Spatialities of Displacement in Times of Climate Change
<p>From the US-Mexico border to coastal Colombia, from Brazil to Bangladesh, scholarship on displacement and climate has grown in recent years, reframing climate change not as the sole driver of migration but as part of a complex matrix of economic, social, and political forces. Against this backdrop, this book addresses the climate–space–displacement nexus by foregrounding spatial imaginaries that inspire hopeful futures. Bringing together interdisciplinary contributions from geography, planning, anthropology, sociology, and architecture, it explores resistant and emerging spatialities of displacement. Structured around three sections—Shifting Grounds, Erratic Waters, and Lines of Flight—the volume suggests a shift in emphasis to seriously consider how individual and collective human agency necessarily entangles with ecological and geophysical forces. It engages with the appropriation and signification practices engendered by displaced subjects in shaping social and physical landscapes after the disappearance of their environments or in the generation of new situated ones.</p>
