This paper explores the geography of hydrogen in Latin America, where projects cluster along coastal corridors and reproduce long-standing patterns of uneven development. Based on a review of recent academic literature and policy documents, we analyze how fragmented governance, competing claims on water and land, and limited local participation interact with this emerging geography. Hydrogen transitions involve much more than technological shifts. As hydrogen development evolves in Latin America, it produces the socio-spatial reconfiguration of territories, resource use, and environment-society relations. We propose potential pathways, including participatory governance, redistributive infrastructure, and recognitional planning, to embed energy justice and inclusion in the emerging geographies of hydrogen. The Latin American case shows how emerging hydrogen geographies are shaped by the interaction between global decarbonization agendas and histories of extraction, inequality, and environmental change.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149145834","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 term refers to a wide range of extensive grazing systems characterized by the seasonal movement of herds and flocks between different altitudes, within diverse governance systems.

In this context, a clear and incisive geographical reading of transhumance remains marginal. This paper addresses this gap by reviewing the rich yet fragmented debates on transhumance across ecology, heritage and political economy, while proposing an understanding of this practice through the lens of “planetary rural geographies”. More specifically, we use transhumance as a prism through which to examine the relational and transcalar logics shaping the material and symbolic production of rurality and mountainness.

Intersectionality provides an important lens to understand how pre-COVID inequalities and injustices intersected with the COVID crisis. By mobilizing syndemics theory we highlight the interlocking of multiple burdens of disease and unjust social conditions turning the pandemic into a syndemic, where deprived populations experienced a much higher burden of disease and negative side-effects from public health restrictions. Findings on the changing role of public space, borders, and mobility and immobility are discussed. This is followed by an analysis of research that has focused on migrants, refugees, gendered work and violence, women, youth and young people.

This article reviews these developments while highlighting a persistent gap: the limited attention paid to the material agency of architecture. By revisiting debates on the ‘politics and poetics’ of religious space, the paper argues that architecture is often reduced to a symbolic representation of power or a passive container of practice. To address this, the article proposes an original framework that synthesises three established dimensions—Infrasecularity, Iconicity (and Iconic Aspiration), and Infrastructuring—to re-materialise the study of religious buildings. Drawing on these extant concepts, the framework provides new tools to analyse how architecture actively participates in visibility and spatial negotiation. Applying this model to Sikh <i>gurdwaras</i> in Singapore and Italy, the article demonstrates how buildings act as catalysts in the material production of religious space and the assertion of a community's right to the city.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70094","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148942100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than treating these cases as a unified model of Japanese settler colonial practice, it suggests a potential paradigm, characterized by state-led colonial expansion and land appropriation, non-displacement exclusion of natives, and the reorganization of pre-existing social relations into new settler colonial orders. This formulation highlights the specificity of Japanese settler colonialism in Asia in relation to dominant Western models, while also showing how its practices varied across the cities of Sapporo, Seoul, and Anshan under different political-economic and ideological conditions. Drawing on the broader global transition in settler colonial forms from the 19th to the twentieth century, this study also reveals a historical transformation within Japanese settler colonialism, from the Hokkaidō model characterized by a settler majority, to the later colonial formations of Korea and Manchuria, where Japanese settlers remained privileged minorities ruling over much larger local populations. Meanwhile, this article underscores the significance of Indigenous agency in settler colonies by showing how Indigenous peoples contested, negotiated, and compromised within urban space. It is hoped that this paper will serve as a foundation for future geographers to apply a settler colonial perspective in more extensive studies of Japanese colonialism in Asia.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943686","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}

Whether marching through a city, walking to make claims upon territory, or communicating across struggles, the spatial politics of solidarity is often shaped through its mobility. In this review article, we consider this spatial politics of mobile solidarity. We bring into conversation scholarship on solidarity that is mobile in nature and scholarship on mobility politics, to argue for a renewed engagement with mobile political formations. We make these arguments by drawing together literature on mobility politics and solidarity to frame such mobile spatial politics. At the same time, our commentary draws upon our own experiences as researchers and participants within mobile demonstrations. In drawing attention to these interests, our argument here is that attending closely to the mobile and solidarity aspects of mobile solidarity can unearth three new understandings of spatial politics. First, the relationships fostered through participation in marches and being together in space. Second, the alterity of reimagining public space that marching enables.

Work in critical human geography, economic sociology, and science and technology studies shows that “the economy” is not a pre-given domain but an effect of material, institutional, and representational practices that render some relations legible as economic while marginalizing others. Interventions such as the diverse economies framework have been central to this rethinking, particularly through the widely circulated “iceberg,” which foregrounds forms of labor, exchange, and interdependence marginalized in capitalocentric accounts. This paper uses the iceberg as a focal representational device through which to synthesize debates about economic representation and valuation. Building on diverse and community economies scholarship that has developed heterogeneous practices of inventory, measurement, recognition, and intervention, the paper develops surfacing as a comparative vocabulary for examining how actors, devices, and socio-technical arrangements make economic relations apprehensible, valued, and consequential for particular audiences and institutional settings. Surfacing distinguishes recurring configurations of commensuration and incorporation, recognition without commensuration, and residualization and overflow without treating them as sequential stages or fixed outcomes. Reinterpreting the iceberg through this lens shows how economic boundaries and forms of value are produced, contested, and reorganized through differing relations among representation, valuation, recognition, and institutional uptake. The paper thereby offers a framework for comparing how economic plurality becomes consequential in different ways and settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"20 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148823339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the spatiality of data movement remain under-theorised. This article argues that data mobility should be understood not simply as movement across space, but as a process of spatialisation. Drawing on mobilities research and theories of sociospatial relations, it shows how data mobility is organised through interrelated configurations of territory, place, scale, and networks, and how governance actively shapes these configurations through legal, infrastructural, and operational arrangements. In turn, these processes contribute to structured spatial orderings and uneven geographies.

Yet, geographic research has rarely explored organised sport spaces in relation to health, instead focusing on the capacity of individualised exercise and fitness practices to promote or inhibit health. This paper considers how an integrated critical geography of health and sport could take inspiration from their respective sub-disciplines to explore how the organisation of sporting spaces influences and constructs experiences of health and wellbeing. In light of persisting structural inequities in health and sport, we propose a Lefebvrean Gendered Environmental Approach to understand the spatial production of inequitable sport environments and opportunities for participation, performance, and health.
