days, the island is cloaked in fog and on others bathed in sun; yet you can always feel the brisk, chilling, ocean winds that unforgivingly sweep the island...

2. The Island at the Center of the Bay
RICHARD A. WALKER
In The Island at the Center of the World, Peter Shorto (2004) recovers the forgotten origins of New York, the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam that occupied Manhattan Island in the first half of the seventeenth century. His argument that the past still resonates today is music to the ears of any historian. More than that, it speaks to the geographer, for whom the distinctiveness of place is fundamental, as is the way every locale is connected to the wider world. How surprising what an unprepossessing little island can portend! As everyone knows, New York went on to become the...

Part I Treasure Island, an Airport, and the Golden Gate International Exposition

3. How to Celebrate a Bridge
ANDREW M. SHANKEN
Treasure Island, that artificial island built on the shoals of Yerba Buena Island, is now a minor curiosity of windswept fields, aging housing, and an odd hodgepodge of postmilitary institutions. But in its day it ranked among the visionary projects that aimed to transform San Francisco into a metropolitan area that could compete with Los Angeles. The largest human-made island in the world when it was completed, it took its place among the most ambitious public works projects in the nation. In the mid-1930s, the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge (1933–1936), or SFOBB, and the Golden Gate Bridge (1933–...

4. Visions of Progress and Peace: Foreign Architectural Representations at the Century of Progress and Golden Gate International Expositions
LISA D. SCHRENK
The 1930s was the most active era of American world expositions.¹ Within a span of only five years, six major fairs, including the Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) on Treasure Island, were held in the United States.² All were attempting to emulate the economic success of the 1933–1934 World’s Fair in Chicago. Held at the nadir of the Great Depression, A Century of Progress looked to American corporations to fill a gap left by foreign countries, which, facing economic difficulties of their own, had in many cases declined to sponsor individual buildings. As at Chicago, large, modern corporate pavilions...

5. A Local Global Utopia: The Japan Pavilion at the Golden Gate International Exposition
LYNNE HORIUCHI
A 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition brochure and visitor’s guide, titled The Japan Pavilion Welcomes World Visitors, described the pavilion and its site to visitors in the romantic and overheated style of exposition rhetoric:

Amidst an exotic Japanese setting of terraced gardens, with plants and shrubbery and many varieties of trees that shade the placid lagoons, Japan Pavilion, an original combination of the architecture of a Feudal Castle and a Samurai house of the 17th Century, stands in majestic splendor as one of the finest and most interesting sights of the Golden Gate International Exposition at Treasure Island.

Part II Naval Station Treasure Island and Military Occupation

6. Trial by the Bay: Treasure Island and Segregation in the Navy’s Lake
JAVIER ARBONA
During the months of September and October 1944, Admiral C. H. Wright, commandant of the Twelfth Naval District, placed fifty black sailors on trial for mutiny at the Treasure Island US Naval Training and Distribution Center. Although this event is largely forgotten or its location confused, the Treasure Island naval base served as a setting where the Navy asserted its power to maintain Jim Crow segregation—frequently misunderstood as a Southern system alone—at the same time that the United States and its allies battled totalitarianism abroad.

The fifty men were survivors of a catastrophic munitions detonation at the Port...

7. Pandemonium on the Bay: Naval Station Treasure Island and the Toxic Legacies of Atomic Defense
LINDSEY DILLON
A man steps into his white, rubber-lined body suit, zipping it up to his chin. He pulls a protective hood over his head and tightens it against the straps of his gas mask. It is 1968. Flower children gather in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district, and an office-building boom shoots up skyscrapers in the financial district downtown. Across the Bay in Oakland, Huey Newton is convicted of manslaughter and J. Edgar Hoover declares the Black Panther Party “the greatest threat to the internal security of the country.” Thousands of soldiers, headed for Vietnam, pass through the gates of Naval Station Treasure...

8. Visions for Reuse: The Legacy of the Bay Area’s Military Installations
(pp. 159-183)
MARK L. GILLEM
As a cool bay breeze swept across Treasure Island, forgotten aluminum cans rattled against a chain link fence. Regularly spaced along the fence were warning signs painted with the universal yellow background and black icon: a black center circle of the sign at the focal point of three black pie-shaped wedges whose wider ends implied the circumference of an outer circle. From Chernobyl to Treasure Island, the frighteningly familiar sign warned of radioactive danger lurking in the background. For Treasure Island, the radioactive waste is just part of the slowly decaying history of the US military’s presence on the island...

