Perspectives and principles of critical agrarian studies, the Plantationocene, and environment-society geography are used to offer a novel approach to the global greenhouse boom. Case studies of leading greenhouse countries (Spain, China, Morocco, Mexico) illustrate distinctive dynamics that have developed during recent decades. The perspectives and case studies are used to suggest insights and themes for future research. These center on the volumetric enclosures of the greenhouse boom, sociotechnical assemblages linked to long-distance market chains through transportation networks and new infrastructure, agrarian transformations of rural depopulation and national-international labor migration, spatial clustering fueled by land and water rushes that concentrate on the periurban territory of extended urbanization, and the marginalized food systems and precarity of greenhouse workers. Insights from the global greenhouse boom suggest the disruption of prevailing ideas of the geographic trajectories of global land-use intensification.

Interpreting the influence of context on agency reflects the spatial ontology of economic geography. However, culture, as one dimension of context, is still profoundly limitedly understood within economic geography. For instance, it is often constrained to tangible cultural heritage or formal institutions. Moreover, individual-level agency has remained understudied, especially how individuals develop their capacity to act, since it is challenging to distinguish individual and their position within in/formal organizations. Here, we suggest addressing these limitations by integrating Bourdieu's notion of habitus, which contributes to transcending the dichotomies between materials and culture and between structuralism and individualism. Hence, the primary objectives of this paper are as follows: (1) to undertake a comprehensive review of habitus from broader social sciences, in particular to explain the mediated dualism of habitus; (2) to respond to the criticism that habitus is a static concept, and to explain the potential to investigate change; (3) to explicate how agency interacts with habitus. Finally, we recommend economic geographers to integrate fragmented habitus with agency to study social structural change, thereby enriching the discipline's comprehension of context.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769975","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}

Research on economic effects analyzes disruptions to global value chains, industries, labor systems, and workspaces, particularly remote work. Some studies explore how the pandemic coincided with ongoing economic transitions such as economic restructuring and shrinkage, austerity politics, digitization, and automation. Studies highlight the need to contextualize spatial inequalities within historical political-economic interdependencies, power asymmetries, and structural disparities. In doing so, geographical studies add depth to syndemic analyses of structural vulnerabilities and crisis cascades, highlighting the need for spatially sensitive assessments.

The review reveals that PGIS excels in integrating spatial technologies for community-driven data visualization and planning, while Citizen Science fosters broad community involvement and data collection. Both approaches enhance stakeholder empowerment and inclusivity but face challenges such as technological accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and sustaining long-term engagement.

This secondary group of geophysical changes has the potential to act as a relatively new complex of forces likely to increase or accelerate rates of change in different pathways. These pathways include: (1) changes in ocean mass since 2000 driven by climate-driven ice-melt water; (2) Changes in tectonic plate seismicity affected by changes in water type and availability; (3) Earth spin perturbation and polar drift due to polar/glacier ice disappearance and increases in global water mass and displacement; (4) the effects of changed planetary spin on the “crustal deformation rate and mass redistribution on the plate tectonic scale.” Causative uncertainties in such scientific analyses concerning the extent of correlation with the role of climate change continues; in the meantime, however, socio-technical research platforms examining possible climate eschata outline the importance of waste and over-production from complex consumer systems. Over-production and waste allow the suggestion of a carbon trilemma underpinning the eschatological pathways and suggest the need for eschatological geographies examining the need to understand the social dynamics of mass consumption, geophysical changes driven by that mass consumption and the avoidance of accelerated climate catastrophe. In Geography, the sociotechnical and physical roots of global warming demand a fundamental re-examination of the ‘divide’ between human and physical geography. There are few geographical topics which require a more urgent combination of human/physical analysis than the potential lethality of climate change and the connection between over-production and planetary changes through the conduit of mass waste. Eschatological geographies could potentially lead to more optimistic futures through the abandonment of waste/emission/polluting systems, but they can also indicate where global mass consumption will self-terminate as a system.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143513700","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}

Sound art has long been concerned with issues of spatiality, place and environment and yet interest in sound art from human geographers has been somewhat sparse, particularly when compared to the wealth of literature on visual art in the discipline. In this context, the paper does three things. First, it reviews debates in sound art theory to highlight how sound art is often discussed as performing critical interventions in perceptions of space. Second, it examines how such interventions have been engaged by human geographers in the limited body of literature currently existing on sound art in the discipline, which suggests that sound art can reveal some of the unheard histories, experiences and voices of spaces. Finally, it suggests that geographic engagements with sound art might productively explore the contention, legible in recent work in sound studies and philosophy, that sound art can create spaces of affect in which an audience is exposed to the limits of prevailing schemas of audibility. Rather than producing a better or more accurate representation of space, the paper argues that sound art instead can provoke affective encounters with alternative temporalities, silences and non-human life.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471979","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}

I review leisure, spatial studies and geographies literature on urban public space and urban experience and present how such space can relate to migrant integration as a socialising stage or entertaining hub, as well as the potential of adopting the human-environment nexus embodied in urban experience to understand social (non-)inclusion and migrant integration.

Yet, there is limited knowledge of how urbanisation in the Global South has been modelled. In this study, we examine how urbanisation has been modelled in cities in the Global South, highlighting progress made and identifying key emerging issues for future research. Based on a review of 149 articles, we find an increasing preference for hybrid models that combine simple modelling approaches with more complex deep learning approaches. However, the advantages of hybrid approaches over stand-alone models in terms of prediction power has not been strongly established in the literature. We also find that most of the applications do not directly account for the social processes that generate the urban expansion patterns we observe in the region. As a result, the validation of most models has been limited to the ‘where’ (locations) and ‘when’ (time) and not the ‘who’ (socio-economic characteristics of occupants of location at a given point in time). The application of the models is highly localised as most studies do not model more than one city.

Our analyses clearly highlight the highly selective nature of the geopolitics of urban knowledge production. And yet, this selectivity is not only based on, and related to, the North-South divide, but also develops between cities and universities, defining an unequal and multiscalar geography of who and from where one can speak and be heard. Moreover, the geography of the places studied contradicts any claims of post/decolonising urban theory, of ‘urban theorising from anywhere’, of Southern, subaltern, alternative urban perspectives, and so on.
