America’s post-apocalyptic maps reveal eerily familiar fault lines As these maps show, post-apocalyptic fiction is a particularly fertile genre, and a particularly American one.

The book cover of 'An Anthropology of Crosslocations' by Sarah Green, Samuli Lähteenmäki, Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, Carl Rommel, Joseph J. Viscomi, Laia Soto Bermant, and Patricia Scalco. Next to the cover image is an endorsement from Matei Candea, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. The endorsement reads: “This fascinating and multistranded book opens up anew the question of how ‘somewheres’ come to be. Moving back and forth across the Mediterranean, tracing disconnections as much as connections, the authors carefully and vividly triangulate the rich complexity of spatial coexistence and the shifting struggles between overlapping ways of locating particular places.”

'An Anthropology of Crosslocations' (2024) brings together seven anthropologists. In this #multigraph, Sarah Green and her co-authors introduce a radical new approach to understanding #location.

Book cover of 'Fences and Biosecurity' and a text that reads: "'Fences and Biosecurity' reveals how the interplay between biosecurity discourses and fencing practices – both literal and symbolic – shapes present and future realities for humans and non-humans alike, triggering larger debates about risk politics."

'Fences and Biosecurity' investigates the ways in which #biosecurity fencing is deployed across various contexts in Europe and North America. The book, edited by Harrisson & Eilenberg, is freely available at: doi.org/10.33134/HUP...

An endorsement from Frédéric Keck (Directeur de recherche CNRS, Laboratoire d’anthropologie sociale). The endorsement reads: "This book is a significant contribution to the anthropology of biosecurity. Drawing on rich cases documenting the materiality of fences in Europe and North America as well as the conceptual issues raised by the politics of borders, it shows how fences enhance the circulation of living beings in the very movement by which it tries to stop them."

'Fences and Biosecurity: The Politics of Governing Unruly Nature' shows how borders—both physical and conceptual—shape our interactions with #nature and each other. The book is available in #openaccess at: doi.org/10.33134/HUP...

[5/5] L’illibéralisme progresse sans atteindre la majorité absolue. Il attire des électeurs hostiles aux élites et inquiets de la « périphérisation ». Même minoritaires, ces forces peuvent gagner grâce aux systèmes électoraux et aux alliances. #HGGSP #geography #illiberalism #politicalgeography

If you’re into political geography, emotions in politics, or how democracies navigate deep divisions, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

caption from a photo says "Tyler the Creator, US-American Rapper and Producer"

Question for non-United States folks ... Is the adjective/description "US-American" common, or at least familiar to you? I noticed this caption on #wikipedia. (It's better than "USian," I suppose.)

Arguments against the U.S. using "American" as its demonym […]

Friedrich Ratzrl wrote a book that became the founding principles of #politicalgeography. It was found to be the prime inspiration for both #worldwars and was band in the #UnitedStates for decades. It looks like the architects of 2025 have found it. #book Ideas have power.

3 key paradigms analyzed:

1️⃣ #NetworkStates -rooted in crypto-libertarian digital entities

2️⃣ #NetworkSovereignties -focusing on decentralized communal governance

3️⃣ #AlgorithmicNations -emphasizing self-determination through data sovereignty