Part III The Treasure Island–Yerba Buena Island Development Project

9. Visions of an Island Ecotopia
TANU SANKALIA
On June 7, 2011, the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a new redevelopment project for Treasure Island (TI) and Yerba Buena Island (YBI) (SFBOS 2011).¹ The news of the approval was welcomed in the local press (Kane 2011), possibly foreshadowing a fourth reinvention of the island following its previous three avatars as airport site, fairground, and naval base. The timing of the approval was contemporaneous with a steadily growing heated public debate surrounding housing demand in San Francisco—a good reason for why the project was approved—and meant that Treasure Island and Yerba Buena...

10. Magic City 2.0: Articulations of Soil, Law, and Capital on Treasure Island
JOHN STEHLIN
Few landscapes are as obviously constructed as Treasure Island, a stretched octagon of landfill jutting awkwardly out from Yerba Buena Island in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. The island is constructed in a dual sense, however, as a technical object in continual flux and as a political mirror for San Francisco’s developmental ambitions. The most recent plan echoes an increasingly dominant commonsense regarding sustainable urbanism, calling for a futuristic, carbon-neutral eco-city of nineteen thousand new residents (see Sankalia, this volume). Its signature feature is the construction of a dense, walkable urban form connected by frequent ferry to San...

11. Groundwork: (De)Touring Treasure Island’s Toxic History
C. GREIG CRYSLER
As is the case with many feats of engineering, Treasure Island is often described through the scale of the technical achievements involved in producing it. The island was created from below the waters of the bay using industrial dredging techniques, a spectacle of production that formed a complementary narrative to the completion of the two bridges nearby. Both used the latest in engineering to cross between land; here dredging was used to produce an exploitable terrain. The process of forming Treasure Island’s four-hundred-acre surface took more than eighteen months. Twenty-five million cubic yards of fill was mechanically sucked and clawed..."]]]></description>

Neil Smith is a Professor of Anthropology and Geography and the Director of the Center for Place, Culture and Politics at the Graduate Center department of the City University of New York. Neil reads USA Today, America’s only national newspaper and the one with the largest circulation. The newspaper’s agenda of fostering national unity and consciousness through the dissemination of endless and useless trivia is analysed.

From Swiss bank accounts to international business consultants, there’s an entire network dedicated to helping the rich hide their money and avoid paying their fair share. This week, Adam sits down with journalist and author Atossa Araxia Abrahamian to discuss her book, The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World, and uncover the shady tricks the wealthy are using on a global scale."

"About The Hidden Globe

“Vivid, revelatory, and politically unpredictable…What bothers Abrahamian, in the end, isn’t the anarchic but the unfair; if capital is free, people deserve the same respect.” — Gideon Lewis-Kraus, The New Yorker

“A season of unrest looms ahead, and The Hidden Globe lays out the unvarnished truth in a luminous feat of reportage.”—Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist’s riveting account exposes a parallel universe that has become a haven for the rich and powerful.
 
A globe shows the world we think we know: neatly delineated sovereign nations that grant or restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside their borders, however, another universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, and increasingly for the benefit of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.

Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of this hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed their only commodity: bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Over time, economists, theorists, statesmen, and consultants evolved ever more sophisticated ways of exporting and exploiting statelessness, in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centers, charter cities controlled by foreign corporations, and even into outer space. By mapping this countergeography, which decides who wins and who loses in the new global order—and helping us to see how it might be otherwise—The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires."

"Freeports, Free Zones and Other Places With Perks — for the Rich
In “The Hidden Globe,” the journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian examines the rise of spaces where wealthy countries and companies bend rules and regulations to their advantage.

...

In the early 1960s, an American named Richard Bolin, who was working for the consulting firm Arthur D. Little, pitched an idea to the Mexican government. What if it put factories along its border with the United States and allowed them to produce goods that could be exported duty-free? The goal was to jump-start the economy in the border region while at the same time encouraging free trade. The factories built under this plan, called maquiladoras, exist to this day. The concept behind them — that you could siphon off part of a country and allow it to play by different rules — has spread globally.

