Spaces of memory are part of communities’ collective memory and objectified in cultural heritage. Spaces just as memory and heritage can be understood as social constructs, whose production has to be analysed as a socio-political practice. With reference to Halbwachs’ work on collective memory, Lefebvre’s spatial triad relating to the production of social space and Martinez’ distinction between faith- and economic-based and economic-based immaterial heritage, the article highlights the social production of spaces of memory and the mutual relations between the entrenchment of collective memory and modes of production of space in Elx, a Spanish town decorated with two inscriptions on the World Heritage List: the Palmerar, a landscape of groves of date palms from the 9thcentury, and the Misteri, a medieval mystery play. Existing case studies and official documents complemented by interviews and participant observations were analysed to demonstrate the production of different kinds of spaces of memory and divergent practices to remember, and this is reflected in the preservation and transformation of cultural heritage.

The aim of this article is to contribute to the recent debate on the role and terminology of urban research in a time of ongoing global transformations. With the declaration of a (new) urban age, the evolution toward an almost global urban society, and the confrontation with dramatic urban transformations and developments, calls for a more cosmopolitan, planetary, and/or multipolar urban theory have become increasingly pronounced. New approaches have evolved that question whether concepts such as the global or neoliberal city are remnants of an old urban debate no longer suitable for conceptualizing cities. Have the “old” concepts of a global or mega city become obsolete? How can the critique be channeled into improving research on cities? This article tries to give some answers to these questions by structuring the debate into three arguments concerning the significance of a Southern perspective on urban studies, the difficulties of provincializing urban theory, and the implications for developing a new epistemology of the urban. It then offers insights into the need for and complexity of (doing) comparative urban research by applying a process-based view on space, place, and uneven development in order to deal with the aforementioned challenges.

This short semi-biographical intervention is about the emergence of the real-and-imagined figure of the cosmopolitan geographer. This figure is in many ways the by-product of the neo-liberalization of academia in Europe and is accordingly caught in a series of related dilemmas. The article thus focusses on a few issues linked to the challenges imposed by neoliberal academia to this specific emerging academic condition and on how such challenges affect personal careers and life trajectories. It also discusses the unintended, sometimes ambivalent, consequences of internationalization in diverse European contexts, in particular for the work of geographers based in non-English speaking countries. In additon, it reflects on the future of national disciplines, in particular the national geographical communities in Europe. I conclude by suggesting a few ways in which the experience of the cosmopolitan geographer may help in addressing, in constructive and possibly critical ways, precisely some of the challenges posed by neoliberal academia.

This commentary reflects critically on two key challenges of human geographical research - the relationship between academic mobility and international knowledge transfer, and the limitations and opportunities of bi- and multilingualism. Based on a historiographic and (auto)biographic approach, I develop a multidimensional concept of mobility and knowledge transfer between hegemonic and non-hegemonic contexts, and argue that national academic communities remain important in human geography because of different path-dependencies, languages, and time restrictions.

Academic internationalisation has remarkably accelerated in the contemporary period, opening up a lot of opportunities but also presenting new challenges for scholars. This paper scrutinises the complex impact of this process on human geographies in post-Communist East Central Europe. It discusses the language gap, the differences between dominant approaches in various national contexts, and the role of path-dependence and inherited structures from the Communist past, along with their impact on scholarly practice. It also investigates the uneven consequences of internationalisation at various scales and for different generations in academia. Finally, it underlines that these consequences, although they are comparable with similar trends all around the world, show some peculiar features in East Central Europe. This results from a specific, and, in global comparison, much more radical kind of neoliberalisation in this region after 1989, and from the fact that these changes have taken place in a special post-Communist context, with the neoliberal project and remnants of the Communist heritage making up a peculiar hybrid.
