Focusing on Khirbet Drūsye (Horvat Midras), we integrate archaeological evidence with Ottoman fiscal surveys and Sharia court registers to trace the site's transition from a prosperous Mamluk-era village to a seasonal habitation (<em>ʿizbeh</em>) by the 1550s. This spatial reconfiguration illustrates how rural communities modified their settlement patterns and economic strategies in response to the declining security environment during the Early Ottoman period. The study of Drūsye, alongside other cases in the southern Bilād al-Shām/Levant, highlights not only the diverse ways that settlement systems evolved in response to political and economic pressures but also reveals sophisticated settlement patterns that challenge our understanding of 'permanent' versus 'transient' occupation. More broadly, the case demonstrates the methodological value of combining archaeological and documentary sources to reconstruct historical geographies and understand local responses to imperial transition. Beyond its regional focus, the case of Drūsye demonstrates a more general lesson: rural communities under imperial regimes often developed flexible, hybrid strategies of land use that challenge simple distinctions between permanence and abandonment. Such adaptive patterns have relevance for comparative studies of frontier zones, resilience, and the archaeology of ‘decline’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 87-98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also presented their typology, considering the morphogenetic-functional, morphological, historical, toponymy (naming) and degree of realisation criteria. The results show that the first ‘garden cities’ occurred as early as the 1910s. They failed to meet many of Howard's original concept's spatial and functional assumptions. For example, in the morphological aspect, the identified concentric-radial type was realised in practice in less than 15 % of the surveyed units. We identified four pathways for the formation of garden cities and garden suburbs in Poland: the first related to the emergence of garden cities, the second related to the emergence of summer resorts and spas, the third related to the development of patronage settlements, and the fourth related to villa districts and garden suburbs emerging in the cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 64-77"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treating it as real or fictitious capital/commodity can lead to a neglect of land's theoretical and economic significance, while treating it as distinct from capital/commodity can disproportionately limit focus to cases where land resists financialization/commodification. How, then, can we make sense of land's material placeness alongside the structural requirement to circulate it for accumulation in capitalism? This article argues that a productive way to wrestle with the challenge posed by land in capitalism is to use the analytic of ‘land mobilization.’ This can not only help us account for the difficulty and incompleteness of land's transformation into an asset, but it can also help to include factors such as differences in levels of financialization and strategic reasons for holding real-property that are often left out of scholarly analyses in the making of real estate markets and the historical geographies of capitalism. To demonstrate the fecundity of this approach, this article examines and compares how business and landed elites in late colonial and early postcolonial Calcutta and Bombay understood the real property market, acted on it, and its consequences. Through this comparison, this article suggests that localized struggles to (im)mobilize land have been central in the making of capitalism's historical geographies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 78-86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental Turanism emerged in the wake of the Treaty of Trianon (1920), which left deep social and political scars, and offered an alternative vision rooted in Eurasian cultural affinities and the steppe ecologies of the Pannonian Basin. It challenged the prevailing paradigm of large-scale landscape engineering—such as river regulation and land reclamation—which, despite their promise of development, often resulted in ecological degradation, including soil desiccation and vulnerability to drought. By blending romantic nationalism, traditional ecological knowledge, and holistic landscape science, Environmental Turanism articulated a symbiotic framework that resisted the dualism of humans versus nature dominant in Western discourse. Yet Environmental Turanism never established a firm institutional foothold in Hungary. After World War II, the onset of the Cold War socialist ideology in the Eastern Bloc left little room for alternative ecological frameworks, especially when linked to radical right-wing ideologies. The story of Environmental Turanism contributes to the better understanding of how political, social, and economic crises may contribute to the rise of environmental counter-narratives, which is a pressing issue in several contemporary societies globally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 49-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145096892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through her pedagogical project in the Mississippi Delta, Walker empowered rural Black women to produce autobiographies that challenged colonial archival practices and Jim Crow educational inequalities. These life narratives—grounded in oral history, intergenerational memory, and spatial experience—offered a counter-archive to dominant historical geographies, documenting Black women's lives not only as personal testimony but as situated spatial knowledge. Framing the autobiography as a method of Black feminist geography, the paper argues that Walker's workshop constituted a radical archival intervention: it preserved and elevated the everyday geographies of Black resistance, labor, displacement, and care. By reading these autobiographies as spatial histories, the article shows how Black women narrated place from the vantage of cotton fields, floodplains, kitchens, and church pews—producing insurgent mappings of the Delta and reimagining the archive as a terrain of Black survival and self-fashioning. Ultimately, the paper contributes to historical geography by theorizing ‘Black historical geographies’ as a reparative, place-based methodology rooted in care and refusal. Walker's classroom archive offers a critical model for scholars seeking to center Black women's voices and build alternative geographies of memory, pedagogy, and resistance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 40-48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145096891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