Take, for instance, the Geneva Freeport, a warehouse complex where collectors can store, buy and sell art, wine and other valuables without being taxed. Or the Dubai International Financial Center, a 110-acre “free zone” spread across the center of Dubai where registered foreign businesses can benefit from tax breaks and expedited immigration procedures for employees. Or Próspera, a resort town on the Honduran island of Roatán that functions as a semiautonomous territory, with its own tax and governance system, as well as an e-residency program enabling people to incorporate a business there even if they don’t live on the island.

The rise and spread of these “extraterritorial domains” is the subject of Atossa Araxia Abrahamian’s new book, “The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World.” Abrahamian, a journalist who grew up in Geneva, a city rife with enclaves “bound by some Swiss laws, but immune from others,” traces the development of such zones, talking to some of the people who made them happen, including a few who regret their role in helping countries excise pieces of themselves in the name of allowing the already privileged to become even wealthier.

In Abrahamian’s telling, these features of what she calls the hidden globe have their roots in freeports, places that emerged centuries ago, originally in Italy, so that traders on long journeys could store perishable merchandise for a short time without having to go through local customs. But these zones have lately taken on a life of their own, she writes, as “capitalists, forever pursuing profit, regard liminal and offshore jurisdictions as frontiers.” Shipping companies have figured out how to reflag their ships, registering them to countries with less regulation. Nations have developed special economic zones exempt from tariffs and other taxes to attract foreign investment. And governments eager not to admit asylum seekers have established offshore domains where they can hold and process people arriving at their borders without documentation.

One interesting argument Abrahamian makes is that these exceptional areas came about as imperialism was declining; in some respects, they represent a less conspicuous form of colonialism. By setting up special economic zones, for instance, richer countries push poorer ones into participating in manufacturing and trade relationships without having to deal with local rules or regulations. In Mauritius in 1970, the Parliament passed a law giving tax breaks and customs exemptions to firms that produced exports; though the firms were located within the nation’s territory, they functioned as if they were outside it — not subject to normal protocols. The law led to an economic boom that generated jobs but not necessarily good ones. The concessions lowered the minimum wage and made women — the majority of the firms’ work force — more vulnerable to sexual harassment.

Abrahamian’s interviews with the people — the vast majority of them men — who helped develop and run these special economic zones provide a window into how just a few economists and consultants could change the way countries around the world operate. But her accounts of the conversations can be meandering, and sometimes divert her from a focus on the final product: the unusual jurisdictions her book seeks to illuminate.

Abrahamian is ostensibly looking at how wealthy nations and companies create zones for the benefit of capitalists and entrepreneurs, and for the states themselves. But some of her examples don’t fall obviously into this category. She devotes a heart-wrenching chapter to Abdul Aziz Muhamat, an asylum seeker from Sudan who spent years detained on Manus Island, which is part of Papua, New Guinea, but was used by Australia to detain migrants and prevent them from entering Australian territory. While Muhamat’s story is fascinating, Abrahamian does not explain how such “extralegal” zones figure in Australia’s economic interest. Moreover, as she acknowledges, almost all its offshore detention centers have been shut down, undercutting her argument that these places are hallmarks of the new world order.

Abrahamian ends her book with the tale of Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago with no passport control and thus where, at least in theory, anyone can live. In some ways, it is the anti-special zone: a place where capitalists can’t expect special treatment because no one can. “Svalbard suggests that out of the darkness we might coax some light,” she writes. Finding solace in a place without borders makes for a nice conclusion, but it skips over the question of what to do about the rest of the world — the hidden globe of Abrahamian’s title. The answer might require another book."]]]></description>

Why do some show sustained economic performance while others cycle up and down? In Keys to the City, Michael Storper, one of the world’s leading economic geographers, looks at why we should consider economic development issues within a regional context—at the level of the city-region—and why city economies develop unequally. Storper identifies four contexts that shape urban economic development: economic, institutional, innovational and interactional, and political. The book explores how these contexts operate and how they interact, leading to developmental success in some regions and failure in others. Demonstrating that the global economy is increasingly driven by its major cities, the keys to the city are the keys to global development. In his conclusion, Storper specifies eight rules of economic development targeted at policymakers. Keys to the City explains why economists, sociologists, and political scientists should take geography seriously."]]></description>

    <title>UBC Press | Broken City - Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis, By Patrick M. Condon</title>
    <dc:date>2024-10-25T04:31:48+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.ubcpress.ca/broken-city</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Why is housing so expensive? Patrick Condon contends that it is because, worldwide, the link between local wages and shelter pricing is broken. Many immigrants, racialized minorities, young people, and service workers are barred from joining the middle classes as they cannot build wealth through home ownership. Wages for workers, adjusted for inflation, stay flat, while housing costs multiply – a trend seen across the English-speaking world. Even when entrepreneurs open cute cafés and attractive shops, they are rewarded with rent increases that force them out of the district. Who benefits? The 1% who today own 20% of national income, versus 10% in the 1980s.

