Stricter immigration attitudes are associated with rurality. I argue that rural consciousness can help explain this tendency; those Americans higher in rural consciousness should theoretically see undocumented immigrants as a lower-status out-group unduly favored by decision-makers. Using ANES data, I find that colder feelings toward undocumented/illegal immigrants and harsher immigration policy attitudes significantly and positively associate with rural consciousness for rural/small-town residents. This is not moderated by partisanship or racial resentment, though the effect is stronger for non-whites. Further, exposure to an experimental treatment article sympathizing with rural way of life being disrespected – i.e., highlighting rural people being disrespected, which is an element of rural consciousness– results in significantly warmer feelings toward undocumented immigrants for rural/small-town respondents compared to those in the control condition. Conversely, exposure to an article about racial demographic changes in rural areas, or to a lagging rural economic recovery article, did not consistently or significantly affect the outcome variable. This study both confirms links between rural resentment or consciousness in similar contexts, while providing evidence that such a relationship is driven by feelings of in-group disrespect over economic or racial/ethnic threat.
更严格的移民态度与乡村性相关。我认为,乡村意识有助于解释这种倾向;理论上,那些乡村意识较强的美国人应将无证移民视为地位较低的外来群体,受到决策者的不当青睐。通过使用 ANES 数据,我发现对于农村/小城镇居民来说,对无证/非法移民的冷淡态度和对移民政策的苛刻态度与乡村意识有显著的正相关。这并不受党派或种族怨恨的调节,尽管对非白人的影响更大。此外,与对照组相比,接触一篇同情农村生活方式不受尊重的实验性文章(即强调农村人不受尊重,这也是农村意识的一个要素),会使农村/小城镇受访者对无证移民的感情显著升温。相反,接触一篇关于农村地区种族人口变化的文章或一篇滞后的农村经济复苏文章,并没有持续或显著地影响结果变量。这项研究既证实了类似情况下农村人的怨恨或意识之间的联系,同时也提供了证据,证明这种关系是由群体内不尊重经济或种族/民族威胁的情绪所驱动的。

Making sense of clandestine graves: Material epistemology and the political geography of uncertain knowledge 地下坟墓的意义:物质认识论与不确定知识的政治地理学

How might we begin to establish meaning, understanding and justice out of something that is meant not to be found? In this article, we approach the growing problem of clandestine graves to ask what can be read from them, including why they matter, why they are found, and how they are becoming an intractable part of life for millions of citizens. Departing from the clandestine graves of São Paulo and Mexico, we argue that these material spaces are produced by ambiguous governance structures, and in turn reproduce them in ways that are unevenly knowable. The characteristics of these spaces that are otherwise shrouded in suspicion and deliberate efforts to make them unknowable reveal patterns and practices of political order while simultaneously creating certainty and fear about the governance they perpetuate. In taking the mass grave as an epistemology, we seek to establish identifiable tenents and patterns for further research and action while recognizing the challenges in asserting a knowledge claim about material spaces that are so intentionally, but unevenly, unknowable.
我们如何开始从那些注定不会被发现的东西中确立意义、理解和正义?在这篇文章中,我们将探讨日益严重的秘密坟墓问题,询问从这些坟墓中可以读出什么,包括它们为什么重要、为什么会被发现,以及它们如何成为数百万公民生活中难以解决的一部分。从圣保罗和墨西哥的地下墓穴出发,我们认为这些物质空间是由模棱两可的治理结构产生的,反过来又以不均衡的可知方式再现了治理结构。这些空间的特征本来是笼罩在怀疑和刻意使其不为人所知的努力中的,但它们揭示了政治秩序的模式和实践,同时又为它们所延续的治理创造了确定性和恐惧感。在将万人冢作为一种认识论的过程中,我们试图为进一步的研究和行动建立可识别的原则和模式,同时也认识到对有意但不均衡地不可知的物质空间提出知识主张所面临的挑战。

Semiotic ideology and mutable sense of place: Chinese ecological urban renewal through the lens of advertising codes 符号学意识形态和可变的地方感:从广告代码透视中国生态城市更新

