{"title":"Progressive and critical legal geography scholarship","authors":"Josephine Gillespie,&nbsp;Tayanah O'Donnell","doi":"10.1111/1745-5871.12595","DOIUrl":"10.1111/1745-5871.12595","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In 1992, geographer Nicholas Blomley and lawyer Joel Bakan penned a piece entitled &lt;i&gt;Spacing out: Towards a critical geography of law&lt;/i&gt; in which they successfully argued for a new scholarship to interrogate the links between these ostensibly disparate disciplines (Blomley &amp; Bakan, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;). Blomley and Bakan’s paper may have set out the constitution of a contemporary &lt;i&gt;legal geography&lt;/i&gt; scholarship and arguably marks an inflection point in an intellectual effort that began—tremulously—in the 1980s (Clark, &lt;span&gt;1985&lt;/span&gt;). Described variously as an approach or subdiscipline, it has evolved significantly and, 30 years later, research is flourishing across the globe. This claim is supported by growing numbers of publications under the rubric in leading international geographical journals and by a dramatic increase in the number of publications using the term legal geography, particularly since 2007. Australia is at the forefront of these developments. From the outset, scholars within the Institute of Australian Geographers Legal Geography Study Group, initially conceived in the 2000s, have led the field (Bartel et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Under strong and sustained leadership from Bartel, Robinson, Graham, Carter, ourselves, and others, this scholarship is widely regarded as being globally significant (Clark, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Techera, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). At the 2021 Institute of Australian Geographers Annual Conference hosted by the University of Sydney, several legal geography sessions touched upon and referred to this blossoming research endeavour. The special section for which this paper is the editorial reflects the contributions made by Australian researchers to the continued development of legal geography scholarship. In it are works by experienced and emergent scholars presenting new research from across different areas of legal geography that showcases these developments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Figure 1 traces a 30-year trajectory from 1973 to 2022 of legal geography publications from a Web of Science database search using the search term “legal geography”. From the early 1990s, legal geography emerged with initially tentative steps. There is a clear upward trajectory from the mid-2000s in the use of that label and a dramatic increase in the number of publications so described since then. From 2007, there has been a consistent increase in the number of publications and thereafter the average number of publications per year is 96, compared with an average of eight from 1973 to 2006. The years from 2019 to 2021 are particularly propitious for legal geography scholarship despite, or perhaps because of, the global pandemic, with an annual average of 174 publications. Clearly, legal geography research is growing rapidly and consistently.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Increasingly, scholars are turning to legal geography to shed light on some of the globe’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.

Is it possible and credible to investigate species richness based on such checklists? Studies on macrofauna in the Far Eastern seas, eastern Arctic seas, and adjacent waters of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans suggest that in different habitats and for diverse taxa, species, and higher taxa richness strongly correlate with each other and increase with an expansion in the study area and sample size according to the species–area law. Such an increase is higher in the bottom zone than in the pelagic. Species and higher taxa richness also show a decrease from lower to higher latitudes, which is in line with the Humboldt–Wallace’s law. According to Willis’ law and self-similarity in the organisation of taxonomic levels, species richness can be assessed based on the genus, family, and order richness. In other words, supraspecies richness itself can tell us the same as species richness and therefore certain global patterns revealed at the species level may also be revealed at the supraspecies level. Such a concordance in general trends among richness parameters at different taxonomic levels in practice implies that species richness can be studied based on lists that lack species identifications or lists with doubtful species identification. We suggest bolder use of supraspecies richness in science and practice, discussing the disadvantages and advantages of this approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"61 4","pages":"503-511"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47421628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communicating climate change with comics: Life beyond apocalyptic imaginaries","authors":"Gemma Sou","doi":"10.1111/1745-5871.12592","DOIUrl":"10.1111/1745-5871.12592","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Drawing on my experience with creative research translation, in this work I discuss how comics provide several possibilities to communicate climate change using geographical analysis and anti-essentialist representations. Comics can be deployed as a multi-modal method that encourages researchers to use thick description to communicate embodied, intangible, and hidden experiences of life with climate change that are difficult to capture in other ways. Comics are also a powerful way for authors to visualise how life with climate change is multi-temporal and to capture diverse images of still-possible and alternative climate futures that move beyond apocalyptic imaginaries to inform debates about the geographies of hope as they relate to climate change. Finally, comics can enhance the participatory nature of research and facilitate a move to more ‘desire-based’ research frameworks that emphasise character-driven and anti-essentialist narratives. The work reported here should be of broad interest among geographers engaging in geohumanities and climate change researchers experimenting with creative methods to narrativise and communicate human experiences of climate change. My intentions are to move beyond disciplinary boundaries; speak to scholars working in the interdisciplinary fields of climate change, comics studies, climate change communication, and visual studies; and invite more engagement with this mode of creative research translation.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"61 3","pages":"320-332"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.12592","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46916807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet little progress is being made to imagine the new economy-environment relations around which resources, actors, and ethics might be configured to enact the novel economic forms needed. This article uses a Social Studies of Economisation and Marketisation (SSEM) approach to examine a suite of differently scaled and structured environmentally focused economic development initiatives in New Zealand. We explore how the initiatives have assembled diverse actors and investment projects into experimental economy-environment relations. Our account highlights experimentation as a pivotal mode of economisation, and we argue that the initiatives studied by us expose a new experimentation-led agenda for transitioning to more environmentally and economically just futures. Working with the idea of experimentation in an SSEM framework, we also argue that the diverse initiatives are creating an experimentation infrastructure that provides a more generative platform for novel economy-environment relations than top–down models of change such as transition pathways. The article opens up a critical politics of environmental economy that focuses attention on emergence, agency, and practice and allows us to reimagine processes of transitioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"61 3","pages":"362-376"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.12590","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46543710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyse private rental housing as a tenure share to demonstrate its spatial correlation with the suburbanisation of socio-economic disadvantage in Sydney, Australia, between 1991 and 2016. Then, we show how investors drive this emerging pattern by reference to the geography of property owners’ stated investment objectives—low capital outlay, rental yields, and capital growth prospects. We contend that the link between their small-scale activities and the city’s changing socio-spatial structure is an overlooked consequence of private rental sector (PRS) housing financialisation. Importantly, our focus on behaviours exhibited by small-scale rental property owners in PRS financialisation transcends existing analyses that have concentrated on corporate entity activity in this space. That focus also contrasts with framings of private rental growth as a residual outcome of developments elsewhere in the housing market.