What can be done? Condon offers several examples of how cities have reclaimed land wealth from speculators and individuals for the common good and proposes a range of solutions, from ambitious ones like increasing land value taxes to quicker fixes like incentivizing construction of affordable homes, all inspired by real-world examples. Condon envisions a future where such efforts are prioritized, and land value, no longer driven by speculative investment, supports housing for the people who need it.

This is required reading for anyone puzzled by or experiencing the housing crisis, as well as scholars and students of urban planning, urban studies, geography, and political economy – particularly those interested in housing and land-use policy."]]></description>

    <title>‘Place authenticity’ is an important, overlooked part of life | Psyche Ideas</title>
    <dc:date>2024-10-10T21:08:09+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://psyche.co/ideas/place-authenticity-is-an-important-overlooked-part-of-life</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["From indie bookshops to artisan cafes, spending time in unique, characterful places can enrich your own sense of self"

...

"Defining place authenticity is not just an obscure academic question. Authentic places that maintain their historical and cultural integrity serve as anchors of identity, offering us a sense of belonging, stability and continuity. They act as safe havens from the increasingly standardised and commercialised environments that are widespread in modern society, providing refuge and a reminder of individuality and uniqueness amid the uniformity of everyday life. What’s more, place authenticity matters for personal authenticity – the feeling of being true to yourself that is so sought after amid the ever-changing dynamics of modern life.

In our research, when we asked our participants to write about a time they’d felt connected to a specific place, we found that not only did they feel that the place in their recollection was authentic, they also felt more personally authentic (albeit to a lesser extent). It’s as if the positive feeling of being connected to a place spilled over into how participants felt about themselves. These effects worked both ways: when we prompted participants to recall a time when they felt connected to themselves, they described feeling more personally authentic and, in turn, this personal authenticity increased their rating of the authenticity of the place they were in at the time.

This bidirectional relationship between place and personal authenticity is not only supported by our findings but also resonates with broader philosophical insights and everyday experiences. The philosopher Martin Heidegger argued that true ‘dwelling’ involves more than physical habitation; it requires a meaningful connection to our surroundings that fosters a sense of being truly ‘at home’ in the world. Similarly, the concept of topophilia, proposed by the geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, speaks to the affective bond between people and places, suggesting that environments rich in history, culture and sensory experiences enhance personal wellbeing and identity. This interdependence is also evident in contemporary trends, with many people expressing a preference for authentic experiences that resonate with their deeper values and emotions – such as visiting locally owned shops or historic neighbourhoods rather than over-standardised, commercialised spaces."

...

"The notion of place authenticity is also relevant to how we go about our lives as individuals. As Tuan highlighted with his concept of topophilia, when you have a love for certain aspects of your environment, it can give you a strong sense of place and of cultural identity. As such, loving where you live, work and play can deeply affect your emotional and psychological wellbeing. By seeking out and creating authentic places, you can enrich your life with a sense of rootedness and genuine connection. Look for environments that offer deep, lasting ties to their community and history. Visit local cafés, independent bookstores and historic neighbourhoods where the essence of the place is preserved and celebrated. Engage with spaces that have a strong sense of community and cultural significance. I don’t believe it is an exaggeration to say that by spending time in places that resonate with your values and emotions, you can experience a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I’ve experienced the powerful effects of place authenticity firsthand. I often find myself drawn to a small, independent coffee shop near my home, which has the aroma of freshly brewed coffee throughout the shop, offers the opportunity to work quietly, and the chance to buy goods from local artisans and vendors. It’s a place where the baristas know my name and where conversations flow easily among strangers. This space feels authentic to me in a way that a chain coffee shop never could – it’s filled with a unique character and a sense of community that resonates with my values of connection and creativity. Spending time there has become a ritual that grounds me and helps me feel more centred, reminding me of who I am beyond the busyness of daily life."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Digital technologies have changed how we shop, work, play, and communicate, reshaping our societies and economies. To understand digital capitalism, we need to grasp how advances in geospatial technologies underpin the construction, operation, and refinement of markets for digital goods and services. In The Map in the Machine, Luis F. Alvarez Leon examines these advances, from MapQuest and Google Maps to the rise of IP geolocation, ridesharing, and a new Earth Observation satellite ecosystem. He develops a geographical theory of digital capitalism centered on the processes of location, valuation, and marketization to provide a new vantage point from which to better understand, and intervene in, the dominant techno-economic paradigm of our time. By centering the spatiality of digital capitalism, Alvarez Leon shows how this system is the product not of seemingly intangible information clouds but rather of a vast array of technologies, practices, and infrastructures deeply rooted in place, mediated by geography, and open to contestation and change."

