“…Under totalising views of 'globalisation' the richness of human identity is collectivised and mobilised as motifs to smooth the flow of capital. Diversity agendas (Ahmed, 2012), pinkwashing (Hartal, 2020), neoliberalised feminism (Dabrowski, 2021;Foster, 2016) and a broader narrative of multiculturalism (Walsh, 2014)-they have all been highlighted as corporatized versions of identity politics that eschews any anti-capitalist and resistive agendas in favour of a creative industrial form of advertising aesthetic to simply sell more products (Mould, 2018). This version of collectivity does little to escape the accumulation protocols that are catalysing climate change; in fact, they exacerbate them.…”

With climate change and pandemics, the last few years has ushered in a planetary age. Moreover, the concept of the ‘globalisation’—a totalising and capitalist‐centric concept that homogenises the entire planet into a territory to conquer—has become incapable of adequately accounting for the planetary events taking place. To date, geographical literature has used the term ‘planetary’ in important, but disparate ways; and in so doing, underplaying the emancipatory potential the concept has in resisting the totalising concept of the ‘globalisation’. This paper looks to the wider humanities and social science to offer four propositions—materiality, human as praxis, antinational and safeguarding—the planetary can be more coherently conceptualised geographically.

“…Ensuing research has explored how at a state level, LGBTQ+ areas in cities have been (re)produced under homonormative entrepreneurial agendas, to opportunistically court cosmopolitan visitors. Such entrepreneurial strategies include city branding (Binnie, 1995; Hughes, 2003), themed gay villages (Bassi, 2006; Kanai, 2014) depoliticised and corporatized city sponsored Pride parades (Browne, 2007; Johnston, 2007), and tourist orientated initiatives (Hartal, 2020; Puar, 2002; Rushbrook, 2002).…”

This paper provides a critical overview of research in geography that has explored the economic lives of Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals. I begin by considering how the consumption and production of mainstream commercial gaybourhoods is the primary approach through which geographies of sexuality, and queer geographies have engaged with economy. I then examine the ways in which digital spaces have blurred the boundaries of consumption and production, arguing that digital spaces are indicative of the much broader range of economic actions in which LGBTQ+ people take part. Finally, I turn to Gibson‐Graham's ‘diverse economies’, suggesting that this concept can attend to the existence of numerous multi‐scalar and overlapping queer economies. Developing a queer economies research agenda is crucial to turn attention beyond consumption and production in a narrow range of gaybourhoods, and to better portray the lives of those frequently excluded from mainstream commercial LGBTQ+ economies.

“…The intricate ways in which the Israeli military regime in the Palestinian Territories is normalized has been analysed thoroughly in academia. Examples are the in-depth analyses of the use of language and maps (Bier 2017;Bowman 2007;Jones, Leuenberger, and Wills 2016;Leuenberger 2016), pink washing (Hartal 2020;Puar 2007Puar , 2013Ritchie 2015), wine washing (Handel, Rand, and Allegra 2015;Monterescu and Handel 2019), the administrative and political performances that strengthen and legitimize the Israeli military rule (Joronen 2017;Yiftachel 1998), the role played by infrastructure and the selective increase of mobility (Baumann 2019;Pullan et al 2007;Salamanca 2015), the role played by thanatopower in the Israeli colonial occupation (Ghanim 2008), the material-architectural history of Palestinian refugee camps (Abourahme 2011(Abourahme , 2015Hanafi and Long 2010), the functioning and impact of checkpoints (Bishara 2015;Braverman 2011Braverman , 2012Grassiani 2015;Griffiths and Repo 2018;Hammami 2004Hammami , 2010Hammami , 2015Hammami , 2019Kaufman 2008;Keshet 2006;Kotef 2011;Kotef and Amir 2007;Mansbach 2009Mansbach , 2012Mansbach , 2016Parizot 2009;Peteet 2017;…”

Present checkpoint futures: the relaunch of checkpoint 300 in Bethlehem in the occupied Palestinian territories

The almost 100 Israeli checkpoints that are located inside the West Bank and on its 'border' with Israel play a particularly important role in the architecture of occupation. They represent key political technologies that are used to monitor, discipline and/or selectively limit the mobility of Palestinians. In this paper, I analyse the ways in which the design of the newly relaunched Checkpoint 300 in Bethlehem represents a certain specific 'checkpoint future', materialized in the continued 'evolution' of Checkpoint 300, its machines and 'façade of legitimacy': a future in which the Israeli military regime controlling the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) is kept in place and the checkpoints and their inherent violence are increasingly normalized. Furthermore, I argue that this 'checkpoint future' does not lead to a less violent or arbitrary checkpoint regime. This remaining presence of violence should not be framed as a failure, instead, the continued presence of violence, analysed here as experienced and expressed in the arbitrary functioning of the checkpoint machines, as well as the 'legitimised façade' of Checkpoint 300 are intrinsically bound and an expression of the same violent future: a future with an enduring Israeli military regime in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
