Abstract

This essay remaps geographies of belonging in Athens. It thinks the city in circles and circulations, writing an anticolonial Athens made out of nonlinear geographies and histories, anti-border struggles, anticolonial pasts and futures, migrations and mobilisations. The essay writes three circular movements: narrating how Athens is part of a Mediterranean feedback loop in which struggles are in constant circulation; thinking a circular square in the middle of the city as a polis not dictated by ideas of ethnos; and following the ways that people make new choreographies of belonging in the dance circle, finding footwork out of step with the restrictive rhythms of the nation. These movements are forms of spatial resistance, and the essay closes by sharing some methods of movement writing. Through these circular movements, the essay seeks to map ways out of the linear geographies and histories of empire, and the ongoing colonialities of citizenship.

循环运动:反殖民主义雅典的移民公民

这篇文章重新描绘了雅典的归属地理。它认为这个城市是一个圆圈和循环，用非线性的地理和历史、反边界斗争、反殖民的过去和未来、移民和动员来书写一个反殖民的雅典。这篇文章写了三个循环运动:叙述雅典如何成为地中海反馈循环的一部分，在这个循环中，斗争不断循环;把城市中心的圆形广场想象成一个不受种族观念支配的城邦;并遵循人们在舞蹈圈中创造新的舞蹈编排的方式，寻找与国家限制性节奏不一致的脚步。这些运动都是空间抵抗的形式，文章最后分享了一些运动写作的方法。通过这些循环运动，本文试图绘制出线性地理和帝国历史的路径，以及公民身份的持续殖民性。

期刊介绍： EPD: Society and Space is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly and political project. Through both a peer reviewed journal and an editor reviewed companion website, we publish articles, essays, interviews, forums, and book reviews that examine social struggles over access to and control of space, place, territory, region, and resources. We seek contributions that investigate and challenge the ways that modes and systems of power, difference and oppression differentially shape lives, and how those modes and systems are resisted, subverted and reworked. We welcome work that is empirically engaged and furthers a range of critical epistemological approaches, that pushes conceptual boundaries and puts theory to work in innovative ways, and that consciously navigates the fraught politics of knowledge production within and beyond the academy.