    <title>🟧 Overtourism destinations - One Thing</title>
    <dc:date>2024-08-29T21:01:07+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://onethingnewsletter.substack.com/p/overtourism-destinations</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Kyle Chayka: At last count, three of my friends have been traveling in the Dolomites in the past month, per Instagram evidence. By NYT standards, that’s enough for a trend piece. A year ago, I had never heard mention of them as a millennial destination. Now I’m familiar enough with the spiky peaks and Scotland-esque green valleys that I can identify them on sight. Of course, the Italian alps have always been compelling to travelers and perhaps hut-to-hut hiking is a pastime appealing to thirtysomethings in my demographic. But the sudden fad is interesting to observe. Different places seem to become fashionable every year, at different points in the year, the same way there’s always a new hot clothing brand (Dolomites = Loewe, in this case). As in fashion, classics get revived for a new season. Just observe TikTok’s obsession with the French Riviera in 2023.

Overtourism is everywhere. Pick a popular place, and you can probably find an article about it. This month, NYT reported that it’s ruining Barcelona, sparking protests with locals shooting squirt guns at tourists. It’s plaguing Kyoto, where residents are harassing tour guides. Santorini in Greece is having the “worst season ever” per CNN because cruise ships of visitors abandon the city by nightfall and don’t spend enough money: It’s both too crowded and economically unfeasible. Venice, the original overtourism victim, has a new fee for visitors as if it were an amusement park ride. Icelandic geography is getting trampled. Lisbon restaurants are offering lower prices to actual Portuguese.

In Barcelona, the deputy mayor said this of tourism: “We have to understand that the demand is unstoppable. The only thing we can do is control the supply.” A fascinating statement: There is no end of people wanting to visit Barcelona, so they must stop some percentage of people from being able to visit Barcelona. The city government does this by raising tourism taxes and banning Airbnbs, theoretically limiting tourists to the available number of officially licensed hotels and rooms. Barcelona had Google Maps remove a public bus route running to Parc Güell so that tourists wouldn’t destroy its usefulness for locals. (If the tourists can’t see it on their phones, does it even exist for them?)

This all leads me to wonder: Is there any way to truly prevent a place that is remotely appealing from being overrun? A destination must resist fashionability. Overinvesting on an ephemeral surge of tourism makes it even less economically sustainable, because when the surge passes, the excess revenue runs out and jobs disappear. It’s possible to stay off the touristic grid but only so long as some TikToker doesn’t blow up your spot. Like an obscure Japanese ryokan or a rural Aman resort, a destination could also be so expensive as to be inaccessible. (No one is that mad if the tourists are all extremely wealthy.) The ultimate resistance to tourism might be ugliness. If your city is unappealing enough, no one will want to go there. But then it might conversely become appealing for that very fact? See ‘90s Berlin. Tourism has become value arbitrage: Invest in an undiscovered place early so you don’t have to go there when it’s overrun.

One solution as a traveler is to intentionally visit a place during its off-season. Everywhere has one, it just might not be as perfectly appealing as Marseilles in July. But geography isn’t a ripening fruit that’s only good at one moment. The world is large and almost any corner of it holds something interesting. One memorable experience of our trip through Provence for me was stopping at a generic highway rest area (aire de service) to charge our glitchy electric car and walking inside to successfully order an espresso to go from the cafe’s grumpy staff in my terrible French. I had as much fun there as at some of the wineries. I’m not likely to intentionally plan a tour of international rest areas, as opposed to the Dolomites, but I might actually really enjoy that. It would be so generic as to be unique."]]></description>

1

I turn to my Rand McNally Atlas.
Europe appears right after the Map of the World.
All of Italy can be seen page 9.
Half of Chile page 29.
I take out my ruler.
In global perspective Italy
amounts to less than half an inch.
Chile measures more than an inch and a quarter
of an inch.
Approximately
Chile is as long as China
is wide:
Back to the Atlas:
Chunk of China page 17.
All of France page 5: As we say in New York:
Who do France and Italy know
at Rand McNally?


