Lateinamerikanische Geographien haben in den vergangenen Jahren an Bedeutung in deutschsprachigen und anglophonen Diskussionen gewonnen. Das vorliegende Themenheft bündelt über einzelne Themenbereiche hinaus wichtige Impulse, die lateinamerikanische Debatten in Bezug auf deutschsprachige und anglophone kritisch-geographische Diskussionen aussenden. Diese Einführung zeigt, dass die von uns fokussierten Debatten rund um Territorium, Körper und Ökologie sich zu intensiven, facettenreichen und eng mit politischen Debatten und widerständigen Praktiken verflochtenen Diskussionsfeldern verdichtet haben. Um deren Relevanz für die deutschsprachige humangeographische Diskussion darzulegen, liefert die Einführung zugleich einen Überblick über aktuelle lateinamerikabezogene Debatten, die mit genannten Themenfeldern zusammenhängen, v. a. an deutschsprachigen Institutionen.

Wie sähe eine kritische Stadtforschung aus, die von Anbeginn nicht Anonymität, sondern Intimität zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt ihres Stadtverständnisses gemacht hätte? Wie sprächen wir dann über das Recht auf Stadt und über Differenz, wie über städtische Infrastrukturen? Auch wenn Fragen rund um die Privatsphäre und um Intimität die Stadtforschung immer schon begleitet haben, wurde insbesondere Öffentlichkeit als charakteristisch für das Städtische betrachtet, also all das, was als Gegenteil des Privaten konstruiert worden ist. Dieser sub\urban-Debattenaufschlag eröffnet ein vielstimmiges Gedankenspiel, das die kritische Stadtforschung gegen den Strich bürstet. Dabei geht es um das, was Ayona Datta bereits 2015 in ihrem programmatischen Vortrag zur „intimen Stadt“ gefordert hat: die Trennung des Öffentlichen und Privaten in der Geographie neu zu denken. Dafür wählen wir hier einen doppelten Fokus auf Intimität und Infrastruktur. Ziel ist es, den Blick für intime Praktiken und Raumbezüge sowie deren materielle Bedingungen zu schärfen und so Aspekte zu rezentrieren, die in bisherigen Diskussionen ausgeblendet werden, lediglich als negative Kontrastfolie dienen oder nur fragmentarisch auftauchen. Dabei nimmt diese Debatte speziell minoritäre Erfahrungen und Praktiken städtischer Intimität in den Blick. Dadurch sollen „sub-urbane“ Fragmente des Intimen verdichtet und spekulativ zu einer Rekonzeptualisierung des Städtischen genutzt werden.

Ein Anlass für unser „vielstimmiges Gedankenspiel“ zu den Infrastrukturen städtischer Intimität ist die verlockende und womöglich nur vermeintliche Spannung zwischen Intimität auf der einen und Infrastruktur auf der anderen Seite. Dass es sich hier nur vermeintlich um ein Spannungs- und eher um ein wechselseitiges Konstitutionsverhältnis handelt, wird in den Beiträgen zu dieser Debatte deutlich. Sie zeigen auf facettenreiche Weise, dass Intimität, wie sie in menschlichen und mehr-als-menschlichen Beziehungen zum Ausdruck kommt, auch in die Strukturen städtischer gesellschaftlicher Organisation gegossen ist – und zwar speziell in deren infra-strukturelle Komponenten, die städtisches Zueinander beständig vermitteln. In unserer Replik diskutieren wir einige Argumente aus den Kommentaren, die wir spannend fanden, um sie weiter zu vertiefen.

