Abstract
The call for granular geographies represents an interesting intervention in the nexus between old and new materialisms in human geography. While there is a need to look beyond reclamation as volumetric expansion of territory, this commentary discusses how we can think about locating granular geographies in the complex nexus between the conceptual spaces of the ‘tropics’ and ‘temperate.’ This is in addition to theorizing how a singular grain of sand is capable of militarizing and gendering the Southeast Asian island state.
