This paper examines how young trans people come to be positioned as, and subsequently feel, ‘out-of-place’ in certain everyday spaces, particularly in the socio-political context of the contemporary UK. Through the stories of young trans people aged 14–25 collected via participatory research, I question what it feels like to be young and trans and to experience and embody such dislocating feelings as ‘out-of-placeness’ and socio-bodily dysphoria, and what toll repeatedly experiencing such embodied emotions exacts on young trans people, their bodies, and life trajectories. To do so, the experience of misgendering and deadnaming, others' hostile gazes, and what I refer to as socio-bodily dysphoria, are introduced as examples of common modes of cisnormativity and ‘out-of-placeness’ experienced by participants. I build on Sara Ahmed's work on the socio-spatial positioning and experience of non-conforming or disruptive bodies to examine how trans youth and marginalised folk more generally become ‘out-of-place’ and experience ‘out-of-placeness’ in everyday space-times that are not affectively, socially, or materially structured to expect their bodily presence, facilitate their participation, or enable their active agency, particularly on gendered terms. Importantly, a central contribution of the article involves articulating a spatial conceptualisation of socio-bodily dysphoria. In sum, I develop geographical analyses of young trans people's everyday encounters and crucially build geographical understandings of the emergence and fixity of socio-bodily dysphoria and everyday marginality through the voices and stories of trans youth.

In this paper we introduce the concept of ‘domestic colonisation’ as a contribution to the literature on critical geographies of home. This provides a lens to focus on the ways in which domestic spaces might be exploited and/or dominated though familiar relationships. With reference to two research projects in North East England, we explore everyday occupations and sieges of home-spaces by neighbours as a means of reinforcing positions of relative social advantage. We show how these experiences become overwhelming through the intrusion of home-spaces and (with it) the life worlds of already structurally vulnerable(ised) communities. Domestic colonisation allows us to think through both the damage done through/to the home and connections beyond those spaces. To do this we focus on ‘home takeovers’ (or ‘cuckooing’) and ‘hate relationships’. Our work on cuckooing shows how the occupation and control of the home by those who re-produce and seize upon structurally vulnerable(ised) people, is a process which re-configures the home as an exploitable resource. Understandings of home and intimate social relationships as ‘private’, combined with complexities regarding culpability, conceal the damage done in contexts of diminished social infrastructure. With reference to our work on hate relationships, we outline how homes are a means of identifying and targeting those who become subjected to a range of hateful acts. This produces everyday spaces of siege and entrapment that control, immobilise and are difficult to escape. Formal interventions are unable to adequately support those victimised through lack of recognition, misrecognition as atomised disputes and a tendency to (re)move those victimised. We end by questioning how we might better address the needs of those subjected to such harms, with an emphasis on the relational production of the home.

This editorial introduces the second collection of ‘Geography in the World’. It highlights three key concerns raised by the contributors: the tension between conservative and radical approaches; collaborating across the global North–South divide; and diversity in Geography teaching programmes. Building on Part 1, the collection offers a resource for exploring some of the key challenges and opportunities geographers face globally.

Here we respond to the five commentaries on Mallin and Sidaway (Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 2023). This enables us to clarify our conception of the dialectic of geopolitics and geoeconomics and expand on the suggestions of how best to situate geoeconomics in historical geographical contexts. We thereby outline some agendas for undertaking critical geoeconomics.

This commentary on Felix Mallin and James Sidaway's (2023; Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 00, 000) article on ‘Critical geoeconomics’ returns to the German Historical School of economics to recall their emphasis on geography, history and culture, but also their frequent advocacy for imperial expansion and colonial annexation. It revisits the divide between the Historical School's vision of the world economy and that of Austrian School marginalists and suggests that we can understand geoeconomics as the expression of a desire for sovereignty in an era of mutual interdependence.

Picking up where Mallin and Sidaway (2023, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers) left off, this commentary makes a case for popular geoeconomics—as well as geoeconomics beyond the Beltway. We address the dialectical tension between geoeconomics and geopolitics as it is demonstrated through popular and geo‐dispersed renderings of the concept. Geoeconomic visionaries drive geopolitical relations not only by revaluing land, labour and resources across space but through their everyday enactments and popular expressions. We comment on how geoeconomics is enrolled into popular culture and plays out through the Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie, as well as its articulation beyond the Anglosphere in Mandarin language scholarship. The geoeconomics debate in Mandarin, as well as its mediation by celebrities, formidably contribute to the refashioning of the global geoeconomic landscape. In doing so, we expand the critical genealogy of geoeconomics as a concept, field of inquiry and everyday experience, and account for the semiotic limits of the archive.
接续 Mallin 和 Sidaway(2023 年,《英国地理学家学会论文集》)的论述,这篇评论为大众地理经济学--以及 "环城公路 "以外的地理经济学--提供了论据。我们探讨了地缘经济学与地缘政治学之间的辩证紧张关系,这一紧张关系通过对这一概念的大众化和地缘分散化渲染而得以展现。地缘经济学家不仅通过对土地、劳动力和资源的跨空间重估来推动地缘政治关系,还通过他们的日常实践和流行表达来推动地缘政治关系。我们评论了地缘经济学如何融入大众文化,如何通过好莱坞偶像安吉丽娜-朱莉(Angelina Jolie)以及普通话学术界对地缘经济学在英国以外地区的表述。普通话中的地缘经济学辩论及其通过名人的中介作用,极大地促进了全球地缘经济景观的重塑。在此过程中,我们扩展了地理经济学作为一个概念、研究领域和日常经验的批判谱系,并解释了档案的符号学限制。

This commentary reviews the origins and context in which the author's conception of ‘geoeconomics’ emerged. As such, it responds to Mallin and Sidaway's (2023) genealogical reconstruction of geoeconomics, rejecting their association of the concept with the ultra-nationalistic iterations of Geoökonomie in Weimar Germany. The author reflects on the reception of his notion of geoeconomics, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of the associated ideas in France and the United States.

Introducing a special commentary section focused on geoeconomics, this paper reviews why such commentary is especially timely given current world events and the break-down in neoliberal globalisation. It thereby points to the geo-historical importance of the call for critical geoeconomics made by Mallin and Sidaway (2023a), and also introduces the backgrounds of the five commentators on their article's key contributions.

This intervention paper discusses the recent paper on the history of geoeconomics by Mallin and Sidaway. Some notes are made on the conceptual potential of critical geoeconomics vis-à-vis contemporary geopolitical scholarship. A particular focus is on the relationship between the concepts of geoeconomics and geopolitics. Conceptualising geopolitical and geoeconomic discourses as if they were distinct or even complementary geostrategic discourses – typical especially in mainstream strategic analysis and International Relations – risks reproducing the discursivism and noncritical outlook of state-centric geostrategic arguments.
