I am particularly interested in contributing to conversations on how the Global North/South divide can be untangled and challenged through a critical reimagining of the hemispheric scale within the Latin American context. With this in mind, I ask: how does the term ‘Global South’ relate to existing decolonial imaginations that go beyond the nation-state? And, more specifically, how does the ‘Global South’ enframe the world vis-a-vis the geographical imaginaries of Abya Yala and Améfrica Ladina, which have their roots in Indigenous and Black understandings of the Americas and are being used to directly question colonial understandings of this world region? I argue that the hemispheric scale in this context can be reimagined as a place from which continuous interconnections between existing decolonial imaginaries can occur.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46114079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building from the empirical context of Chicago's schools, this paper demonstrates how racism characterizes the dispossession of social reproductive infrastructures and attendant transformations of urban life. In doing so, this article argues that theorizing education as an infrastructure of social reproduction allows for a more robust theorization of the relationship between social reproduction and the built environment as well as the everyday temporality of social reproduction. Theorizing education landscapes in this way facilitates sharper thinking around a contradiction at the heart of social reproduction theory: that social reproductive sites are increasingly key spaces of capital accumulation while simultaneously serving as important terrains to fight that process. This framework allows for close attention to how the frictions between the social reproductive needs of capital and the social reproductive needs of communities play out within urban infrastructures in Chicago.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47564178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the postphenomenological perspectives of Don Ihde and his followers, this commentary reimagines GIScience by emphasizing its ability to shape and be shaped by human experiences and various creative forces across bodies and places. This reorientation decenters GIScience beyond the human body by also encompassing non-human entities such as animals, bots, and algorithms. In the face of a rapidly growing data-intensive society, this commentary underlines the importance of adopting a caring stance when it comes to the use and development of GIS. This perspective of care can enhance our understanding and empathy toward ourselves, the planet, and all other beings. This reorientation of GIScience plays a significant role in shaping future trajectories of GIScience and the discipline of geography, enabling us to effectively tackle the theoretical and practical challenges posed by a rapidly evolving data-intensive society.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48065581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, I build upon Sidaway's invitation to suggest a deeper engagement with the complexity of already existing Islamic geographical traditions and scholarship on Muslim spatialities by pulling out two themes that echo some of those raised in the main article: (1) Islamic traditions of mapping and cartography, and (2) scholarship on Islam and the city. The central aim of my response, however, is to push for different entry points when considering the decolonial possibilities of Muslim geographies rather than an entry point of dismissal from disciplinary geography. Only by decentring the whiteness of the discipline as the starting point, can Islamic traditions of geography be engaged on their own terms, as complex, evolving, contextual, and at times perhaps problematic.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45179996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geography has contributed greatly to current understandings of homelessness and pushed the broader field of homelessness studies to challenge the unequal power relations embedded in our homes, institutions, and cities. This short reflection presents a brief overview of some key insights of geographical research on homelessness and argues that geography's contributions could be strengthened by taking a more global approach to the problem. Building on the concept of ‘worlding’, I argue that the discipline can move beyond its focus on European and North American dynamics, broaden its narrow conception of homelessness to include analysis of informality and housing precarity, and engage a more diverse repertoire of theoretical frameworks for understanding the problem.","PeriodicalId":47300,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues in Human Geography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47717984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many salient questions are asked, and points raised in the commentaries. Narayanan Palat invokes the once again controversial notion of ‘the field’ as a medium in which researchers both are surrounded by particular conundrums and surround the everyday practices of those with whom a certain distance is constituted through a practice called ‘research’. What is the surrounds here, they ask, and what are the ethics and politics of a ‘figure’ that both belongs and is detached from a situation, or where neither belonging or detachment is an adequate term for the positionality entailed. Who surrounds who, and where this is not a question that can be attributed to a specific designation or geography? While Lalitha Kamath views the surrounds as an atmospheric condition for a subaltern politics – something to which I might only partially subscribe, they nevertheless, point out the almost intractable dilemmas entailed in apprehending the resourcefulness of the working poor who continue to reinvent the conditions of endurance – but barely. And certainly not in terms that are just or sufficient. Kamath is attentive to the multiple archives of itineraries evident in the working poor peripheries of Mumbai, itineraries that reflect a constant sense of movement; that things don’t stand still; that one is fully captured by a specific position, even as possibilities are intensely gendered and subject to sweeping ‘counterinsurgencies’ by various forms of state power. Here the questions about the extent to which autonomy can be materialized by being left to one’s own devices and the concessions to be made by being ‘taken care of’ through the reciprocal responsibilities of state and citizen are not easily reconciled, and must ‘taken on’ as a matter of a constant re-arrangement of their mutual relations as surrounds. Additionally it is important to emphasize the conceivable ways in which researchers are both imbricated and co-producers of surrounds, the south, and the metropolis, and how these are in an always oscillating relationship with each other. And as they are repeated in some kind of integral relationship – meaning that that the south might surround the metropolis, as the metropolis surrounds the south – as well as researchers being surrounded by often impossible positions from which they nevertheless try to do something – that the surrounds becomes the term for shifting relations of encompassment and detachment, of reciprocity and rupture. This is not just a matter of the perspective of researchers but a structural condition. A structuring that always entails a multiplicity of conceivable conjunctions, of what might be. Even if metropolis and south are limiting terms, their very repetition points to the possibilities of something else besides what we know and assume, that might have been present all along.
