Abstract. Human-animal relations are often experienced viscerally. These corporeal, affective, sensual and emotional realities cannot easily be put into words and adequately expressed through linear and textual forms. For this reason, this paper investigates the potential of comics in more-than-human geographies. It identifies three different ways of how geographers approach this field of research and communication: (1) comic analysis, (2) comic semiotics and (3) comic practice. In their comic drawings geographers try to make specific viewpoints, moments, emotions and relations visible that have been underexposed either socio-politically or in terms of scientific practice. The article then discusses more-than-human qualities of comics, arguing that graphic narratives emerge as productive tools to reveal „the in_between“ of humans and nonhumans. It further describes an exemplary approach to a collaborative comic and how visceral or nonverbal aspects in human-animal relations can be expressed and experienced, using the empirical study of returning wolves to Switzerland.

Abstract. Introductory texts in population geography are often organized using a sociological approach to demography (Barcus and Halfacree 2018:2; Newbold 2014:6). This is particularly evident in discussions on the concept of family. Both sociology and geography center concepts like marriage, divorces, births, the number of children in a household, and the composition of households. However, many of these concepts are outdated, with limited value for understanding contemporary social change. As the editorial to this special issue suggests, population geography must look to other fields for concepts that describe subjects' meaning-making. Interpretive family studies' conceptual and methodological approaches can help reconfigure established assumptions about the term “population” (Gubrium and Holstein 1993; LaRossa and Reitzes 1993; Bösel, 1980; Burgess, 1926). While classic population geography research does engage with new mobility and flexibility regimes and pluralization tendencies, it often fails to identify their consequences for lived experiences and intergenerational relationships. This limits scholars' understandings of new living conditions and practices, as well as their consequences for central concepts of mobility, for example, co-presence, absence, relocation, and residential location. This also occurs with the concept of “family”, which is generally applied to mono-local nuclear families in a household unit. In this contribution, we draw on classic and contemporary interpretive research to (re-)evaluate the multi-locality of families and theories of co-presence to extend the concepts of family and space within population geography (see also Halatcheva-Trapp et al., 2019a). By transcending standard quantitative categories (e.g., the household, fertility, simplified models of mobility), we offer interpretive insights to better conceptualize an important topic in population geography – the family.
摘要人口地理学的入门文本通常使用社会学方法来组织人口统计学(Barcus and Halfacree 2018:2;纽伯尔德2014:6)。这在关于家庭概念的讨论中尤其明显。社会学和地理学都以婚姻、离婚、生育、家庭子女数量和家庭构成等概念为中心。然而，其中许多概念已经过时，对理解当代社会变化的价值有限。正如本期特刊的社论所建议的那样，人口地理学必须在其他领域寻找描述主体意义形成的概念。解释性家庭研究的概念和方法方法可以帮助重新配置关于“人口”一词的既定假设(Gubrium和Holstein 1993;LaRossa and Reitzes 1993;Bosel, 1980;伯吉斯,1926)。虽然经典的人口地理学研究确实涉及新的流动性和灵活性制度以及多元化趋势，但它往往未能确定它们对生活经历和代际关系的影响。这限制了学者对新的生活条件和实践的理解，以及它们对流动性核心概念的影响，例如共同存在、缺席、搬迁和居住地点。“家庭”的概念也出现这种情况，它一般适用于一个家庭单位的单一地方核心家庭。在这一贡献中，我们利用经典和当代的解释性研究来(重新)评估家庭的多局地性和共同存在理论，以扩展人口地理学中家庭和空间的概念(另见Halatcheva-Trapp等人，2019a)。通过超越标准的数量类别(例如，家庭，生育率，简化的流动性模型)，我们提供了解释性的见解，以更好地概念化人口地理学中的一个重要主题-家庭。

Abstract. In light of recent pink bollworm (PBW) pest infestations in several cotton-producing states in India, farmers of genetically engineered Bt cotton (Bt for Bacillus thuringiensis) have faced fierce criticism for their noncompliance with the national insect resistance management (IRM) strategy. We argue that this criticism is short-sighted and one-dimensional. Building upon the literature on policy assemblages we show that the implementation of the IRM strategy in India was seriously flawed due to government-induced mistranslations of foreign strategies in the form of policy-diluting alterations. We first show that India's IRM strategy differs substantially from successful strategies pursued in the USA or China. Second, we present results from a representative survey in the state of Telangana (n= 457) and show that India's IRM strategy neglects moral economic considerations and entrepreneurial agricultural logic that Indian cotton farmers strive for. We conclude that pink bollworm pest infestations in India are not the fault of farmers but rather the result of a mismanaged biotechnology project undertaken by the Indian government and its associated responsible ministries.
