The latest issue of Social and Cultural Geography is now published and live online and it contains the theme issue that stems from the 5th Annual Doreen Massey event in which I participated.
My contribution is entitled: Vulgar geographies? Popular cultural geographies and technology.
There is a fantastic and diverse range of papers in the issue and I heartily recommend exploring it. Not least the editorial by Nadia Bartolini, Parvati Raghuram & George Revill. I would like to thank them, again, for inviting me to be part of such a rich conversation.
Of course, all of these provocations follow in the wake of the departure of one of, if not, the most provocative and vital influencers of geographical thought – Doreen Massey, for whom the annual event these papers stem from is named. I am confident that all of the author’s in this theme issue took inspiration from Doreen’s work. fitting then that in the same issue is Rob Kitchin’s excellent obituary.
A few articles from the theme issue that stand out for me are:
Patricia Noxolo’s Provocations beyond one’s own presence: towards cultural geographies of development?
Isla Forsyth’s More-than-human warfare
