- Methodologische Reflexionen zur reflexiven Fotografie aus den Perspektiven
postkolonialer Kritik
Abstract: Methodologische Reflexionen zur reflexiven Fotografie aus den Perspektiven postkolonialer Kritik
Andreas Eberth
Geogr. Helv., 78, 479–491, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-479-2023, 2023
In diesem Beitrag wird der Fokus primär auf post- und dekoloniale Konturierungen epistemischer Gewalt gelegt. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und inwiefern Visualisierungen, die im Rahmen qualitativer empirischer Forschung entstehen, einen Beitrag leisten können, der Kritik zu begegnen und Gewaltverhältnisse zumindest zu reduzieren oder epistemische Gewaltverhältnisse weiter stützen.

- Sauerian phenomenology: German Theory and Carl Sauer's The Morphology of
Landscape
Abstract: Sauerian phenomenology: German Theory and Carl Sauer's The Morphology of Landscape
Maximilian Gregor Hepach
Geogr. Helv., 78, 467–478, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-467-2023, 2023
Carl Sauer is considered to be the founder of cultural geography. I reassess Sauer's work by considering the debates in German geography that led up to the publication of his seminal work The Morphology of Landscape. Instead of focusing on culture, I focus on Sauer's use of phenomenology (for the first time in geography). I argue that Sauerian phenomenology provides answers for central philosophical problems of geography regarding the reality of area, region, and landscape.

- Situated sites of migration control: Swiss deportation practices and their
relational materiality in prisons, hospitals, and airports
Abstract: Situated sites of migration control: Swiss deportation practices and their relational materiality in prisons, hospitals, and airports
Lisa Marie Borrelli
Geogr. Helv., 78, 453–465, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-453-2023, 2023
This work takes up diverse sites of deportation and their socio-materiality. It adds to the growing literature on deportation infrastructures by emphasizing the inseparability of deportation procedures from the specific sites in which they unfold. It highlights the analytical interest and political agency of such spaces. The ethnographic data analyse the role of human and non-human actors, giving particular attention to the situatedness and relationality of deportation infrastructures.

Abstract: Challenging global changes in a post-revolutionary context: the case of irrigated olive growing in central Tunisia
Emilie Lavie, Pepita Ould Ahmed, Philippe Cadène, Ismail Chiab, and Vassili Kypreos
Geogr. Helv., 78, 417–428, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-417-2023, 2023
Our research in central Tunisia shows how olive growers are implementing strategies to respond to a triple problem: a capitalist agriculture that depends on global governance, climatic changes that are observed through a decrease in rainfall at the regional scale of the Mediterranean Basin and post-revolution political changes at the local scale.

- Adaptive governance as bricolage
Abstract: Adaptive governance as bricolage
Fanny Frick-Trzebitzky, Rossella Alba, and Kristiane Fehrs
Geogr. Helv., 78, 397–409, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-397-2023, 2023
Institutional bricolage and socio-technical tinkering are lenses that expose everyday entanglements, arrangements and processuality in governance. We combine both lenses to analyse adaptive water governance in Accra, Ghana, and Mansfeld-Südharz, Germany. We conclude that the bricolage perspective contributes to bringing multiple forms of being and knowing into engagement when envisioning adaptive water governance in the Anthropocene.

Abstract: Arrival brokers as a key component of the arrival infrastructure: how established migrants support newcomers
Nils Hans
Geogr. Helv., 78, 381–391, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-381-2023, 2023
The article shows that new immigrants in arrival neighbourhoods can draw on the experience of previous immigrants, who pass on their arrival-specific knowledge. The research is part of a PhD thesis, in which the relevance of arrival infrastructures for the arrival process of immigrants is investigated. The findings of this article are based on 17 interviews with established migrants in an arrival neighbourhood in the German city of Dortmund.

initiatives
Abstract: Intentionality and visibility in state- and society-led climate approaches: towards a more comprehensive understanding of local adaptation initiatives
Peter Eckersley, Wolfgang Haupt, Viviana Wiegleb, Jens Niewind, and Antje Otto
Geogr. Helv., 78, 369–380, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-369-2023, 2023
Research into climate adaptation may neglect activities that are (1) not undertaken by government bodies, (2) not designed specifically to reduce the potential impact of climate threats and/or (3) not labelled explicitly as adaptation. We present a framework to examine these under-explored initiatives and draw on two studies of municipalities and small businesses in Germany to highlight various activities that contribute to climate resilience but are largely unintentional and/or hidden.

