This commentary responds to Jayne and Valentine's (2023) call to rethink the geographies of alcohol, drinking, and drunkenness. It introduces recent observations on the prevalence and absence of alcohol drinking within academic research and workspaces in China, and in doing so highlights how a relational approach to the geographies of alcohol is needed in overcoming existing impasses in alcohol studies.

Future-making allures with creating new spaces of possibilities, even amid apocalyptic times. However, in response to the call for more emphasis on what new possibilities emerge from geographies of the impossible, we question an overtly affirmative and hopeful focus on the making of new spaces and futures. We argue that the fugacity of emergent possibilities, coupled with the socio-material persistence and discursive hegemony of the old, constitute powerful mechanisms of future- unmaking that need to be critically examined.

Smart cities have gained increased traction worldwide. This commentary situates smart cities in the context of Southern urban settings. I demystify urban informality and recast informality as a valuable marker in the study of smart cities. Reiterating Prasad et al.'s appeal to explore the centrality of informality for smart city planning and development in the Global South, I contend that informality holds epistemic value, particularly in highlighting smart city diversity, heterogeneity, and incompleteness. Accordingly, I advocate for a critical lens and analysis that fosters a more open and inclusive understanding of the intersection of informality and smart urbanism.

This commentary argues that the practicability and viability of conjunctural analysis as a method can only be assessed and developed through collective efforts at stress-testing. I draw on key elements of Peck's method to offer a reflexive account considering the contours of a conjunctural analysis of Chinese state entrepreneurialism. I show how conjunctural analysis allows me to identify and understand the multiplex causality of China's shift in approach to urban redevelopment, and to develop relevant midlevel concepts which help to revise and broaden understandings of state entrepreneurialism. Rather than a one-to-one mapping between case and concept, conjunctural analysis has the potential to allow researchers to theorise geographical phenomena across time and space, where multiple lines of analyses and conceptualisation can enable horizontal and vertical theorisation, offering erstwhile obfuscated analytical insight and theoretical generativity.

The strength of the analysis of extended urbanization proposed in Simone et al.'s (2023) ‘Inhabiting the Extensions’ resides in its fascinating ability to bring together a focus on micro gestures and individual decisions with a structural analysis of global capital flows, geopolitics, and climate change. The collective work of ethnographically diving in nine locations across the world, and bringing together these reflections, generated a rich and complex understanding of city-making processes through spatial and temporal extensions.
Simone et al.(2023)《居住在扩展区》中提出的扩展城市化分析的优势在于其将对微观姿态和个人决策的关注与全球资本流动、地缘政治和气候变化的结构性分析结合在一起的迷人能力。在世界各地九个地点进行民族志潜水的集体工作，并将这些反思汇集在一起，通过空间和时间的扩展，对城市建设过程产生了丰富而复杂的理解。

Jayne and Valentine offer opportunities to engage with alcohol, drinking, and drunkenness in ways that do not unreflexively reproduce ‘alcohol studies’ ontologies and epistemologies, which are infused with moralising, disciplining, and normalising discourses. I expand their contribution by proposing two ways to account for the complexities of alcohol, drinking, and drunkenness. First, I argue that the concept of ‘vital flows’, drawing on the work of Stern, can contribute to the proposed research agenda, giving agency to an array of more-than-human actants. Second, I contend that a participatory research design, including ‘open’ novel methods, can allow insight into relational geographies. I illustrate this through a proposed empirical account with young people in Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities, who have been underexplored in relation to drinking geographies and beyond.

One of the main preoccupations of contemporary (feminist) urban theory is to conceptualize social reproduction, infrastructures, and everyday as the constitutive elements of the processes of urbanization. In this commentary, I engage with McFadden's contribution to these efforts from the standpoint of the study of concept formation. This commentary dwells on McFadden's theoretical object of knowledge (i.e. ‘infrastructures of social reproduction') within the empirical context of ‘educational landscapes’ both in terms of the method of its construction and the political consequences of this method. I argue that while it is important to insist on the inseparability of social reproduction and infrastructures within the spatiotemporal unfolding of urbanization, our theoretical attempts must go beyond asserting this inseparability to be able to produce transformative social knowledge of the (non-)urban. A way in this direction, I suggest, is the method of recuperation of the specificities that produce social reproduction and infrastructures as both indivisible and individual under concrete socio-spatial histories, conditions, and principles.

Inspired by Jamie Peck’s recent article on conjunctural methodologies, we discuss how geographers might interpret these troubling times. We hope to keep the conversation going by suggesting that a strength of conjunctural analysis lies in trying to get to grips with multiple crises without always knowing precisely where to look. Another strength of this approach is to take seriously all the cultural and political work involved in the articulation of different struggles, tensions, and contradictions combining in complex, and sometimes surprising, ways. So, in addition to looking inward to economic geography, we suggest that thinking conjuncturally might also involve looking elsewhere to ask what's at stake in the present moment – in all its complexity – in order to bring other political possibilities into view.
