“…Challenging the prevailing tendencies to focus on abstract categories and generalizations, these thinkers expose the bodily character of political violence (e.g., Sylvester, 2005Sylvester, , 2011Sylvester, , 2012aSylvester, , 2012bScarry, 2005), paying attention to gendered, raced, and sexualized aspects of geopolitics and IR (e.g., Enloe, 1983Enloe, , 1989Enloe, , 2010Iveson, 2010;Katz, 2007;Mayer, 2008;Moser & Clark, 2001;Puar, 2005Puar, , 2017Puar & Rai, 2002;Radcliffe & Westwood, 1993;Sharoni, 2001;Zarkov, 2001). By dislocating the long-established binarism of the global/international/national/public and the intimate/domestic/banal/private, feminist theorists demonstrate how violence operates in multiscalar ways (see, e.g., Brickell, 2015;Cuomo, 2013;Pain, 2014Pain, , 2015Pain & Staeheli, 2014), exposing the continuities of military warfare and everyday violence (Christian & Dowler, 2019;Christian et al, 2016;Cuomo, 1996;Fluri, 2022;Jones, 2023). Such a formulation enables 'the dovetailing of grand geopolitical discourse and lived, quotidian geographies of the home, the street, the border, the combat zone, the factory or the prison camp' (Jones & Sage, 2010, p. 316).…”

“…In line with feminism‐inspired analytical frameworks indicating that in order to better understand the tangled continuities of political violence's complex operations it is necessary to work across different subfields of geographical research (Christian & Dowler, 2019; Christian et al., 2016; Cuomo, 1996; Fluri, 2022; Gregory, 2010; Jones, 2023), this section discusses the current circumstances of the West Bank, in which slow violence and warfare could be seen as part of a ‘single complex of violence’ (Christian & Dowler, 2019; Christian et al., 2016; Pain, 2015).…”

Slowness as warfare: Towards a relational approach to political violence in the West Bank

Engaging with recent applications of the concept of slow violence to the ongoing political developments in the West Bank, this review article argues that the relational approach offered by feminist geopolitics facilitates the conception of slow violence and warfare as part of a single complex of violence. The article traces feminist geopolitics' contribution to research on geographies of slow violence on the one hand, and to the analyses produced within the fields of critical geopolitics and critical war studies on the other, exposing that scholarly work exploiting the relational approach generated within and across these areas of research enables a broader understanding of political violence's tangled operations. Based on the analysis of the recent scholarly engagement with slow violence in the West Bank, the article proposes that thinking of slowness as a form of warfare captures the complex entanglement of different modalities of violence as they materialize in specific spatio‐temporal circumstances. Moreover, such an approach contributes to the further reinvigoration of feminist geopolitics with insights generated within (settler) colonial studies.

“…Fernanda's biophysiological profile offers a powerful empirical counter‐narrative to any assumption that living in a situation of ‘chronic’ violence (Pearce, 2007), ‘slow’ violence (Bickerstaff, 2022), or ‘enduring’ violence (Jones, 2023) might necessarily result in a deadening of affective response. Despite undergoing various deeply traumatic experiences, she embodies the border in ways that sustain active engagement in community work.…”

Biosocial borders: Affective debilitation and resilience among women living in a violently bordered favela

Within emerging fields of research focusing on neuro-urbanism, neuro-geographies, and biosociality, which experiment with using emerging mobile biosensor methods, few if any have used them to research socio-spatial life in communities that suffer high levels of violence and other socio-spatial injustices. Extending non-representational accounts of the body, emotions, and affect, this paper discusses an experimental geography-neuroscience collaboration, working in a favela of Rio de Janeiro to explore the embodied urban emotions and affects of violently bordered urban communities. Emphasising non-representational, corporeal spatial practices in a study of women living in Brazil's favelas, we use electrodermal activity biosensors to propose a novel methodological and analytical approach that focuses on forms of affective debilitation and resilience. Theoretically, we draw on biopolitical theory and border theory to propose a method that avoids oppositions between biopolitical and necropolitical accounts of borders. The aim of the research, conducted in June 2016, is to understand levels of affective debilitation or resilience among women living in the Maré Complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Using a wearable biosensor, we took measures of electrodermal activity of eight women as they undertook one of their routine, everyday journeys within the favela. We also conducted an hour-long qualitative interview with each participant. We find that for all our participants, navigating the favela's violent border spaces subjects their bodies to very high levels of affective and cognitive demand. While some women responded to this with stress reactions that created acute levels of affective debilitation, others responded very strongly, showing exceptionally high levels of affective resilience. Our research highlights the affective labour required of women to co-construct urban borders, and emphasizes their agency and forms of everyday resistance in shaping the favela's affective atmospheres.Combined biosensing (electrodermal activity/galvanic skin response) data and interview data reveal that women living in the favela experience high levels of

“…We do not think that interest in Latin American and Caribbean geographies should be constrained to scholars with an interest in the regions. Our recent turn towards geographies in the world is a start, but much more work is needed to engage with Latin American and other non‐Anglophone geographies (see Esson et al, 2021; Jones, 2022; Joronen, 2021; Nayak, 2017). As we explore possible strategies for opening greater dialogue, we therefore invite the TIBG community to care for the work involved in translating and working across different languages and canonical literatures.…”

In this editorial we ask key questions about what it means to publish ‘a journal’ in a world of publishing which is driven by individual article metrics and online access. Seeing the value of journals as venues for intellectual debate, we therefore set out a renewed vision as to how the Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers can provide space for more collective and collaborative approaches to geographical debate. This approach revolves around the idea of ‘transactions’ itself and creating spaces in the journal for more commentary, debate and dialogue, alongside continuing to publish landmark papers.
