Whereas much comment on Englishness since the Brexit referendum of 2016 has characterised it as an inward-looking, parochial and even inherently racist, our analysis shows how it has been constructed as highly connected with other parts of the world, notably through how Magna Carta has been incorporated into national and supra-national narratives beyond England. Our analysis discloses how Runnymede's memorials, forms that exemplify the increasingly diverse forms of material commemoration that are proliferating and decentring traditional designs, express shifting, competing meanings of England and divergent links to other people and places: the Empire and Commonwealth, the so-called English-speaking peoples and the Anglosphere, and multicultural Britain's connections with the wider world. Besides these symbolic encodings, through autoethnographic and cultural analysis, we investigate the affective and sensory impact of each memorial in an already symbolically and affectively charged landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 103410"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145106521","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 from research undertaken in and on the neighborhood of Caju since May 2022 as part of a collective research and documentary film project, we revisit the structuring of 19th-century sanitary governance in Rio de Janeiro by focusing on three key infrastructures built by the state in the 19th century: a cemetery, a landfill, and a hospital for the treatment of epidemic diseases. Our research methods include ethnographic fieldwork, photography and filmmaking, in-depth interviews with residents and social actors such as government officials, street level bureaucrats, activists and local political leaders, and iconographic archival research in public city archives and in residents' private collections. We propose the idea of <em>residual urbanism</em> as a perspective to explore the logics of agglomeration and the generative dimension of infrastructures produced through the everyday governance of death, waste and disease. Finally, we examine the entanglements of nature, labor, knowledge and politics that highlight the invisible centrality of materialities, relations, agents and processes at the margins of modern master narratives of urbanization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 103406"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144888762","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}

The dual impact of ‘<em>green colonialism</em>’ and climate change is creating a compounded burden on marginalised and Indigenous communities, highlighting the urgent need to address its effects on their livelihoods and to advocate for their active participation in climate adaptation efforts. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork (2022–2024), qualitative geo-spatial analysis (2018–2024), and reflexive epistemologies through first-person narratives rooted in personal lived and work experiences, this study establishes a theoretical foundation to address two critical questions: how does NbS influence ‘<em>green colonialism</em>’ in the Indian Sundarbans, and how might Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) contribute to NbS for mangrove regeneration and climate adaptation? Findings indicate that Indigenous communities face substantial obstacles in asserting their environmental rights, often affected by externally imposed NbS conservation practices. Furthermore, integrating LINKS can enhance community-led NbS, embodying an “<em>alternative environmentalism</em>” that challenges dominant green development paradigms. This article contributes to the global climate adaptation debate by illustrating how ‘<em>green colonialism</em>’ exposes the intersection of capital expansion and environmentalism, and the marginalisation of LINKS within this framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 103405"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144878212","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}