This paper analyses the structural shift of land management and landscape symbolization in urban Chongqing within the political framework of Chinese ecological civilization. It follows the entanglements of Chongqing's public service advertising (PSA) and upscale real estate commercial advertisement and their relationship with the local land renewal process in the 2010s. Based on multimodal discourse analysis, the semiotic deconstruction of visual-ideological allegories highlights institutional tactics aimed at modifying the sense of place perceived through the reconstruction of individual and social identities integrated into a highly politicized and commodified urban landscape. The paper reflects on the epistemological production of spatial knowledge through the instrumental use of representational resources and their historical-mythical code modalities. It also sheds light on how PSA and commercial advertisement may enforce familiar state-driven narratives in authoritarian regimes, questioning diachronic perceptions of nature and dwelling habits in a partially atomized post-socialist society. In so doing, the paper enriches the discussion on the urban ecology-selective (green) gentrification nexus, offering a contextualized perspective of ideological power on environmental protection conveyed through media content technology.
本文在中国生态文明的政治框架下,分析了重庆城市土地管理和景观符号化的结构性转变。本文关注 2010 年代重庆公益广告与高档房地产商业广告的纠葛及其与当地土地更新进程的关系。在多模态话语分析的基础上,对视觉意识形态寓言的符号学解构凸显了旨在通过重建融入高度政治化和商品化的城市景观中的个人和社会身份来改变地方感知的制度策略。本文通过对表象资源及其历史神话代码模式的工具性使用,对空间知识的认识论生产进行了反思。它还揭示了公益广告和商业广告如何在专制政权中执行人们熟悉的国家驱动的叙事,质疑在部分原子化的后社会主义社会中对自然和居住习惯的非同步认知。因此,本文丰富了关于城市生态-选择性(绿色)城市化关系的讨论,为通过媒体内容技术传达环境保护的意识形态力量提供了一个背景视角。

This paper applies cuerpo-territorio (body-territory) to aquatic space through the bilingual concept of agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory. Based on a 2018 article that I wrote in Spanish and titled “Espacios acuáticos desde una descolonialidad hemisférica feminista” [Aquatic space from a decolonial and feminist hemispheric perspective], I will further develop the concept of water-body-territory that brings together literature on cuerpo-territorio (body-territory) and agua-territorio (water-territory) resulting in a bilingual term agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory. This implies that I will translate parts of the mentioned article from Spanish to English while situating it within hemispheric debates on the individual and collective body autonomy in aquatic space. Agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory will further the conceptual discussions that cuerpo-territorio has garnered across the Americas in feminist academic and activist settings on embodiment and decolonial feminist geography methodologies, in particular the relationship between water and the embodiment of collective death. Moreover, as I will make the case in this paper, this translation process is a praxis of decolonial feminist geopolitics that can engage with debates on collective bodily autonomy for the Americas.
本文通过agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory这一双语概念,将cuerpo-territorio(身体-领地)应用于水生空间。基于我 2018 年用西班牙语撰写的一篇文章,标题为 "Espacios acuáticos desde una descolonialidad hemisférica feminista"[从非殖民化和女权主义半球视角看水生空间]、我将进一步发展 "水--身体--领地 "这一概念,将有关 "身体--领地"(cuerpo-territorio)和 "水--领地"(agua-territorio)的文献结合起来,形成一个双语术语 "水--身体--领地"(agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory)。这意味着,我将把上述文章的部分内容从西班牙语翻译成英语,同时将其置于半球关于水域空间中个人和集体身体自主性的辩论之中。Agua-cuerpo-territorio/water-body-territory 将进一步推进 cuerpo-territorio 在美洲女权主义学术界和活动家中引起的关于体现和非殖民地女权主义地理学方法论的概念讨论,特别是水与集体死亡的体现之间的关系。此外,正如我将在本文中论述的那样,这一翻译过程是非殖民化女权主义地缘政治学的一种实践,可以参与有关美洲集体身体自治的辩论。

What repoliticisation means and requires: Creating the climate for disagreement 再政治化的含义和要求:为分歧创造氛围

