“05BH004 (1915–2019)” is a poem that has scientific data embedded in its form. Historical hydrometric data were used to create visual constraints for this creative work, which is a fusion of poetry and scientific information that functions as an unconventional way to interrogate data, a science communication tool, and a stand-alone piece of literary art. “05BH004 (1915–2019)” is a case study in generating poetic constraints from data while simultaneously performing process through its poetic narrative.

Humans and rivers have shared an intimate relationship since prehistoric times. This curation uses visual representations to explore some of the many ways that humans interact with these geographical features. Through photographs, a political map, and line art, it invites the reader to consider the myriad and changing demands we impose on fluvial systems through quests for access, natural capital, territory, well-being, and power.

The “field” has long been contested as spatially and temporally bounded. Feminist epistemologies have re-imagined and engaged field/work as shared, messy and co-constitutive, while critical more-than-human methodologies in the transdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities are further expanding our understanding of who and what counts in the production of knowledge in the field. This compendium article orbits around a collective concern for the sharedness of bodily and planetary ecologies through field/work. It brings together cross-disciplinary accounts of field encounters that critically explore what it feels like to do this work and what it entails. With a focus on practice and process, the six contributing authors—researchers, artists, practitioners, writers—consider how nonhumans share in our research, shaping the work we do, the questions we ask and the responses we craft. Together, they offer thoughtful provocations on the troubling and promising ways in which human and non-human bodies become unsettled and rearranged through field encounters.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent UK lockdown were a catalyst for mass waiting. This paper will focus on a phenomenon, a particular form of waiting observed in shopping queues during lock down in the North East of England. Waiting practices formed through the COVID-19 pandemic have opened new forms of feeling, requiring new forms of articulation. As such the paper experiments with language and form speculatively describing feelings and temporalities through a metaphor, suspension. Initially the paper outlines what waiting is and does in order to provide a touchstone when considering the feelings formed within new practices of waiting. It then outlines and considers what liquid suspension can open as a writing device. Then working with suspension and aligned concepts of surface and viscosity, the paper explores the morphologies of mood and sensation felt and shared within COVID-19 pandemic shopping queues.

A key challenge for geographers today is to enable and develop creative practice that imagines and engenders alternatives to existing political, economic and ecological practices. This paper examines the applied theater project The Factory of the Future. The project used critical creative methodologies wherein collaborative, improvised, speculative, and open-ended future scenarios were imagined. The paper reflects on the facilitation of the project in order to develop a practical understanding of how capacities for transformation can be nurtured through applied theater.

In settler-colonial nations such as Aotearoa, New Zealand, ecosystem degradation and restoration of coastal estuaries and their catchments are typically framed through a scientific lens and often privilege patriarchal beliefs and epistemologies. A consequence of colonization in Aotearoa is that sediment(ation) pollution is deemed undesirable, and science is needed to control and solve such ecosystem challenges. However, there remains a tendency to prioritize science over other ways of knowing. Therefore, ecosystem management strategies and restoration practices fail to attend to the dynamics of social differentiation within Indigenous groups concerning settler-colonial power. Indigenous peoples bring nuanced ways of knowing and being whereby relational ontologies and ethics are imperative starting points. Relational ontologies reshape knowledge production to ensure more ethical and just relationships with nature. We use an intersectional lens to highlight the gendered, ethnic, and natured dimensions of sediment(ation) pollution. We show how pollution manifests differently across intimate scales (body, local), demonstrating the far-reaching effects of settler-colonialism violence. This article presents Indigenist geo-creative narratives from four Māori women regarding their lived experiences and realities of sediment(ation) pollution. Using practices familiar to and chosen by them, narratives are richly nuanced, political and recalled in relational and affective terms. We intend to disrupt and bring forth a relational vision of sediment(ation) pollution as a socially just and equitable way of managing and restoring ecosystems.

Transforming Justice is a collaborative project that aims to challenge the dominant narratives of policing and segregation in Milwaukee through community workshops, visual arts and storytelling, and experimental mapping. This Practices and Curations contribution describes one of the project’s collaborations, a design challenge, that aimed to create and imagine new ways of visualizing (in)justice and place in Milwaukee. Engaging feminist principles of supporting multiple perspectives, the curation comprises visuals and narratives from four of the groups that participated, using their own voices and emotional tenor to describe their design processes. Working toward abolitionist design, we conclude with reflections on (1) embracing pluralism and enabling multiple design processes, (2) centering authorship and ownership, (3) exposing and contesting dominant narratives, (4) exploring dynamic and relational visual representations, and (5) incorporating tangible materials for inclusive design.

