A sonic geography of voice. Towards an affective politics

A sonic geography of voice. Towards an affective politics
The paper seeks to extend disciplinary investigation by calling for a geography of voice and a politics of speaking and of listening. It explores the different characteristics of voices, their affective and ethico-political forces, and how they make
public spaces. Through its polyphonic method of text, audio illustrations and recorded interviews with participants in radical political organization, the experience of the paper itself is a political gesture, one that invites the listener-reader

Progress in global climate change politics ? Reasserting national state territoriality in a 'post-political' world

Progress in global climate change politics ? Reasserting national state territoriality in a 'post-political' world
Climatic change ; Global change ; Globalization ; Nation-state ; Policy ; Post-political consensus ; Territoriality
This paper builds on previous geographical and social science work at the boundaries of climate change by(re)asserting the significance of the territoriality of the national state in global climate negotiations. Using post-political consensus
as a theoretical framework and drawing upon examples from climate change negotiations like Kyoto and Copenhagen, it argues that it is too premature to fetishize the consensus of, and collectivism between national states in global climate politics. As geographers
, ‘territoriality’, both as a material and discursive device, is fundamental in, and constitutive of, how we interpret and understand climate change and the politics thereof.

‘The Root Is Maya, the Practice Is Pluralist’: Xel-jú and Indigenous Political Mobilisation in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala

hégémonique du pouvoir politique.#Since the 1990s Latin America has witnessed the emergence of ethnic, often social movement-based, political parties. Within this context Rigoberto Quemé Chay became the first indigenous mayor of Quetzaltenango, the second
-largest city of Guatemala, a place that until then had been marked by indigenous political exclusion and racism. This article seeks to explain why Quemé was victorious in 1995 and also why he subsequently lost the election in 2004 through an analysis
of the ideational struggle within the (indigenous) political organisation, Xel-jú, which backed Quemé's candidacy twice. I use the movements of ‘departure’, ‘manoeuvre’ and ‘arrival’ in the process of the constitution of hegemonic visions of power to analyse Xel
-jú's rise to political power.

Network political ecology. Method and theory in climate change vulnerability and adaptation research

Network political ecology. Method and theory in climate change vulnerability and adaptation research
Adaptation ; Climatic change ; Farm ; India ; Irrigation ; Network ; Political ecology ; Rajasthan ; Scale ; Underground water ; Vulnerability
The paper argues for the development of network political ecology, drawing on the insights from regional political ecology and recent advancements in network theories of scale, to meet the challenges of investigating the meso-scale problem
of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. Network political ecology, attentive to scale as socio-ecologically produced and grounded in a regional resource use system, is one such approach that fills this gap in middle-range theory necessary to understand

The politics of defining and alleviating poverty : state strategies and their impacts in rural Kerala

The politics of defining and alleviating poverty : state strategies and their impacts in rural Kerala
Ideas of participatory classification, economic self-reliance and political empowerment are laudable national policy goals, and Kerala has shown innovation in its adaptation of these within the State's devolved structures of local governance. Ideas
of individual transitions out of poverty are reproduced, which indicate that the state pays insufficient attention to the highly unequal social and economic relationships reproducing poverty, and to poverty's political nature.

Representing the imagined city : place and the politics of difference during Guangzhou's 2010 language conflict

Representing the imagined city : place and the politics of difference during Guangzhou's 2010 language conflict
Based on a social and political campaign against state-led hegemonic language standardisation, the 2010 language conflict in Guangzhou was a socially and culturally constructed process in which the local's imagination and representation of place
and identity were reproduced within a local geometry of social relations involving the state language policy, the local community and the city's migrant population. The paper acknowledges that some place-bounded politics may demonstrate a counter-hegemonic