This paper makes a conceptual distinction between repoliticisation and politicisation and evaluates what this means for post-foundational political geography and its collective endeavour of achieving a more egalitarian future. Post-foundational political geography is being consolidated as a distinct disciplinary subfield. Within the existing body of literature, significant attention has been directed towards depoliticisation and post-politicisation, but repoliticisation is yet to amass the same critical attention. While literature nonetheless considering repoliticisation treats it as almost synonymous with politicisation, in this paper, I argue repoliticisation is more specifically about enacting, or opening the door to, politicisations. To illustrate the case, I draw upon (auto)ethnographic, scholar-activist work, operating as a carbon accountant for the City of Manchester, UK, as part of a wider project evaluating the role experts (could) play in restricting and enabling political change. Taking post-foundational political geography's insistence that expert, technocratic modes of governance depoliticise seriously, and in mobilising this distinction between repoliticisation and politicisation, I explore what existing subjects like accountants can do to repoliticise. Doing so illustrates how repoliticisations could be triggered from within existing orders of politics and demonstrates how repoliticisation and politicisation are overlapping, related, yet distinct, concepts.
本文从概念上区分了再政治化和政治化,并评估了这对后基础政治地理学及其实现更平等未来的集体努力意味着什么。后基础政治地理学作为一个独特的学科子领域正在得到巩固。在现有的文献中,去政治化和后政治化受到了极大的关注,但再政治化尚未获得同样的批判性关注。尽管考虑再政治化的文献几乎将其视为政治化的同义词,但在本文中,我认为再政治化更具体地说是制定政治化或为政治化敞开大门。为了说明这一点,我借鉴了(自)人种学、学者-活动家的工作,作为英国曼彻斯特市碳会计的工作,作为评估专家(可能)在限制和促进政治变革中所扮演角色的更广泛项目的一部分。后基础政治地理学坚持认为,专家、技术官僚的治理模式会使政治非政治化,我认真对待这一观点,并在再政治化与政治化之间做出区分,探索会计师等现有主体在再政治化方面可以做些什么。这样做说明了如何从现有的政治秩序中引发再政治化,并展示了再政治化和政治化是如何相互重叠、相互关联但又相互区别的概念。

Strategic coupling of administrative rationality and cultural imaginaries in municipal amalgamations 市政合并中行政合理性与文化想象力的战略结合

Municipal amalgamations are widely applied interventions for enhancing policy delivery in a political-economic context of devolution, austerity, and decentralization of welfare states. This paper studies how public stakeholders in the Netherlands walked the tightrope between ‘hard’ political-administrative logic and ‘soft’ cultural-historical discourse to justify, institutionalize, and legitimize municipal amalgamations. It uses a theoretical approach that combines literature on the rescaling of state governance and cultural political economy. Based on a discourse analysis of amalgamation reports, the paper traces the constructed political-economic and cultural imaginaries of the 26 municipal amalgamations that took place in the country between 2018 and 2023. Imaginaries underpinning the Dutch decentralization discourse were purely political-administrative in content, both regarding the necessity to act and the solutions (i.e., municipal amalgamations). Alternative, relational forms of spatial decision-making were covered by an imaginary of inefficiency and limited democratic control. Cultural imaginaries were locally mobilized to retain the top-down political-administrative logic, and to allow the municipalities to position themselves in between the citizens and the state. The amalgamation reports reflected a sometimes-difficult discursive negotiation between administrative efficiency and culture, future and past, vigour and softness, and external and internal visibility of the new municipalities. The paper concludes that the spaces of territorially bounded ways of policymaking, including municipal mergers, are intrinsically relational, jointly material-discursive/symbolic, and fluid (i.e., process-based). The cultural political economy framework provides a useful interpretative framework for debates on politics of scale, state rescaling, and (re)territorialization.
在权力下放、财政紧缩和福利国家权力下放的政治经济背景下,市政合并被广泛应用于加强政策执行的干预措施。本文研究荷兰的公共利益相关者如何在 "硬 "的政治行政逻辑和 "软 "的文化历史话语之间游走,以证明市政合并的合理性、制度化和合法性。本研究采用了一种理论方法,将有关国家治理的重构和文化政治经济学的文献结合起来。基于对合并报告的话语分析,本文追溯了 2018 年至 2023 年间全国 26 个市镇合并所构建的政治经济和文化想象。支撑荷兰权力下放话语的想象在内容上纯粹是政治行政性的,既涉及采取行动的必要性,也涉及解决方案(即市镇合并)。低效率和有限民主控制的想象掩盖了空间决策的其他关系形式。文化想象在当地被调动起来,以保留自上而下的政治-行政逻辑,并允许市政当局将自己定位在公民和国家之间。合并报告反映了新市政当局在行政效率与文化、未来与过去、活力与软性、外部与内部能见度之间时而艰难的话语协商。本文的结论是,以地域为界限的决策方式(包括市镇合并)的空间本质上是关系性的、共同的物质-话语/符号性的、流动的(即基于过程的)。文化政治经济学框架为有关规模政治、国家重构和(再)领土化的辩论提供了一个有用的解释框架。

‘I felt’: Intimate geographies of sentient diplomacy 我感觉到了有知觉外交的亲密地理学

This paper explores feelings in diplomatic intimacies in the United Nations in New York. Drawing upon arguments in philosophy on emotional experience and supported by oral testimonies of diplomats, it supplements and complements the rich body of work on practices in diplomacy by exploring how feelings can reach out and be directed towards things in the world beyond the bounds of the body and this is part of the phenomenology of everyday diplomatic lives.