In this creative mediation we explore measures of the coronavirus pandemic—unfolded through the seemingly simple act of ‘physical distancing’—to show the myriad of mobility, wayfinding, and spatial orientations that shape the socio-material fabric of collective life. Physical distancing has mandated new measures of how people orient their body amongst other bodies in public space. In-situ measurements of spatial and affective registers attempt to alleviate possible contagions while adhering to health advice. The importance of measurement and the practice of measuring has never been as obvious and integral to daily life. However, the notions of measure—how one feels, moves, acts, thinks, and reflects—have been long imbued in the governance of collective goals, practices, and action. We highlight performative, sensory, and aesthetic responses to these new measures, suggesting these individualised performances of measure should be indicative of the sensory shifts required to tackle possible future crises and changes.

“Trust is the most joyous kind of bond with another living being. But isn’t it true that whenever we enjoy being with someone, there is [both] a factor of risk there, and also a factor of trust, which gives our enjoyment an edge of rapture?” (Lingis (2004),x). Trust is akin to a permeable border, solid but skin-thin, that makes possible connections between Other and self, self and world. A hitchhiker exercises trust when surrendering to another but, as a prerequisite to a successful journey, also submits to indeterminacies and ambiguities of chance encounters. Trust is openness, but also an acceptance of risk. Whilst on the road, it is impossible to know who you will travel with next. Trust guides and draws lines and dots on the map. Trust determines the length of waiting times at petrol pumps; it regulates feelings of safety; and shapes geographic contours. Trust is an emotion that welcomes becoming. In contrast, a lack of trust impedes the friendship necessary to move the hitchhiker’s body; provokes feelings of danger; and, inevitably, will hamper the fluency of lines on the map. Trust is the fundamental stuff of hitchhiking. But, what is trust? How does it look like, feel like, how is it evoked, and where is it located? Does it have a color, a gender? Drawing insights from the phenomenological work of Alphonso Lingis and my own personal experiences being-on-the-road, this contribution analyses geographies, feelings and the sensing of trust associated with and experienced in hitchhiking.

In a 1947 paper, John K. Wright proposed the term “geosophy” to capture “the study of geographical knowledge from any or all points of view,” a discipline that would explore all “geographical ideas,” both “true and false.” This geosophy has led to a certain interest in parallel, imaginary or popular geographies. In the field of French-language geography, it will continue late in the day in a questioning of para-geographies produced by amateur or nonacademic geographers, rather close to certain Anglo-Saxon debates relating to popular geographies. His article attempts to reverse this point of view by turning these para-geographies into legitimate theories of space that are not recognized as such, as they are stated in a language other than that of science. It is a more poetic language, which resorts to allusion, implicit and imagery, whereas scientific writing prefers clarity, explicitness and factuality. As a result, these parallel geographies have not been elevated to the rank of a certain scientific dignity by the institution of geography and, more broadly, the sciences interested in the territory. I explore here some of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s productions by focusing on the geographical knowledge of which they are both the product and the vector. To do so, I mobilize literary and film materials from his oeuvre. If Pasolini was not a researcher, as defined by academia, he was at least someone who was searching. His work, which aimed at broadening reflection on the way society functions, with a view toward its spatial organization, might have contributed to geographic knowledge.
在1947年的一篇论文中，约翰·k·赖特(John K. Wright)提出了“地理哲学”一词，以捕捉“从任何或所有角度研究地理知识的学科”，这门学科将探索所有“地理观念”，无论“真与假”。这种地理哲学导致了对平行、想象或流行地理的某种兴趣。在法语地理领域，今天晚些时候将继续对业余或非学术地理学家提出的准地理学提出质疑，这与某些与流行地理学有关的盎格鲁-撒克逊辩论相当接近。他的文章试图通过将这些准地理学转化为不被认可的合法空间理论来扭转这种观点，因为它们是用一种非科学的语言来陈述的。它是一种更诗意的语言，采用典故，含蓄和意象，而科学写作更喜欢清晰，明确和事实。因此，这些平行地理学并没有被地理学机构提升到某种科学尊严的地位，更广泛地说，对这一领域感兴趣的科学。我在这里探索一些皮埃尔·保罗·帕索里尼的作品，重点是地理知识，它们既是产品又是载体。为了做到这一点，我从他的作品中调动了文学和电影材料。如果帕索里尼不是学术界定义的研究人员，他至少是一个在探索的人。他的工作旨在扩大对社会运作方式的思考，并着眼于其空间组织，这可能对地理知识有所贡献。
