“…As Pain explores, notions of public and private shape the fear of violent crime experienced by social groups in geographical space -fear which is formulated through structures of social inequality and 8 which impacts the movement of gendered, racialised and classed subjects through space (Pain, 1997;. On a global scale, Hyndman (2001; describes a shift in international discourse from perceptions of the internal affairs of nation states as 'private' and beyond the concern of the international community to an understanding of 'people's bodies, homes, communities, and livelihoods... [as the] battlefields of contemporary conflicts' (Hyndman, 2001, 215-216). This shift opens the way for greater international political intervention into states considered to be 'troubled'.…”

Domestic abuse and the public/private divide in the British military

Domestic abuse and the public/private divide in the British militaryDivisions between the social spheres of public and private are always fluid, mutually constitutive, and politically and socially formulated. Within the British military, such divisions are further framed through the needs of operational effectiveness. In the pursuit of operational effectiveness the public/private divide functions at times as porous, in large part through the military's provision of services such as housing, welfare and policing to personnel and their families and through the notion of a closeknit military community, and at others as firm, bolstering operational effectiveness through recourse to militarised ideas of the private sphere as the fixed space of hearth, home and femininity which is to be protected by military force. This article employs narratives of domestic abuse as a window through which to analyse enactments of the public/private divide in the British military. The analysis draws upon interview participants' experiences of abuse and of help-seeking to illustrate the complex and 2 fluid ways in which the prioritisation of operational effectiveness frames and delimits the public and the private within the contemporary British military in relation to domestic abuse. The impacts of this upon victim-survivors' help-seeking experiences are discussed.

“…Therefore, the everyday practices that construct the state, as lived, routine, daily, and quotidian, are also embodied practices (Mountz 2003;, where "power is experienced close to the skin" (Aretxaga 2003: 396). Drawing on feminist understandings of embodiment (Hyndman 2001;Mountz 2003) redirects attention to the nooks and crannies of everyday life where state practices may lurk, away from obvious sites of power. Haunting redeploys the ghost with activity and effectiveness in the present.…”

“…They are stories written in many different forms. Some have circulated in introductions to Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Lectures given over the past decade and a half and in the subsequent publications of these lectures (e.g., Hyndman 2001;Rose 2010;Peake 2015). Importantly, they are stories full of women's everyday lives embedded in the body of work Suzanne herself published (e.g., Mackenzie 1999), a body of work credited with bringing for the first time "the active human subject into space, into the landscape of geography," and, through its use of feminist methods and methodologies, introducing "a new conceptual language" that pushed the discipline beyond positivism and empiricism into realizations that "material environments are also metaphorical" (Hayford 2010).…”

Writing as righting: Truth and reconciliation, poetics, and new geo‐graphing in colonial Canada

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls for new actions to address Canada's colonial history and colonial present; geographers are implicated in this call.Undertaking logical, linear, or even coherent work about colonial violence risks reproducing it by trying to make sense of and bring closure to something that should, for settler Canadians, remain raw and unsettled.Poetry offers a way of writing about colonial violence by opening new "language-spaces," new geo-graphing possibilities, that refuse existing narratives about colonialism.This paper is anchored in two recent and concurrent openings, openings that offer opportunities for geographers to consider new modes of engaging colonial violence. The first opening is the release, in Canada, of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report and calls to action. By demanding new types of settler-subject attention to Indigenous peoples and places, it opens new spaces for extending reflection about anti-Indigenous racism and colonial violence in Canadian consciousness. The second opening is geography's growing uptake of creative and humanities-informed theories and practices. These manifest in new knowledges and practices with consequent possibilities for addressing colonial violence. I consider these two openings first by proposing changes to conversations about settler-normalized violences lived by Indigenous peoples, and, second by engaging poets working to radically re/configure language and written expression. Specifically, the paper ends with a call for geographers-particularly non-Indigenous settler geographersto rethink ways (and forms) by which we produce knowledge, especially about colonialism and Indigenous geographies and especially in and through writing practices. The paper is experimental in form, meant to disrupt easy uptake or digestion of ideas that must remain-for settler subjects-fundamentally ragged, upsetting, and always beyond conclusion, coherence, or closure.