本文探讨了纽约联合国外交亲密关系中的情感。本文以哲学中关于情感体验的论点为基础,以外交官的口述为佐证,通过探讨情感如何能够触及并指向身体界限之外的世界事物,补充并完善了有关外交实践的丰富研究成果,这也是日常外交生活现象学的一部分。为了将国家外交人格化,我设定了三个相互关联的关键目标:首先,我展示了感受是如何与认知和感知联系在一起的,而不仅仅是认知和感知的结果。其次,我将感受与联合国安理会的情感背景联系起来,以揭示外交官个人的日常生存体验。第三,我揭示了在这一地缘政治环境中引发事件的重要意义,以及这些事件对外交官的个人意义,他们通过自己作为国家代表的感受来表达这些意义。这是一种理解政治地理学中外交的独特方法,也是研究联合国亲密地缘政治的首创方法。

Knowledge popularization in a technocratic-populist context, or how the Israeli state shaped media coverage of large-scale urban plans 技术官僚-平民主义背景下的知识普及,或以色列国家如何塑造媒体对大型城市规划的报道

In this study, we examine recent actions taken by the Israeli state to naturalize technocratic understandings of land-use plans through the mass media, and assess the implications of this for power-knowledge relations between the state, planners and citizens. Our research focuses on the years 2013–2018, when state planners and officials began working with PR agents to promulgate state-generated, pro-growth representations of plans through mainstream media outlets. We focus on coverage of three types of large-scale plans, all of which involve complex and varied knowledge contents: city master plans, new neighborhood plans, and urban renewal plans. Using critical discourse analysis and semi-structured interviews with key planners and journalists, we examined what kinds of knowledge and information about these plans were conveyed, and how. We found that a significant percentage (some 40%) of the articles published during this period were based directly on state-issued press releases, and exclusively conveyed state-sanctioned perspectives. We interpret this as an attempt by the state to highlight its own role in planning and housing, while taking advantage of journalists' lack of planning knowledge and pressure to publish in order to construct ‘citizen-technocrats’ whose knowledge mirrors that of state-affiliated actors. We situate these findings within the emerging academic discourse on “technocratic populism,” a form of governance in which populist regimes communicate technocratic knowledge directly to citizens, and show how mis/disinformation tactics usually associated with populist discourse now appear in planning communications in Israel. This practice, we argue, has served to entrench a shift toward a centralized form of neoliberalism, while promoting illiberal conceptions of state-citizen relations in the planning context.
在本研究中,我们考察了以色列国家最近采取的行动,即通过大众媒体将技术官僚对土地使用规划的理解自然化,并评估这对国家、规划者和公民之间权力-知识关系的影响。我们的研究主要集中在 2013-2018 年,当时国家规划人员和官员开始与公关人员合作,通过主流媒体渠道发布由国家制定的、有利于增长的规划表述。我们重点关注三类大型规划的报道,它们都涉及复杂多样的知识内容:城市总体规划、新社区规划和城市更新规划。通过批判性话语分析以及对主要规划师和记者的半结构式访谈,我们研究了这些规划传达了哪些知识和信息,以及如何传达的。我们发现,在此期间发表的文章中,有很大一部分(约 40%)是直接根据国家发布的新闻稿撰写的,而且只传达国家认可的观点。我们将此解释为国家试图突出自身在规划和住房方面的作用,同时利用记者缺乏规划知识和发表文章的压力来塑造 "公民技术官僚",他们的知识与国家相关人员的知识如出一辙。我们将这些研究结果与新兴的 "技术官僚民粹主义 "学术话语相结合,"技术官僚民粹主义 "是民粹主义政权直接向公民传播技术官僚知识的一种治理形式。我们认为,这种做法有助于巩固新自由主义向中央集权形式的转变,同时在规划领域推广国家与公民关系的非自由主义概念。