    2

I see the four mountains in Chile higher
than any mountain of North America.
I see Ojos del Salado the highest.
I see Chile unequivocal as crystal thread.
I see the Atacama Desert dry in Chile more than the rest
of the world is dry.
I see Chile dissolving into water.
I do not see what keeps the blue land of Chile
out of blue water.
I do not see the hand of Pablo Neruda on the blue land.


    3

As the plane flies flat to the trees
below Brazil
below Bolivia
below five thousand miles below
my Brooklyn windows
and beside the shifted Pacific waters
welled away from the Atlantic at Cape Horn
La Isla Negra that is not an island La
Isla Negra
that is not black
is stone and stone of Chile
feeding clouds to color
scale and undertake terrestrial forms
of everything unspeakable


    4

In your country
how do you say copper
for my country?


    5

Blood rising under the Andes and above
the Andes blood
spilling down the rock
corrupted by the amorality
of so much space
that leaves such little trace of blood
rising to the irritated skin the face
of the confession far
from home:

I confess I did not resist interrogation.
I confess that by the next day I was no longer sure
of my identity.
I confess I knew the hunger.
I confess I saw the guns.
I confess I was afraid.
I confess I did not die.


    6

What you Americans call a boycott
of the junta?
Who will that feed?


    7

Not just the message but the sound.


    8

Early morning now and I remember
corriendo a la madrugada from a different
English poem,
I remember from the difficulties of the talk
an argument
athwart the wine the dinner and the dancing
meant to welcome you

you did not understand the commonplace expression
of my heart:

the truth is in the life
la verdad de la vida

Early morning:
do you say la mañanita?
But then we lose
the idea of the sky uncurling to the light:

Early morning and I do not think we lose:
the rose we left behind
broken to a glass of water on the table
at the restaurant stands
even sweeter
por la mañanita"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Some of the most experimental and exciting work using sound and spatiality has come from the art world. This essay traces how an exciting hybrid of sound art and walking – the sound walk - has evolved over the last century. Examining the latest examples of sound walks in London and New York, and reflecting on the author's experience of creating a sound walk route, this essay focuses on the potential of this medium to create flowing, multi-sensory and embodied ways for social and cultural geographers to research the outside environment. The essay concludes that the medium could also be useful for presenting site-specific cultural geography to the public in an accessible and inclusive way.

Les œuvres sur le son et la spatialité parmi les plus expérimentales et stimulantes viennent du monde de l'art. Ce texte esquisse l'évolution au cours du siècle dernier de la promenade auditive qui est une forme hybride et stimulante de l'art auditif et de la promenade. Sur la base d'une exploration des représentations les plus récentes de promenades auditives créées à Londres et à New York et d'une réflexion personnelle sur l'expérience de concepteur d'un tracé de promenade auditive, ce texte est axé sur le potentiel de ce moyen d'expression de créer des méthodes qui sont fluides, multisensorielles et incarnées et qui permettent aux géographes sociaux et culturels de mener des recherches sur le milieu extérieur. Pour terminer, il est soutenu que le moyen d'expression pourrait aussi servir à présenter au grand public la géographie culturelle spécifique au site d'une manière qui soit accessible et inclusive.

Algunas de las obras más experimentales y fascinantes que emplean el sonido y la espacialidad provienen del mundo del arte. Este papel detalla la evolución durante el último siglo del paseo sonoro - un híbrido fascinante del arte sonoro y el paseo. Mediante un estudio de los ùltimos ejemplos de paseos sonoros en Londres y Nueva York y un reflejo de las experiencias del autor de crear una ruta para un paseo sonoro, este papel se centra en las posibilidades de este medio para la creación de modos fluidos y multisensoriales en que los geógrafos sociales y culturales pudieran investigar el entorno exterior. El papel concluye por sugerir que este medio también puede ser ùtil para presentar la geografía cultural de sitio específico al público de modo accesible e inclusive."]]></description>
