Abstract. This article examines the constitution of affective atmospheres that arise through the encounter of scientific and theatre practices. Using an autoethnographic approach, the presented work focuses on a collaborative theatre project on the climate crisis. Here, the author performed in the role of a scientific expert next to colleagues that have a climate change-related research background. Three aspects of affective atmospheres emerging in the rehearsal process are analysed: one's position in the interplay of powerful materialities, the relationality of sensual bodies, and the (in)stability of scientific identities. This paper shows that the artistic collaboration opens up space for reflecting on science that seek to overcome ostensible dualisms of subject/object, mind/body, and reason/emotion. It emphasizes the opportunity of art to bring into account body, more-than-humanity and relationality as part of scientific practices in times of anthropocentric debates facing climate change.

Abstract. The article examines how citizens' initiatives use articulations of proximity in the context of emotionalized environment perceptions for demanding the integration of protective bicycle infrastructure in urban design. In order to do so, we present a variety of material consisting of images and language that was created in 2020 as part of various bicycle demonstrations in Berlin-Neukölln. These flyer texts, posters, speeches and photos help to understand how concerns about safety and quality of life are articulated in a language of proximity. What is perceived as closer spatially (urban spaces of everyday use such as streets in front of individuals' doors, regularly frequented cycling routes) becomes intertwined with what is perceived as closer in time, i.e. imminent and already occurring “great phenomena” (Everts, 2016) such as climate change and scarcity of resources. In our study, we assume that bicycle demonstrations function as transformation experiences. Bicycle demonstrations are motivated by emotions such as fear or anger, but can also generate different emotions such as joy and sense of community in the course of protest. For the duration of the demonstrations, streets become lived spaces suitable for bicycles, while the power relations that otherwise determine urban road traffic are challenged for a short amount of time. The experience of closeness becomes one of belonging and self-determination. It is these appropriations of space that mark bicycle demonstrations as a form of protest worth investigating, since they contribute to transforming emotions and intensifying perceptions of one's own environment.

Abstract. The debate on the political role of Ratzel's thinking during the first half of the 20th century usually focuses on Nazi Germany and the concept of Lebensraum, but provides little information about its reception in other linguistic contexts. In order to fill this gap, the paper explores the re-elaboration of Ratzel's political geography in Italy from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the fascist period, when the term of “spazio vitale” (living space) became a key element of the Italian projects for the postwar “new order”. The paper argues that the Italian understanding of Ratzel oscillated between irredentist and imperialist interpretations, deeply influenced by the domestic and international situation. Moreover, it traces how the second interpretation emerged at the very beginning of the century – long before Rudolf Kjellén and Karl Haushofer – and gained momentum in the 1930s, as Italian intellectuals used the concept of living space to promote expansionism and the trilateral rapprochement with Germany and Japan.

Abstract. With the Paris Agreement, it was decided to limit global warming to below two degrees. Hence, national governments are currently confronted with the challenge of implementing concrete climate protection measures. This poses a major challenge especially for Germany, as the phase-out of low-emission nuclear energy additionally increases the pressure to rapidly promote the expansion of renewable energies. Unfortunately, there is a great variety of potential regional energy strategies, which differ considerably in terms of landscape implications. Therefore, we analysed the spatial restructuring of energy supply and the associated social conflicts. To do so, we modelled potential regional energy landscapes that can be derived from the two-degree target and visualised them based on Geographical Information Systems by using five scenarios involving changes to the planning guidelines. The analyses reveal that the development of a carbon-neutral energy system is possible. Yet the potential spatial patterns of renewable energies differ considerably. Furthermore, it becomes obvious that spatial planning must take greater account of the perspectives of those social groups facing the installation of renewable energies in the very vicinity of their own living environment.

Abstract. Grown from radical geography roots, political ecology (PE) emerged half a century ago and is now a diverse, scientifically mature field. In German speaking countries, geographical PE was introduced with a time delay of twenty years. This article evaluates perspectives (views, arguments, positions) of the first generation of PE research in geography, i.e. largely structuralist historical materialism and discursive approaches, and compares them with second generation research, i.e. poststructuralist and, among others, new (vital) materialism views. It is argued that, paradoxically enough, both old and new approaches are to be blamed for their ambivalence towards policy (politics, activism, social praxis), while some new approaches face substantial criticism for their opaqueness and pluralist grab bag character of themes. With a focus on emancipatory perspectives, a distinct repositioning of (geographical) PE is suggested on radical roots, i.e. integrating libertarian Marxist ideas with anarchism so as to confront hierarchy/domination and enable direct actions for socioecological transformation.

Abstract. With this contribution (which is designed as a positioning), the author pleads for a more consistent consideration of structural influences in the discussion of mortality in (textbook) population geography, and for a critical discussion of these influences. He refers to various conceptions that already have fixed places in human geography – but not in population geography – and that offer starting points for corresponding discussions.

Abstract. While a broad debate on carceral geographies has been part of human geography and related disciplines in English-speaking academia, there are only scarce publications among German-speaking geographers. This special issue aims at bringing different researchers (Tobias Breuckmann, Julia Emprechtinger, Sarah Klosterkamp, Nadine Marquardt, Marco Nocente, Marina Richter and Anna Schliehe) and their rich and diverse research insights in the carceral field into a dialogue. What started with a session at the 2019 conference of German-speaking geography (Deutscher Kongress für Geographie), developed into a special issue that encompasses papers based on the contributions to the session as well as additional papers that round up the insights into current research in carceral geographies in German-speaking countries. The papers show the importance of applying a carceral geography perspective to research in German-speaking geography to focus on different institutions, places and spaces that share common carceral characteristics. In addition, the focus on German-speaking researchers also adds to the international debate on carceral geographies with specific insights from the national contexts.
摘要在英语国家的人文地理学和相关学科中，关于人文地理学的广泛讨论一直是人文地理学和相关学科的一部分，而在德语国家的地理学家中，这方面的出版物却很少。本期特刊旨在将不同的研究人员(Tobias Breuckmann, Julia Emprechtinger, Sarah Klosterkamp, Nadine Marquardt, Marco Nocente, Marina Richter和Anna Schliehe)及其在医学领域丰富多样的研究见解带入对话。从2019年德语地理会议(Deutscher Kongress f r geographhie)的一次会议开始，发展成为一个特刊，其中包括基于会议贡献的论文，以及收集对德语国家当前地理研究见解的其他论文。这些论文显示了将地理视角应用于德语地理研究的重要性，以关注具有共同地理特征的不同机构、地点和空间。此外，对讲德语的研究人员的关注也增加了国际上关于地理研究的辩论，从国家背景中获得了具体的见解。