Engaging with the assassination of black city councillor Marielle Franco, the paper discusses how "mil ıcia urbanism", a formation of power and capital accumulation driven by parapolice networks, intensifies the necropolitical governance of Rio de Janeiro. Specifically, this necropolitics is characterised by liaisons among armed, political, institutional and economic actors that enable acts of violence with impunity, aggravating the conditions of violence for subaltern populations. Dialoguing with the Black Studies debate on necropolitics and works on violent democracies, the paper situates mil ıcia urbanism within a postcolonial genealogy of parapolicing. Ever since the colonial plantation, it is argued, parapolicing has been integral to a power technology that avoids sovereign accountability while serving white capital interests. Whereas previous accounts of necropolitics have centred on the sovereign exception, this genealogy furthers an understanding of necropolitics "beyond the exception". The paper concludes that Marielle Franco's black-feminist politics has been vital to contestations of this necropolitics. Resumo: Discutindo o assassinato da vereadora negra Marielle Franco, o artigo analisa como o "urbanismo milciano", uma formac ßão de poder e acumulac ßão de capital impulsionada por redes de parapol ıcia, intensifica a governanc ßa necropol ıtica do Rio de Janeiro. Especificamente, esta necropol ıtica se caracteriza por ligac ßões entre atores armados, pol ıticos, institucionais e econômicos que permitem atos de violência com impunidade, agravando as condic ßões de violência para as populac ßões subalternas. Dialogando com o debate dos Estudos Negros sobre necropol ıtica e trabalhos sobre "democracias violentas", o artigo situa o urbanismo miliciano dentro de uma genealogia p os-colonial de parapoliciamento. Desde a plantac ßão colonial, argumenta-se, o parapoliciamento tem sido parte integrante de uma tecnologia de poder que evita a responsabilidade soberana ao mesmo tempo em que serve os interesses do capital branco. Enquanto os argumentos anteriores de necropol ıtica se centraram na excec ßão soberana, esta genealogia promove uma compreensão da necropol ıtica "al em da excec ßão". O texto conclui que a pol ıtica negra-feminista de Marielle Franco tem sido crucial para as contestac ßões dessa necropol ıtica.

Discussions in geography and cognate disciplines have considered how contemporary formations of power and politics support and give rise to violence in a range of contexts. Often, these discussions have invoked Foucault's and Agamben's analyses of sovereignty as well as governmentality to show how violence is legitimized by state and non-state actors. Focusing on the Brazilian context, the paper argues that this strand of research, though opening up productive analytic pathways, has largely eclipsed a set of powerful technologies that are structured around dependencies. Such issues of dependency have been particularly pronounced in writings that have proposed an ‘embedded’ approach to violence in Latin American urban contexts. Importantly, whereas Foucault- and Agamben-inspired writings have focused largely on how violence is justified and legitimized, studies emphasizing its embeddedness have brought into relief how violence is concealed and removed from systems of accountability. To describe the dependencies enabling such concealment, though, studies of embedded violence have often relied on the notion of ‘political clientelism’. Interrogating the epistemological assumptions associated with this notion, the paper suggests re-framing relations of dependency as constituted through situated technologies that operate, for instance, through performances of benevolence, racialized and gendered discourses or practices of concealment. This, it is argued, opens the view towards other combinations of power than those of sovereignty, discipline and biopolitics that have commonly been focused in the wake of Agamben and Foucault.

The generation of knowledge necessarily depends on embodied and performative practices. While the sociology of knowledge and the feminist discussion of situated knowledges have by now made this much sufficiently clear, the essay enquires into the generative potential that resides in not only acknowledging bodily, performative, and speculative dimensions but also intensifying them. Such intensification, it is argued, fosters the generation of new knowledge as well as ways of knowing otherwise. To develop this argument, the essay relates the question of speculation to the discussions about“performance as research” (Kershaw 2008, 2009; Stutz 2008). Drawing on an interdisciplinary seminar that they conducted in collaboration with Matt Adams from the arts collective Blast Theory, Ernst and Hutta highlight the productive role of paradoxical constellations of facticity and fictionality, embodied specificity and boundlessness, as well as scientific inscription and practical performance. Amplifying rather than reducing such paradoxicality, they argue, prompts performing researchers to develop creative responses to unfolding events, potentially instigating new knowledge as well as new ways of knowing.

