The perspectives of Brazilian geography for the twenty-first century are guided by a conception of the world that highlights differences and a theoretical-methodological attitude that favors the dialogue and mixture of approaches, theories, and methods. In Brazilian geography, the highlighting of differences and dialogues informs geographical perspectives that value the space of the ‘insider's point of view’ as well as a theoretically and methodologically less unilateral and more multidimensional approach. Examples of these trends include (1) research on the production of space from the standpoint of people's everyday lives and critiquing the spaces of capitalism, racism, and sexism; (2) integrative approaches to landscape studies of environmental problems at the local scale; (3) autonomous socio-spatial practices in both rural and urban areas. A plural, mixtured, and creative geography with political, social, and environmental engagement will be one of the contributions of Brazilian geographical thought that will shape the geographies of the future.

Ecological collapse and the proliferation of digitally mediated relations are two conjoined elements of the ‘technonatural present’, which pose varied challenges and openings for the future of geographical thought and praxis beyond the delineated sub-disciplinary concerns of more-than-human and digital geographies. In this commentary, we draw attention to the inseparability, now and into the future, of geographical thought and praxis from digital mediation. This mediation is also central to forms of encounter, exploitation, and governance shaping human-nonhuman relations. Within this complex nexus of humans, nonhumans, environments, and technologies, it is crucial to critically examine how nature is made (mediated) and remade (remediated), by whom, for whom, and with whom. We call for research that affirmatively centres the potentials for progressive digitally-mediated environmentalisms, drawing from Agnieszka Leszczynski and Sarah Elwood's work on ‘glitch epistemologies’. To conclude, we point to a series of themes and questions that geographers might usefully engage with as they navigate digitally (re)mediated catastrophic times.

The cover image of the book (Simone, 2022), a still from the media installation, Strikes at Time, by the Raqs Media Collective, conjures up the city in a play of shadows and light, nameless spirits and dreams, with the shadowy figure of the rebellious worker dominating the frame. It offers the appropriate atmospherics for a book that foregrounds a different kind of city – where nothing is what it seems. Workers are more than workers, inhabiting time and space differently to produce something undeniably urban but that is not anchored in the city form. AbdouMaliq is a master provocateur and, similar to his earlier works, this book succeeds eminently as a provocation to poke at that which we see as settled, tilt our angle of view and expand our appreciation of uncertainty. The concept of The Surrounds is at the heart of this book, one that Simone invokes as ‘simultaneously the spaces, times and practices within and beyond capture’ (ix). Variously described as ‘a mode of accompaniment’ (iv), ‘urban infrastructure’ (1) or a ‘kind of urbanization from below’ (9), the surrounds seems amorphous due to the many forms it assumes. But it is compelling precisely because its improvisational poetics so accurately encapsulates those aspects of urban life that we sense and experience but elude capture in conventional urban studies thought and language. Most evident at the extensions of urbanization, The Surrounds represent ‘a type of territorialization possible when extensive and extended urbanization is no longer rooted within the city form and thus dependent upon multiple articulations of different ways of doing things and different logics of settlement and production’ (ix). The surrounds then emerge as highly heterogenous spaces where disparate urban forms, tenure regimes, financing circuits, legalities and contested territories proliferate. Rather than being held together by some overarching, discernible logic, they operate as ‘strange accompaniments’ to each other (4). In the spaces of The Surrounds, things disappear and others take their place, provisional alliances bind, for a time, but then the rules shaping what is possible are remade. Time seems to be lived differently here. Residents deploy the gaps, interstices and disjunctures of these disparate and changing formations as openings, as infrastructure to generate new possibilities and create something unanticipated. The surrounds thus provide the space for grounding different kinds of rebellious practice through which ‘life can be enacted in ways beyond capture in oppressive situations’ (28). Simone’s meditations on time and formulation of itineraries have been tremendously insightful in explorations of my own city, Mumbai, where urbanization is being extended in unanticipated ways and forms. While emphasizing that the surrounds is that which eludes capture, Simone offers clues for urban researchers to cognize it – ‘a domain that exists by a different way of seeing the urban but also as one that exist
这本书的封面图片(Simone, 2022)是Raqs media Collective的媒体装置作品《罢工时刻》(Strikes at Time)的剧照，在光影、无名的灵魂和梦想的游戏中，让人想起了这座城市，而叛逆工人的模糊形象占据了画面。它为这本书提供了合适的氛围，展现了一个不同类型的城市——在那里，一切都不是表面上的样子。工人不仅仅是工人，他们以不同的方式居住在时间和空间中，创造出一些不可否认的城市，但却没有固定在城市形态中。阿卜杜勒·马利克是一位挑衅大师，与他早期的作品类似，这本书作为一种挑衅，成功地戳中了我们认为已确定的事物，倾斜了我们的视角，扩大了我们对不确定性的欣赏。围绕的概念是这本书的核心，Simone称之为“同时捕捉空间、时间和实践”(ix)。不同的描述是“一种陪伴模式”(iv)，“城市基础设施”(1)或“一种自下而上的城市化”(9)，围绕似乎是无定形的，因为它具有多种形式。但它之所以引人注目，正是因为它的即兴诗学如此准确地概括了我们感知和体验的城市生活的各个方面，而传统的城市研究思想和语言却无法捕捉到这些方面。最明显的是，在城市化的扩展中，周边地区代表了“当广泛和扩展的城市化不再植根于城市形式，从而依赖于不同的做事方式和不同的定居和生产逻辑的多种联系时，可能出现的一种领土化”(ix)。随后，周边地区出现了高度异质的空间，其中不同的城市形式、权属制度、融资回路、合法性和争议领土激增。它们不是由某种总体的、可辨别的逻辑维系在一起，而是以“奇怪的陪伴”的方式相互作用(4)。在《周围》的空间中，事物消失，其他事物取而代之，暂时结盟，但随后塑造可能的规则被重新塑造。这里的时间似乎过得不一样。居民将这些不同的、不断变化的结构的缝隙、缝隙和裂缝作为开口，作为基础设施，产生新的可能性，创造意想不到的东西。因此，周围的环境为不同类型的反叛实践提供了空间，通过这种实践，“生活可以以超越压迫环境的方式制定”(28)。西蒙娜对时间的思考和行程的制定在我自己的城市孟买的探索中是非常有见地的，在那里，城市化正在以意想不到的方式和形式扩展。在强调周围环境是无法捕捉的同时，Simone为城市研究人员提供了认识它的线索——“一个以不同的方式看待城市的领域，同时也是一个通过循环的制定而存在的领域，重复和重新校准为路线”(39)。我将行程作为一种方法，揭示了一种看待城市的方式，它取决于运动和时间性。

