Kimberley Peters’ book Sound, Space, and Society: Rebel Radio is a rara avis in the vast skies of media geography. It is devoted to the omniscient placelessness of the radio, where sound (and music) create acoustic territories that are simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. On a personal level, this book resonates with me as a disc jockey in a college station in northcentral North Carolina where disc jockeys control the content of the music in a free-format radio that can be listened both in its streaming and radio-broadcast platforms. As a disc jockey, I am a specter without material presence operating for a faceless audience. The radio audience themselves hear all kinds of sounds from a faceless disc jockey who manages the airwaves: sounds range from challenging pentatonic noise to actual sounds (field recording) emanating from the intimate spaces of the radio station. In Peters’ book, she situates Radio Caroline’s “illicit” broadcast from the watery contexts of the seas that occupy a liminal space that continually defines and redefines outlaw and “pirate.” The forum for Sound, Space, and Society: Rebel Radio stems from two attempts to mount an author-meets-critics panel session for the American Association of Geographers (AAG) in both 2019 and 2020. Both panel sessions never materialized because of logistical conflicts and COVID-19. The commentaries here are from panelists who have since read Peters’ book more than once: Catherine Wilkinson, Tyler Sonnichsen, and Sara Beth Keough. Kimberley Peters herself responds to the provocations raised by the panelists. It is my hope that the commentaries and response will inspire readers to peruse Peters’ book, and continue the conversation on sound in geography, the blurring of territories, and liminalities of “pirate” and “outlaw.”—JOSEPH PALIS, University of the Philippines-Diliman

ABSTRACT This paper investigates spatiotemporal dynamics of the effects of urban form on the Covid-19 spread within local communities in Salt Lake County, Utah, in the United States. We identify three types of communities—minority, traditional urban and suburban, and new suburban—and three stages throughout March 2020—September 2021, reflecting the initial, outbreak, and recovery stages. While the traditional urban and suburban communities experience the least risk of Covid-19, minority communities are severely impacted in the initial and outbreak stages, and remote suburban communities are primarily affected in the outbreak and recovery stages. The regression further reveals the role of urban form in the pandemic. High-density urban land use is the main density factor contributing to the disease’s spread. In the initial stage, mobility factors such as street connectivity and walkability contribute to the local spread, while land use mixture is the catalyst in the outbreak stage. A comprehensive compact development might offset these negative effects on local public health, and its contribution to local resilience in the recovery stage is also confirmed. Thus, compact development is still valuable for building urban resilience, and proper planning and policies can offset the potential adverse effects of pandemics.

ABSTRACT Since the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, municipalities are increasingly addressing reconciliation in their practice, including new engagement with Indigenous heritage and public memory. Nevertheless, municipal perspectives of heritage are frequently colonial and result in commemorative landscapes that reinforce official national narratives of history and identity. These landscapes limit expressions of Indigenous heritage and reinforce settler ignorance. This article explores settler-colonial commemorative practice in the context of reconciliation in Canada and presents what was learned through conversations with Indigenous peoples in Kingston, a mid-sized city in Ontario, Canada. It emphasizes the need for productive settler discomfort in addressing settler ignorance and considers how reimagined places of public memory might unsettle hegemonic heritage narratives in Canadian cities. Noting the limitations of settler-Canadian commemoration in the context of reconciliation, it posits how decolonizing commemorative practices might offer new pathways for building relations.