While there have been ongoing discussions on gender in German tertiary institutions (though restricted to issues of gender mainstreaming), the engagement with structural racism in their administration, teaching and recruitment practices is still absent. Likewise, class relations which tend to not be subsumed under labels such as "equity" or "diversity" have continued to characterise the German tertiary education sector, despite the reforms in the 1970s. What are the correlations between the (lacking) engagement with racism and debates on gender and class? What are the effects of the increasingly competitive regulation of universities regarding specific power formations and democratic processes? And which practical coping strategies and forms of political intervention can be developed from different positions of marginalisation? These and other questions were put to a round table of five scholars by Jan Hutta, a member of the editorial team of sub/urban, a German journal for critical urban studies. All participants have conducted research on the various facets of race, class and gender relations in tertiary institutions in Germany (and beyond). Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Kien Nghi Ha, Emily Ngubia Kessé, Mike Laufenberg and Lars Schmitt have all experienced these power relations in their respective biographical and work-related contexts and have issued several publications1 on these aspects, serving as an ideal point of departure for this exchange. The conversation took place on an online pad over the period of one month after an opening question was posed to all participants. At several stages during the conversation, different conversation strands emerged, and the conversation soon took on a complex non-linear course that has been edited for structure and coherence. During this process, it became clear that the conversations that began at this round table needed to be continued. The following conversation has been slightly abridged.

Während die Diskussion um Geschlechterverhältnisse an deutschen Hochschulen seit Längerem geführt wird, ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit rassistischen Strukturen nach wie vor randständig. Auch Klassenverhältnisse werden gemeinhin nicht unter Labels wie ‚Gleichstellung’ oder ‚Diversität‘ gefasst, sie prägen die Hochschullandschaft aber auch seit den Reformen der 1970er Jahre noch stark. In welchem Verhältnis steht die (mangelnde) Auseinandersetzung mit Rassismus zu Diskussionen um Geschlechter- und Klassenverhältnisse? Welche Auswirkungen hat die zunehmend wettbewerbsorientierte Steuerung der Hochschulen auf unterschiedliche Machtformen und Teilhabemöglichkeiten? Und welche Formen des praktischen Umgangs und der politischen Intervention können ausgehend von verschiedenen Positionen der Marginalisierung entwickelt werden? Diese Fragen diskutiert Jan Hutta mit fünf Wissenschaftler_innen, die dazu bereits eine Reihe von Studien und Analysen veröffentlicht haben.

The paper challenges writings on affect that locate affective dynamism in autonomic bodily responses while positing discourse and language as "capturing" affect. To move beyond such "verticalism", the paper seeks to further an understanding of language, and semiotics more broadly, as itself affective. Drawing on participatory research conducted in Rio de Janeiro, it uses poetic expression as a paradigmatic case of the affective life of semiotics. Conceptually, it builds on Guattari's discussion of affect in connection to Hjelmslev's semiotic approach and Bakhtin's account of the process of enunciation. It is argued that semiotics play a crucial role in conjuring affective intensities, whereby expressions themselves become affective, as they modify sensory and material registers including prosody and the voice. The argument thus leads to a new understanding of the expression of affect as well as the affectivity of expressions. As expressions become affective, they draw subjects into ongoing processes of affecting and being affected. Such a view moves away from conceptions of semiotics "capturing" or even "translating" or "constructing" affect. It also displaces prevalent conceptions of "affective transmission" in terms of the circulation of physical substances body to body. Moreover, it furthers discursive and semiotic methodologies while also inviting a reconsideration of affective ontologies.

This paper critically engages with the concepts of `feelings of safety' and `fear of crime' as they have been deployed in recent politics of community safety. While the first part of the paper discusses the staging of what is referred to as a dispositif of safety, which discursively frames subjective ^ spatial relations in powerful ways, the second part moves towards an understanding of lived experiences of spaces and places that unfold within, but also beyond, the dispositif of safety. For this purpose, the German concept of Geborgenheit is introduced. For a theoretical elaboration of this concept,Walter Benjamin's work around experience and temporality is referred to and articulated with Deleuzian theory. An analysis of Geborgenheit, it is argued, displaces hegemonic notions of `safety' by addressing the dynamics that enable subjects to open up to and nest within a place. The paper concludes with a discussion of vignettes from a qualitative study in Berlin in order to exemplify the constitution of geographies of Geborgenheit in the context of recent safety politics.

