Abstract
ABSTRACT Climate change represents a set of emergencies for humanity. Many geographers have argued that in order to repair and avert the damage that these confluent emergencies have and may-yet cause, a postcapitalist society is necessary. However, strategies for how this might be achieved often forgo any consideration of desire, which is problematic given the influence that desire holds over the ‘popularity’ towards which a postcapitalist politics may aspire. This paper reports on a psychogeographic walk to a church in Glasgow, taken by the author during the COP26 Youth March. Reflections on the role of the church amidst the roil of protest allows the author to imagine new ways in which movements striving for a climate-conscious postcapitalist future might engage with religion and spirituality in order to direct popular desires away from and beyond further climate breakdown.
期刊介绍：
The Scottish Geographical Journal is the learned publication of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and is a continuation of the Scottish Geographical Magazine, first published in 1885. The Journal was relaunched in its present format in 1999. The Journal is international in outlook and publishes scholarly articles of original research from any branch of geography and on any part of the world, while at the same time maintaining a distinctive interest in and concern with issues relating to Scotland. “The Scottish Geographical Journal mixes physical and human geography in a way that no other international journal does. It deploys a long heritage of geography in Scotland to address the most pressing issues of today."