Held online, the short event enabled us to launch an editorial pick of 10 years’ of work on geography published between Volumes 51 and 60, and those are now available online here. It was a lovely occasion and provided an opportunity to show what is a newly refreshed look for the journal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then many of us went through that mad period of days or weeks before what is often a collective break at the year’s end so that we could ‘down tools’ for a period of time. A necessity? Absolutely, but also something not to be taken for granted given how many people throughout the world work with little rest and limited labour protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always take more time than I’d like to wind down, and it interests me that many of the strategies I use to do so are &lt;i&gt;spatial&lt;/i&gt; in character—at least they seem so to me, but then I feel as though I am permanently enmeshed in a geographically inflected ontology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, for example, I make certain that every last ‘species’ of work that might have crept out of the home office into the rest of the house is rounded up and gently enclosed back in that office, and the door is then shut for the duration. I turn off all notifications and ‘park’ them in cyber space after setting up out-of-office messages that I hope give comfort to those who are still submitting work to the journal in the team’s short absence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then …&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then I garden with an enthusiasm and focus that is soothing—therapeutic even—and that provides immediate gratification and connection to the elements and the more-than-human. I read light-hearted works with a mix of voraciousness and languor and then, when the temptation to nap becomes too compelling, I ‘map’ the inside of my eyelids. I reintroduce myself to forms of food preparation and cooking that engender ease and slow pace. And I mooch with friends over coffee or I simply sit in the garden and work to embody the verb &lt;i&gt;be&lt;/i&gt; rather than &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rest is not, I think, a way of being that many of us are especially adept at, and I would certainly place myself in those ranks. I struggle to stop and am always and inevitably deeply grateful that I have. Rest enables recreation of the sorts I describe above and, equally and perhaps as or more importantly, gives space for recreation … processes to nourish, revitalise, rethink, gauge anew, and consciously or unconsciously ponder with a view to bring fresh perspectives and energy to life’s works when the rest is done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Often, of course, there is a sense that the down-time was never quite enough … but my break is now over, and a new year has beckoned and with it a new volume of four issues of this journal and a new set of webinars, conference offerings, and social media communications.

This consolidation has been achieved through a range of strategies and practices from the involvement of government agencies and island development legislation and plans to the establishment of academic associations, dedicated scholarly journals, large-scale publishing projects in diverse locations and languages, conferences, interdisciplinary forums, postgraduate programmes of study, and collaborative research (including special journal sections, as here). A key objective of this (ongoing) project has been to reframe research methodologies that deal with and work for islands and archipelagos. For research findings to be meaningful to islands and islanders themselves, there is a heartfelt need to enact profound shifts in the premises and practices by which islands and islanders have been framed as convenient, even coy, objects of study (Baldacchino, &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;). Most fundamentally, there has been a perceived need for the relationship between among researchers, islands, and islanders to be reconceived and repurposed in terms of Indigeneity, decoloniality, scale, ethics, relationality, and standpoint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conception of islands as readymade laboratories and amenable case study material has been axiomatic across the disciplines, as with Charles Darwin and the Galápagos Islands and Margaret Mead on Samoa (Baldacchino, &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;). In 1965, Surtsey island off Iceland was declared a nature reserve for scientists while it was still in the process of being formed by volcanic action: a perfect, pristine research laboratory. In a related way, islands have also operated in the imagination as the primordial or pure homeplace, even for non-islanders. Moreover, history has shown how easily the imaginary island-homeplace fuelled and then consolidated European colonisation via the control of the sea lanes (for example, Benton, &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;). Islands are also imagined as perfect mirrors for the human psyche—hence the warning “No Man is an Island” (Beer, &lt;span&gt;1990&lt;/span&gt;; Deleuze, &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;; McMahon, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; Smith &amp; Smith, &lt;span&gt;2003&lt;/span&gt;; Tuan, &lt;span&gt;1977&lt;/span&gt;). The &lt;i&gt;topos&lt;/i&gt; of the island has been mapped as the &lt;i&gt;topos&lt;/i&gt; of the self, of (self) possession, and the possession of knowledge. It is the topography that most profoundly connects being and space and their inter-relationship. In all these ways, it is the clearly self-enisled topography of the island that brings researchers across many fields to the disciplinary ontologies of geography. Islands hold us captive, but they are also captivating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This “island turn” has focused attention on the manifold shortcomings of much research &lt;i&gt;on&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;about&lt;/i&gt; (but not &lt;i&gt;for&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;with&lt;/i&gt;) islands, including ongoing practices of o","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"93-95"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.12586","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50144184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