The paper introduces an affective approach to the study of territory and territoriality. Previous discussions of 'territoriality', it is shown, have commonly focused on symbolic dimensions. Where affect has been addressed, it has been mostly in relation to the 'topophilic bond' of people and territory. Instead, the paper suggests understanding both re-and deterritorialization processes as inherently affective. This draws attention to how a series of affective 'vectors'-including fear and aconchego-intensify or dampen de-and reterritorializations. Moreover, it sheds new light on the formation of capacities of acting in spatial context. To develop this argument, the paper draws on approaches to affect that are inspired by Gilles Deleuze's reading of Spinoza. It then uses the examples of fear and what in Portuguese is called aconchego to illustrate some of the analytic questions thus arising. What emerges is an affective cartography that entails understanding power relations as affective, rendering previous distinctions between 'territory' and 'territoriality' questionable.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem 'afetiva' para o estudo de território e territorialidade. Sabe-se que discussões anteriores de 'territorialidade' têm comumente se concentrado nas dimensões simbólicas. Quando o 'afeto' e as emoções foram abordados, na maioria das vezes foi em relação ao 'vínculo topofílico' das pessoas com o território. Este artigo sugere o entendimento tanto dos processos de reterritorizalização como desterritorialização como inerentemente afetivos. Isso chama atenção para como uma série de 'vetores' afetivos-inclusive o medo e o aconchego-intensificam ou atenuam re e desterritorializações. Além disso, projeta uma nova luz sobre a formação de capacidades de agir no contexto espacial. Para desenvolver esse argumento, o artigo se apoia em abordagens de 'afeto' inspiradas pelas leituras de Espinosa apresentadas por Gilles Deleuze. O texto também usa exemplos de medo e de aconchego para ilustrar algumas das questões analíticas apresentadas. O que emerge é uma cartografia afetiva que pressupõe o entendimento de relações de poder como afetivas, tornando distinções prévias entre 'território' e 'territorialidade' questionáveis.

The essay interrogates Gaston Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space regarding its humanistic essentialism. At the same time, it emphasises the methodological impulses of Bachelard’s ‘topo-analysis’, which brings into relief poetic forms of expression in terms of their constitutive relation to ‘subjectivity-in-space’. The essay goes on to examine Bachelard’s focus on ‘topophilic’ relations of subjectivity and space in the context of a de-essentialised approach, drawing on Walter Benjamin and Donna Haraway. In connection to sculptures of the artist Patricia Piccinini, it thus highlights possibilities for ‘other kinds of Geborgenheit’.

This paper scopes the contemporary literatures that examine sexualities in/of the Global South. Recognising the complexities of both ‘sexualities’ and ‘the Global South’, the paper outlines key areas that can be explored under these headings. It questions the conflation of sexualities with homosexualities and contests the assumptions that spatial analyses of the Global South are confined within the discipline of geography. Instead a broad range of material is drawn upon and pointed to highlighting the breadth and possibilities of this field. The paper concludes by considering the shifting and contingent power relations of authors writing the ‘Global South’ from positions of privilege in the Global North. Yet like many before us we call for a reflexive approach that is not afraid of researching these areas but that does recognise the importance of destabilising existing power relations both in terms of geopolitical interventions, and in interrogating academic hegemonies.

Das Handbuch Feministische Geographien ladt dazu ein, feministische Arbeitsweisen und Konzepte in der Geographie kennenzulernen und zu vertiefen. Feministische Geographien zeigen auf, wie sich Raume und intersektional gedachte Geschlechterverhaltnisse gegenseitig beeinflussen. Raume reichen dabei vom Korper uber das Haus bis hin zu Stadtteilen, Regionen, Nationen und globalen Beziehungen. Das Buch zeigt, wie feministische Geographien in der Wissenschaft, aber auch in praxisnahen oder politischen Kontexten gedacht, erforscht und gelehrt werden konnen. This Handbook gives an introduction as well as a deeper look on feminist working methods and concepts in geography. Feminist Geographies analyse how spaces and gender relations influence each other. The concept of spaces ranges from the body to the house, cities and nations to global relationships. The book shows how Feminist Geography can be thought, researched and taught in science, but also in practical or political contexts.
