“…Questions of biosecurity and global health are in fact assigning center-(political)stage again to interventions aimed at the definition and the protection of life (and death), while engaging with new interpretations of the human body in relation to the possibility of bio-mapping offered by the new technologies, and of population management allowed by the implementation of biometrics (Amoore, 2006;Vaughan-Williams, 2008). The threshold between life and death is therefore not only constantly questioned, but also located at the very core of biopolitical considerations about the judicial order, and the relationship between individual rights e including that of residing in one country or location e and the collective body politic (Bauder, 2014;De Genova & Peutz, 2010;Kelly & Morton, 2004).…”

“…We are concerned in particular with the ways in which emotions are enrolled into a historic transnational travel. Such an effort also builds upon existing social and cultural geographical work on narratives of immigrant history (Kelly and Morton ), emotional geographies of heritage and homeland (Kearney ) and the geographies of secured spaces and disease control (Enticott ; Major ). In taking an historical approach, our study thus departs empirically from a recent stream of work on biopolitics, emotions and security in contemporary transnational travel (Ashmore , ; Hinchliffe and Bingham ; Kelly and Morton ; Muller ; Vannini ).…”

Disciplined Mobility and the Emotional Subject in Royal Dutch Lloyd's Early Twentieth Century Passenger Shipping Network

2014

This paper examines the disciplined mobility and emotional geographies of “between‐deck” passengers in Royal Dutch Lloyd's early Twentieth Century passenger shipping network. Specifically, it is concerned with the ways in which the network was established and with the efforts made to maintain it. It is found that such a disciplinary network furthers the firm's goal of shipping healthy and productive bodies for corporate profits and that transhipment facility Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam was integral to the performance and maintenance of such a transnational disciplinary network. The key consequence of such disciplined mobility was the creation of an emotional passenger‐migrant subject shaped in relation to the power of corporate, cultural and other authorities in maritime travel and migration. In identifying this historic network of disciplined mobility and its emotional subject, this paper seeks to reveal the emotional geographies relating to mobile subjectivities and the power relations associated with their historically significant travels.

“…Drawing both on traditions of the psychoanalytic in geography and ongoing interest in the work of memory and remembrance (Keil, 2005), recent work on the city has used metaphors of ghosts (Battista et al, 2005) and angels (Pile, 2005) to engage with spectrality -that which cannot be seen, perceived or classified, yet exists as a powerfully felt presence. In particular, geographers have used notions of haunting and the uncanny to interpret city spaces including Berlin (Till, 2005), Pretoria (Hook, 2005) and New York's Ellis Island (Kelly and Morton, 2004). For Millington (2005) the framing of the Palace Hotel in Southend-on-Sea requires not only understanding negative local social constructions of asylum-seekers, but also the notion of melancholia or mourning.…”

Since the last report on qualitative methods (Crang, 2005), much has been going on as normal within the practical procedures of doing qualitative research. Human geographers continue to study texts, to conduct interviews, to convene groups and to engage in ethnography. Indeed, it is hard, though perhaps not impossible, to imagine what a radically new form of qualitative research practice might look like. So, for the time being, this suite of methods remains the backbone of qualitative research in human geography. Yet, we would like to contend that whilst these activities continue as before, there are changes in the way they are being conceived and carried out, and related to this, there are transformations in the way these methods are being used to make claims to understanding and intervening in the world. In the first of our three reports on qualitative methods, it is this link between qualitative methodologies and interpretative strategies we would like to reflect on. If looking for a provocative metaphor and some opening arguments, then a good starting point is John Law's methods (anti)textbook After Method: Mess in social science research (Law 2004). From this it is possible to derive elements that describe some, if not encapsulate all, of these impulses. Firstly, and above all, there is rejection of singularity; of the operation of social science research methods simply to generate clarity, precision and reduce uncertainty and ambiguity in our understanding of the world. This is not to argue that existing 3 methodological repertoires are irrelevant, nor that empirical research is futile (though it does raise thorny issues for simplistic approaches to the orthodoxy of triangulation). Rather, there is the suggestion that we need to revise our understanding of what social science investigations achieve as particular ways of framing and interfering with the world. There is commitment to understanding all research as performative; that our methods help enact the real in different situations (Law and Urry, 2004; Makussen, 2005). Thus we have to figure out what it means to engage with the world, both in methodological practice, but also in our choice of interpretative strategy and ethical aspirations (Bennett, 2001). In place of the pursuit of certainty in generating representations of the world, there is recognition that the world is so textured as to exceed our capacity to understand it, and thus to accede that social science methodologies and forms of knowing will be characterised as much by openness, reflexivity and recursivity as by categorisation, conclusion and closure.We explore these issues below through three themes recurring in recent qualitative research in human geography: questions of agency, embodiment and emotion; being within nature; and the performativity of place. Concluding, we reflect briefly on the politics of these forms of qualitative research, raising questions we intend to explore more explicitly in our review next year, perhaps anticipating that practical experimentation and critical dia...