In this commentary, I explore what an artists’ process offers to city-making: how urban experimentation can open up hopeful, surprising, and imaginative urban encounters and futures. By doing so, I imagine a future for geographical thought and praxis lying partly in the interesting places where they overlap with artistic practice. I ground this thinking on the unstable surface found in the years immediately following the 2010–11 earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was into a wasteland of post-earthquake demolition that ‘ordinary citizens’ started to insert creative interventions (known in the literature as do-it-yourself, or DIY, urbanism). I explore how an understanding of creative ‘flow’ helped me untangle what was particular and unique about the uprising of DIY urbanism in post-earthquake Christchurch. From the ‘doing’ of creative practitioners in the city during this time emerged a different and new energy: an imaginative, hopeful, open-ended feeling of the possibilities hidden behind the facade of grey rubble. In particular, I examine how existing work in the geohumanities around hope and temporalities resonates with DIY urbanism and consider what artistic practices may have to offer geographical thought and praxis.

This speculative genealogy of trends in the written forms of geographical scholarship, 2020–2043, explores the dramatic transformations in the discipline that came with a ‘neo-formalist’ turn towards critical reflection on and experiment with the formal aspects of geographical writing, including structure, genre, voice, and style. At the start of the 2020s, the forms, genres, and styles of academic geographical writing in Anglophone research journals were still rather homogeneous in form. Experiments with form were mostly restricted to sub-disciplinary silos. Following a series of important scholarly interventions, the discipline started to reflect more earnestly on the different kinds of authority that are claimed through the use of particular written forms and authorial personas. Whereas in the early decades of the 21st century, authorial personas were mostly confident, self-assured, decisive, and expressing a ‘mastery’ of concepts, the turn towards greater critical analysis of geography's written forms led to a proliferation of authorial personas, often rejecting personas associated with ‘mastery’ and instead exploring hesitation, anxiety, indecision, passivity, improvisation, unreliability, plurality, failure, humour, and self-deprecation, as ways of claiming different, more egalitarian forms of epistemic authority. This genealogy concludes that despite the problem of eclecticism, this turn towards greater methodological reflection on geography's written forms has greatly enriched the discipline from the mid-2020s until today.

To think through the dispositions automated systems attempt to generate, it is key to understand how automated systems relate to the environments in which they operate. Developing Lin et al.’s important arguments around dispositions towards automation, this short response suggests the concept of disposition can be broadened to think about non-human dispositions more widely. To do this, the response forwards the notion of environmental disposition; a kind of fundamental state that all entities find themselves in, whereby entities are compelled to enter a more or less provisional position or grounding in an environment or milieu.

Instead of generating a grand theory from urban China, I have a rather modest aim – how we might use the political-economic perspective to better understand China's urban development politics. Rather than treating empirical materials and theoretical insights as discrete entities, describing China should itself be regarded as a process of theorisation, contributing to a more global Urban Studies. We illustrate how ‘state entrepreneurialism’, as a quite peculiar form of governance, is generated from the conjunctural development of global capitalism and its crises. Hence, the role of the state is not a starting point for theoretical enquiry but rather a historical and material development of China's political economy.

Across the different vernaculars of the world's urban majorities, there is renewed bewilderment as to what is going on in the cities in which they reside and frequently self-build. Prices are unaffordable and they are either pushed out or strongly lured away from central locations. Work is increasingly temporary, if available at all, and there is often just too much labour involved to keep lives viably in place. Not only do they look for affordability and new opportunities at increasingly distant suburbs and hinterlands, but for orientations, for ways of reading where things are heading, increasingly hedging their bets across multiple locations and affiliations. Coming together to write this piece from our own multiple orientations, we are eight researchers who, over the past year, joined to consider how variegated trajectories of expansion unsettle the current logics of city-making. We have used the notion of extensions as a way of thinking about operating in the middle of things, as both a reflection of and a way of dealing with this unsettling. An unsettling that disrupts clear designations of points of departure and arrival, of movement and settlement, of centre and periphery, of time and space.

Prevailing approaches to resolving the climate crisis further entrench and extend the same institutions of racial capitalism and colonial domination which have precipitated this crisis. The need to build transformative movements to fight for climate justice is dire. Yet, transformative movements are inevitably structured by many of the same dynamics they oppose. This presents a risk that such movements may reproduce colonial or otherwise unjust relations in the worlds they seek to bring about. We point to four areas of tension where we see this dilemma playing out within efforts to build decolonial climate justice movements, and briefly discuss some questions that arise for scholars committed to this work.

This presents a risk that such movements may reproduce colonial or otherwise unjust relations in the worlds they seek to bring about. We point to four areas of tension where we see this dilemma playing out within efforts to build decolonial climate justice movements, and briefly discuss some questions that arise for scholars committed to this work.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45237533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
