As far back as I can remember, political discussions with my father were part of everyday life. Allan’s ideas inspired me to look at the world through a different lens. He also taught me how to take action and create change. In the seventh grade, when I told him that only the girls in my school were required to wear a uniform for P.E., Allan wrote a letter to the Berkeley Unified School District citing Title IX. Needless to say, the rule was changed, and uniforms were no longer required. Allan taught me the importance of taking action, whether I’m organizing a feminist art parade or a nationwide billboard exhibition for Abortion Rights. In the years prior to his death, Dad and I had often spoken about creating a collaborative art piece but never had the opportunity. His death necessarily transformed, but did not remove, my urge to collaborate... . and reflect. The result was an installation-based montage portrait of Allan in the form of an exhibition titled ‘Radical Geographer: Portrait of my Father’. The show included some of the books he wrote, along with photos, writings, and mementos from his life. This was my homage to him.","PeriodicalId":47542,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series B-Human Geography","volume":"187 1","pages":"208 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80676528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The essay strikes at the mythos of Europa as the vanguard of humanity, and enumerates many of the ‘dirty tricks’ that project the singular as confirmation of the universal. It aligns with the critique of the present in the manner of Allan Pred’s critical takes on Europe and deconstruction of the mythos of Europe. With Nietzsche’s takes on ‘philosophical laughter’ as a cue, the essay offers playful parodies on the narcissistic discourses of Europe’s historical mission or purpose, its essence/identity, and its place in history. My critique is thus an instance of postcolonial laughter. Critique of historicism and ‘European reason’ are recurrent themes in Pred’s work. Historicism places European humanity as history’s prime (favourite) subject, culminating in the infamous yet pompous ‘end of history’ thesis popularized by Fukuyama, of which Pred was highly critical of. In my reading, Pred’s playful takes on Fukuyama’s folly, are inspired by postcolonial laughter. Postcolonial laughter is deployed here as an affirmative response to the European negation of the other’s being. I use by turn satire and irony, by turn parody and the grotesque to strike at the heart of the mythos of Europe and its ‘dirty tricks’. Postcolonial laughter unsettles the hubris and narcissism underlying discourses of Europe’s mission/moralism as the vanguard of humanity. Postcolonial laughter is attuned to Pred’s ‘restless geographies’.","PeriodicalId":47542,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series B-Human Geography","volume":"92 1","pages":"193 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80379430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Krupar","doi":"10.1080/04353684.2023.2181203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/04353684.2023.2181203","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This paper addresses U.S. pandemic-related propaganda, as a mode of administering society, selves, and the COVID-19 virus relevant to other national contexts. The paper examines what I call pandemic revanchism, which, in order to stoke U.S. culture wars, propag(and)ates the COVID-19 epidemic by sensationalizing the trivial and normalizing the extraordinary or absurd. Banal forms of administrative grotesquerie mobilize a community of alt-health (non)sense and tie freedom to a viral and literally infectious resentment and retaliatory collateral mortality. The paper first develops the framework of FOOB (‘folklore of operational banality’) to scrutinize how ordinary health/medical administration and reactionary power relations alike level sense and non-sense. It then offers a performative analysis that shows human geographies of routinized anti-establishment refusal and conspiratorial organizing related to the pandemic. The FOOB approach refuses to simply admonish pandemic revanchism and, instead, tracks how this form of administration consolidates social terrains and quotidian online activity. The analysis seeks to level criticism in a way that undermines social division. It does so by remaining open to reasonable doubts about biomedicalization that are swept up in alt-health and pandemic-related propaganda, and by foregrounding how policy, affect, and storylines routinize extremisms within the American public terrain.","PeriodicalId":47542,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series B-Human Geography","volume":"3 1","pages":"142 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72694408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Allan Pred’s work on racist geographies of the everyday and taken-for-granted in Sweden, I advance the concepts of B/black spaces and relational places to approach to the study of identity, belonging, and place in Black Europe, with a focus on Italy. Black and African Italians from diverse origins and generations are asserting their belonging in Italy. Pred’s work on every day situated practices, power relations, taken-for-granted knowledge, and silences, is useful to contemporary scholarship in Black geographies, antiracist and decolonial scholarship. Pred’s holistic studies of modernity and the impacts of global political and economic transformations in lived experiences demonstrate the centrality of racism to national societies and cultures. His work is valuable to scholars of modern Western colonial systems of knowledge production and power, advancing insights and encouraging new directions based on abundant, ordinary yet silenced everyday realities and experiences. This paper expands on Pred’s work through an analysis of Blackness, place and belonging in Italy, offering an approach to the study of African Diaspora in Europe.","PeriodicalId":47542,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series B-Human Geography","volume":"8 1","pages":"165 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87285114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
