“…Pratt’s (1992: 7) account of the contact zone thus prioritizes the dimensions of encounter that were largely overlooked by the accounts of domination and conquest characteristic of early travel writing and exploration (Rovisco, 2010). It therefore offers a critical perspective on the unequal exchanges and ‘material and cultural costs of colonialism’, whilst not overlooking the agency, participation and resistance of colonized and indigenous people (Nash, 2002: 221; Shaw et al, 2006; Stouraiti, 2012). Because of the emphasis placed on the links between encounter, unequal exchange and pedagogy, the ‘contact zone’ has been used to examine other settings, including spaces of education and research (Besio, 2003; Elmborg, 2006; Manathunga, 2009).…”

“…Encounters can also produce anxiety, fear, resentment or violence (Hou, 2016; Listerborn, 2015). They can harden prejudice, affirm and (re)produce binary logics, aggravate existing conflicts or re-enact unequal power relations (Allen, 2004; Lobo, 2013; Stouraiti, 2012). Indeed, recognition of the negative potentials of encounters has led to well-documented efforts to restrict, minimize or prevent them (Schuermans, 2016b).…”

The notion of encounter has been used widely within work on urban diversity and socio-cultural difference, yet it remains under-theorized. This paper argues that ‘encounter’ is a conceptually charged construct that is worthy of sustained and critical attention. Drawing on a wide range of geographical interests, including animal geographies, urban diversity, postcolonialism, mobile geographies, and the more-than-human, it offers the first examination of how ‘encounter’ has been deployed across the discipline. By further tracing the historical links between geography and encounter, the paper contends that encounters are distinct genres of contact, and demonstrates why this matters for geographical thought, and how we think about bodies, borders, and difference.

“…The concept of encounters has been used to examine contact between groups distinct in terms of social identity and categorisation, which imply some form of potential conflict, prejudice or unease (Valentine, 2008; Wilson, 2017). Encounters hold the potential for changing intergroup relations, either by chipping away from prejudices and misconceptions about others and producing new convivialities (Leitner, 2012; Schuermans, 2013; Vertovec, 2015; Wilson, 2017), or by reaffirming prejudice, producing resentment, aggravating conflicts and reinforcing unequal power relations (Lobo, 2013; Stouraiti, 2012; Wilson, 2017). Yet these encounters do not take place in a vacuum, but in the presence of historically produced configurations of power and status (Vertovec, 2021).…”

This article examines how the location, function and quality of immigrant accommodation facilities, regulated by local housing policies, shape the perceived effects of immigration on the well‐being of residents and immigrants in three villages in the Netherlands. Drawing on semistructured interviews with local government representatives, residents and Romanian and Polish immigrants, we show how the different locations of the immigrant accommodations condition social interactions between residents and immigrants and, in this process, reinforce social hierarchies and inequalities. We illustrate how, sometimes unintentionally, spatial policies prepare the stage for conflicts to arise between immigrants and residents, shaping the latter's experiences of migration irrespective of the behaviour of the former. For immigrants, the location of their accommodation sets the limits to what they can do in terms of private behaviour and social relations, exposing them to social control and evaluation.

“…Contact zones offer travellers and 'travelees' an opportunity to develop relations in 'co-presence, interaction, interlocking understandings and practices' (Pratt, 2008 p. 8) and may be a means to create third spaces for common empathetic understanding in places of conflict. Geographers have also recognised the potential that encounters pose to investigate multiculturalism (Nagel & Hopkins, 2010), colonisation, and indigenous peoples (Stouraiti, 2012) as sites 'of destabilization … co-constitution, improvisation and interaction' (Wilson, 2017, p. 457).…”

Living in theWakeof Rural Irish Troubles: building an institution for sustainable peace through emotive out-of-place tourism

During the thirty-year period known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland, 3500 people died and thousands more suffered physical disabilities and psychological trauma. Belfast, among other conflict cities, helped inspire the term 'dark tourism' in 1989. The country continues to be in conflict but is officially in a period of peace. Northern Ireland has been the theme for much peace and reconciliation research, but literature to date concentrates on polarised discourses rather than rural representation. Toward meeting and expanding the UN SDG16 peace goals, this research explores how what we term emotive peace tourism can be used as a methodology to affect emotional reconciliation registers in a unique rural Northern Ireland visitor experience. Bringing domestic tourists from Catholic and Protestant communities into face-to-face contact through a liminal participative 'out-of-place' visitor experience, we choreographed and performed a series of "Troubles" events: a guided night walk through a checkpoint, an IRA Wake, a UDA Funeral, and a Mixed-Marriage. Contributing to the debate as to whether tourism is more of a 'peacekeeper' than a 'peacemaker', our research demonstrates that an in situ liminal, emotive peace tourism experience, can generate sustainable tolerance, respect, trust, sympathy, and empathy towards others in post-conflict Northern Ireland and likely elsewhere.
