This photographic essay explores how obsolete smokestacks were recast as postindustrial monuments in the urban design-led “reconstruction” of Barcelona since the 1970s. Within the context of the “long goodbye” of deindustrialization, the accompanying text traces how industrial chimneys were re-signified and monumentalized. The images, result of a photographic survey of all remaining smokestacks in the city, frame these industrial obelisks within the transformation of their surrounding landscapes. They constitute a key element of an ongoing investigation melding creative practice and qualitative research, in which I argue that serial photography and participatory curatorial practice can elucidate the ambivalent experiences of deindustrialization.

The Chilean uprising has been defined by detractors and sympathizers as an “estallido social” or social explosion, alluding to its perceived transient character. Assumptions about spontaneity have similarly underpinned diagnoses of its political significance. It is either a problem to be pacified or limited for generating alternatives. This article problematizes this perceived transience, focusing instead on the event’s rhythms, atmospheres and materialities. The article seeks to contribute to projects of collective knowledge production that underline the need to archive, map and theorise events as lived history. Studying the uprising as lived history does not elicit a particular response but rather initiates an investigation into what it makes possible. The figure of the atlas is developed for such an investigation. An atlas curates the emerging archive by composing images and text, not to close off meaning but rather allow for imagination to enter the realm of knowledge.

Interregnum is that moment of crisis in society wherein forces of dislocation and disruption cause, or at least open space for, the potential collapse or reorganization of hegemonic order, the space of the not-yet and, as such, epistemically opaque. It is this image which perhaps best captures those early and unsettling days of the pandemic: moments and spaces which I now attempt to represent herein through selected meditations on everyday life. These meditations—or traces as I see them now, were initially written in the spring and summer of 2020. I resurrect them in a world meaningfully distinct from that of those first weeks, a world all too similar still.

By connecting artworks with their historical and environmental contexts, writing about art introduces new ways to understand the ecological histories of this changing world. Art writing is more than art history; it uses narrative nonfiction to tell stories of individual encounter and collective imagination. Situated amidst concerns for the threat of global climate change and alongside research into blue economies in South-east New South Wales (NSW), Australia, this article tells stories of coastal change recorded in artworks. We demonstrate how art writing can offer a bridge between concerns about human impacts on coastal ecosystems, and hopes for what we collectively imagine our future to be. The article offers art writing as an effective interdisciplinary research model for describing thought and felt relationships with our coastlines, past and future.

Because contemporary climate change is driven by anthropogenic forcings, it is necessary to factor humanity’s impact into climate models. Given that not all humans are responsible for current climate change, and that many people are already unequally impacted by climate change, it is necessary to develop a more nuanced understanding of the human in climate modeling. Without this nuance, future climate policy, as determined by climate modeling, will potentially replicate historic inequalities that are already present in attributions to and impacts from a rapidly changing climate. This paper begins by briefly outlining how climate models are built, and the ways they are used in climate politics. Then, borrowing methods from climate modelers, this paper turns towards Sylvia Wynter’s work to model the human. The ultimate aim of this paper is to think more expansively and creatively about how genres of humanity can better be represented in climate science and policy with an eye towards more just futures.

The contemporary genre of climate fiction can be thought of as the stories we tell ourselves about our changing global climate. Thus, it is important to understand the dynamics behind the production and circulation of those stories. This article first reviews how geographers have begun to analyze these questions with regard to climate fiction. Some analyses reflect a certain “ideology critique,” similar to Fredric Jameson’s theories of allegory, while others foreground the agency of fiction in prefiguring political futures. This article also shows how recent suggestions that Gillian Hart’s theorization of articulation bridges the classic disciplinary divide between historical materialist and poststructuralist accounts, in addition to work in the subfield of literary geography, are relevant in this case. After discussing examples of “ideology critique” and what I term the “fiction-as-change-agent” critique, I examine how theorizing articulation can help show the dialectical relationship between ideology and fictive agency in the context of contemporary climate fiction. I do this in reference to two recent works of climate fiction: Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island (2019) and Lydia Millet’s A Children’s Bible (2020).

Place-based digital storytelling can transform conversations about environmental challenges. Yet, co-creating digital stories also has the power to transform those involved in producing them. This is the critical reflection of an interdisciplinary team of lecturers and students who produced their own contextually situated resources to spark conversations about, and public awareness of, land use classifications environmental issues in Aotearoa New Zealand. The resulting short film on land use and podcast series on environmental issues challenges us to imagine new human-environment futures and highlights the existing disconnects and constraints that have limited our ability to achieve them. This case study will be useful for others interested in creating similar projects.

In this article I turn to creative practice as a way to focus attention on Anthropocene unsettledness within more mundane and everyday circumstance, what I frame as the “everyday Anthropocene.” For this I explore the potential of generating sensibilities helpful in attuning to ongoing uncertainty and distress. Drawing on existential philosophy and mindfulness practices, I employ a speculative design framework to design everyday artefacts with troubling qualities. Such work, I suggest, demonstrates the “polyarchic” capacities of creative experimentalism in devising quotidian strategies within ongoing vicissitudes of Anthropocene dwelling.

This article explores how irregular migrants in/visibilise themselves in socio-spatial contexts in Finland. Drawing upon new materialist thinking, specific strategies of in/visibilisation are interpreted herein as fully part of irregular migrants’ lawscapes, that is, of their ontological movements and the material interplays between laws and spaces, allowing bodies to create their own desired spaces of survival. This article is part of a larger research project using ethnographic methods and a new materialist approach to explore irregular migrants’ everyday lives in Finland. It shows how law is embodied by individuals and, thus, materially influences and affects their movements and emotional activities.