- Infrastructures in the context of arrival – multidimensional patterns of

Germany
Abstract: Infrastructures in the context of arrival – multidimensional patterns of resource access in an established and a new immigrant neighborhood in Germany
Nihad El-Kayed and Leoni Keskinkılıc
Geogr. Helv., 78, 355–367, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-355-2023, 2023
We analyze different kinds of local infrastructures in an established and in a rather new immigrant neighborhood in Germany and compare how they shape the arrival of refugees who have come to Germany since 2014/15. The results show that we need to understand infrastructures and the way they shape arrival in a multidimensional way that includes inclusive as well as exclusive aspects of local infrastructures, specifying for whom infrastructures work in an inclusive or exclusive way.

- The open society and its life chances – from Karl Popper via Ralf

Abstract: The open society and its life chances – from Karl Popper via Ralf Dahrendorf to a human geography of options and ligatures
Olaf Kühne, Laura Leonardi, and Karsten Berr
Geogr. Helv., 78, 341–354, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-341-2023, 2023
The struggle for life chances, especially in the context of related social conflicts, is a global phenomenon, although the concept originated in the German-speaking world. Using a case study of possible conflicts over space and landscape, the relevance of these four approaches for spatial research and human geography, as well as for dealing with space- or landscape-related conflicts, is demonstrated.

Abstract: German Theory als Geographie im Konjunktiv, oder: „Was nie geschrieben wurde, lesen“
Benedikt Korf
Geogr. Helv., 78, 325–336, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-325-2023, 2023
In this paper, I approach German Theory as a conjunctive geography: as something that could, but did not take place. I explore the reasons why there is no German Theory (yet) by tracing the Foucault reception in German language geography and the German humanities. I study why these two variants of a German Foucault have not traveled to Anglophone geography. Finally, I speculate what could have happened had the German Foucault traveled to Anglophone geography.

Christiane Schürkmann
Geogr. Helv., 78, 309–323, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-309-2023, 2023
Managing radioactive waste is a highly emotional issue. From an ethnographic perspective, the article examines how emotions and affects are voiced and represented by the actors involved in the ongoing site selection process in Germany. This opens up a field of tension in which emotions and affects are once marginalized in order to make the procedure objective. At the same time emotions and affects emerge as a resource for engagement in interaction.

Abstract: The contested environmental futures of the Dolomites: a political ecology of mountains
Andrea Zinzani
Geogr. Helv., 78, 295–307, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-295-2023, 2023
My paper reflects on mountain environmental futures by bringing into dialogue political ecology and mountain geographies. The Dolomites show contested environmental futures and their politicization between accumulation by sustainability ideas and radical environmental visions. Moreover, they encompass experiences and practices that envision the convivial conservation perspective and could advance the political ecology of the mountain with specific regard to the Global North.

Abstract: Unruly waters: exploring the embodied dimension of an urban flood in Bangkok through materiality, affect and emotions
Leonie Tuitjer
Geogr. Helv., 78, 281–290, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-281-2023, 2023
We need to consider the emotional and bodily ways in which we connect to the ecologies of the city. This paper joins such efforts and explores the flood experiences of a diverse group of Bangkokians during the 2011 inundation. The paper attends to the interactions between social forces and material forces that shaped the flooding event and contributes nuanced insights about the embodied and emotional experiences of floods within the delta city.

- Landscape and its possible “new” relevance: ethics and some forgotten

Abstract: Landscape and its possible “new” relevance: ethics and some forgotten narratives on human mobility
Stefania Bonfiglioli
Geogr. Helv., 78, 267–280, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-267-2023, 2023
This article aims to provide a reinterpretation of the concept of landscape and to investigate, in some respects, its possible new relevance. I argue that the possible new relevance of landscape also lies in some forgotten ethical narratives on mobility that it has inherited from its chorographic roots. The final section is dedicated to the theoretical contributions that the chorographic side of landscape can provide to some contemporary debates on mobility and to geographic ideas of ethics.

Abstract: Framing REDD+: political ecology, actor–network theory (ANT), and the making of forest carbon markets
Juliane Miriam Schumacher
Geogr. Helv., 78, 255–265, https://doi.org/10.5194/gh-78-255-2023, 2023
New theoretical approaches like actor–network theory have become influential in human geography, questioning previous approaches to addressing human–environment relations. In this paper, I use the example of a controversial, forest-based climate protection scheme, REDD+, to show how these approaches are changing research foci and practices – from an analysis of the neoliberalization of nature to the making of markets and from the effects on human users to those on non-humans.
