Dissimulated landscapes : poscolonial method and the politics of space in southern Sri Lanka
The paper puts forward a broadly postcolonial method for engaging with landscapes in southern Sri Lanka. Landscapes risk dissimulating the politics of places as they are produced and lived contextually. This argument is worked through a critical
engagement of the landscape architecture of a tropical-modernist architect (G. Bawa). The A. shows how some of the familiar concept-metaphors (nature, religion, subjectivity) hold particular kinds of landscape politics that emerge from human relationships

Drawing upon evidence from an inductive analysis of five online initiatives that engage new spatial media in activism and civic engagement, we explore new dimensions of the knowledge politics advanced through new spatial media and the mechanisms
through which they emerge. The significance of these practices is in their role in advancing different epistemological strategies for establishing the legitimacy and authority of knowledge claims. They conclude that these new knowledge politics entail

between politics and the police, subjectivity, ‘in-between spaces’, and ‘insubstantial communities’, and attempts to locate his concept of politics within a wider spectrum of political forms in order to bring out its distinctive nature. It concludes

Focussing on humanitarian engagements with the objects that migrants leave behind across the Mexico–US Sonoran desert, this article explores how the politics of human mobility involves the co-constitution of ‘people’, ‘places’ and ‘things
’ in multiple ways. To do so, it develops a ‘more-than-human’ account of the material discursive un/becomings of subjects–objects–environments as more or less ‘human’. It also assesses the various ways that humanitarian engagements contest processes

This paper presents results from a study of environmental harm created in the collision of real estate speculation and the political process that governed extension of the urban frontier of New Orleans into its eastern wetlands. The paper engages
theoretically the relative inattention of urban political ecology theory to rent as a way to theorize how capital flows through land, and argues for increased attention to the problem of land rent and the multiple scales of politicalengagement that manage

This article examines how Thai–Burma border residents are enrolled and engaged in remaking the political border through their knowledge practices and performances, in connection with other actors including environmental consultants. While it puts
forth the notion that the border represents an important site and process of struggle and negotiation in which marginalized communities invest, it also questions the assumption that because residents are engaged in remaking the border, the border
is necessarily more ‘democratic’. The discussion presented here also speak to broader debates in political geography about how borders are remade through practice and performance.
