Through an analysis of the designs of Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, I observe that such “eco-futurist” images symbolically communicate an association with sustainability through the visible use of “green” technologies and the adoption of highly contextual encounters with greenery, rhetorically prefaced on the ability of techno-science to mediate human–nature relationships, and visually bound within the design tropes of luxury tourist destinations. By intertwining the aspirational futures of sustainable design with the aesthetic sensibilities of the wealthy, I argue that eco-futurism primarily aligns itself with the interests of neoliberal property development and the spatial and social logics of colonialism.</p>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"57 2","pages":"714-733"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anti.13126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143250078","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}

This article makes the case for understanding the urban-regional dimensions of technology capital in terms of a transformation of, rather than as a departure from, Cold War geopolitics. It introduces the concept of a social structure of militarisation to analyse the transition from military-Keynesianism to tech-oriented militarism, developing this concept through a case study of high-tech firms in the Seattle region. Our analysis shows how the class dynamics that underpinned the growth of Seattle's “high-tech” aerospace sector in the postwar period conditioned the subsequent growth of the information and biotechnology sectors. Like other tech cities, Seattle's economy remains a privileged site of technical and managerial labour within the extended US national security state.</p>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"57 2","pages":"599-621"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anti.13122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248958","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}

The new Closed Controlled Access Centre (CCAC) on Samos is a blueprint for the EU's future border practices. While openly dehumanising conditions contributed to the previous “old camp” amounting to a torturing environment, the new remote and securitised CCAC promised safety and humanitarian care. Psycho-geographical counter-mappings by people living in the camps and of human rights defenders allow the reading of the hotspot camps as a built environment and social space. They expose how the violent neglect of the old camp transforms into the surveilled and weaponised space of yet another torturing environment. This time, it operates a necropolitical space of uncare that distributes harm differentially.

Epistemic injustice has historically served to legitimate the dispossession of Indigenous land, but water protectors seek to interrupt this pattern. Through a textual analysis of documents published by the Stop Line 3 movement, I demonstrate that water protectors identify epistemic injustice as a motivating issue in their struggle, and employ direct action as a method to circumvent institutional silencing.

The article examines the assumptions and presuppositions that undergird the post-petroleum imaginaries in Stavanger, Norway's oil capital and self-proclaimed energy capital of Europe, and how these can be conceptualised as imaginaries of preemptive hope. These imaginaries are framed as a promise of a new oil waiting to be realised—thus promising a status quo post-petroleum future that only requires technical adjustments. These new oil imaginaries become forms of repair and maintenance of the petroleumscape because they primarily promise to maintain the wealth, status, and privileges attained from their position in the petroleumscape—a promise that they are unable to realise. The broader implication of the study is that we need to pay more attention to the imaginable post-petroleum futures governing second-tier cities’ and regions’ economic strategies in maintaining the status quo, not just the actions of global oil majors and leading petro-states.</p>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"57 1","pages":"372-391"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anti.13109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143114042","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}