P atagonia evokes images of a remote, unpopulated frontier region endowed with a variety of undisturbed natural environments, including arid steppes, high mountains, fjords, forests, and ice fields. Despite idealized depictions, the expansive region, which encompasses the southernmost tip of the South American continent, faces many of the challenges related to development and conservation experienced across Latin America. Today, as the global economy and modern practices extend into its most isolated areas, financial and human flows are shaping Patagonia in familiar, yet novel, ways (Mendoza et al. 2017). New infrastructure, large hydraulic projects, the tourist industry expanding south, green grabbing, and rapid urbanization are some of the footprints of these processes. These conditions are reshaping the relationships between local people and the environment as Indigenous communities reclaim land and reassert their culture, tourists stream to natural attractions activating local economies, corporations and governments unleash their latest conservation plans, and dreamers and wonderers from around the world proclaim new lifestyles in remote locations. This special issue brings together articles that question mainstream representations of Patagonia to reveal a dynamic place where multiple stakeholders grapple with the profound consequences of globalization and colonization, both historic and recent. They do so from a uniquely Latin American perspective—all the authors are based at Chilean and Argentine universities. As such, they are influenced by and contribute to currents in Latin American thought in humanenvironment geography, Indigenous geographies, and environmental justice perspectives. The articles invite us to consider Patagonia from a territorial (territorio) perspective, which considers how territory is constructed through the encounter between local, place-based groups, and often global, power dynamics (López Sandoval et al. 2017). Many Latin American geographers use this territorial approach, giving the term a much broader understanding. It addresses the web of forces that shape the connections between culture and nature, involving how people dwell and establish relations with the surrounding environment. Thus, territory condenses culture, social and political relations in space, and is permeated by the processes of colonization and the expansion of capitalist modes of production.
巴塔哥尼亚给人的印象是一个偏远、无人居住的边境地区,拥有各种未受干扰的自然环境,包括干旱的草原、高山、峡湾、森林和冰原。尽管有理想化的描述,但这片广阔的地区,包括南美洲大陆的最南端,面临着许多与拉丁美洲的发展和保护相关的挑战。今天,随着全球经济和现代实践扩展到其最偏远的地区,资金和人力流动正在以熟悉而新颖的方式塑造巴塔哥尼亚(Mendoza et al. 2017)。新的基础设施、大型水利项目、向南扩张的旅游业、绿色掠夺和快速城市化是这些进程的一些足迹。这些条件正在重塑当地人民与环境之间的关系,土著社区开垦土地,重申他们的文化,游客涌入自然景点,激活当地经济,公司和政府发布最新的保护计划,来自世界各地的梦想家和奇迹家在偏远地区宣布新的生活方式。本期特刊汇集了质疑巴塔哥尼亚主流代表的文章,揭示了一个充满活力的地方,在这里,多个利益相关者都在努力应对全球化和殖民化的深刻后果,无论是历史上的还是最近的。他们从一个独特的拉丁美洲视角出发——所有的作者都来自智利和阿根廷的大学。因此,他们受到拉丁美洲人文环境地理学、土著地理学和环境正义观点思潮的影响并作出贡献。文章邀请我们从领土(territorio)的角度来考虑巴塔哥尼亚,它考虑了领土是如何通过当地、基于地点的群体之间的相遇而构建的,通常是全球的权力动态(López Sandoval et al. 2017)。许多拉丁美洲地理学家使用这种地域方法,使这个术语有了更广泛的理解。它解决了塑造文化与自然之间联系的力量网络,涉及人们如何居住和建立与周围环境的关系。因此,领土在空间上凝聚了文化、社会和政治关系,并被殖民和资本主义生产方式的扩张过程所渗透。

ABSTRACT Bear management in New Jersey is controversial. The Division of Fish and Wildlife’s policies have not reassured factions who oppose their tools, namely hunting, despite being informed by science. This study applies qualitative content analysis to 43 policy documents to understand how actors pursue policy objectives, and how they are shaped. I find that actors pursue their policy objectives by making hybrid arguments that, in addition to science, involve history, values, and institutional power. Thus, they make scientific claims—or claims to what the science might mean—that are incompatible with each other. This study identifies four ways in which this occurs: science gets framed, science gets applied to certain ends, science gets weaponized, and science gets minimized. Comprehending the ways in which these factors supplement and frame science could reduce conflict, improve communication, and build consensus.

ABSTRACT The U.S. is currently experiencing an unparalleled transformation of its commemorative landscapes. Statues and memorials that have stood for decades are being removed. In particular, memorials associated with the Confederacy from the American Civil War are being addressed. The case of commemoration of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York, offers a unique perspective on the difficulties of untangling the many legacies of the Civil War that are commemorated in the American landscape. Lee was a graduate of the Academy, a Superintendent, and had a distinguished career as an Army officer, before joining the Confederacy. He became its most prominent and honored General. The evolution of Lee’s landscape commemoration at West Point parallels significant historical events in American society and within the Army over more than 150 years. An examination of this evolution in a broader geographical and historical context is warranted.
