“…In its early development, carceral geographers turned their attention to spaces of captivity, holding, detention, quarantine, and imprisonment in particular (Moran, 2016). Under this remit, scholars have investigated diverse aspects of carceral life; focussing upon change and difference for various groups of individualsfor adults, children, young people, those convicted of crimes, migrant detainees, asylum-seekers, etc.across space and time, and between cultures and jurisdictions (see Bloch and Olivares-Pelayo, 2021;Martin, 2021;McGeachan, 2019;Repo, 2019;Schliehe, 2021, among other numerous recent examples). The breadth of empirical work is vast, often attending to emotional and embodied geographies of carceral life.…”

Geographers have expanded notions of the carceral, the military and war far beyond conventional ideas of the prison, the armed forces of the nation state and armed conflict, thus situating spaces of confinement, surveillance and monitoring in deep histories of violence. Nevertheless, we argue that renewed attention to these ‘conventional’ institutions reveals unanswered questions about prisons during and after war, conversion of military bases, and deployment of ex-military personnel, whose exploration would enhance understandings of the nature of the carceral, and the relationship between ‘military’ and ‘civilian’.

The technological obstructions of asylum: Asylum seekers as forced techno-users and governing through disorientation

This article deals with the technologies and apps that asylum seekers need to navigate as forced hindered techno-users in order to get access to asylum and financial support. With a focus on the Greek refugee system, it discusses the multiple technological intermediations that asylum seekers face when dealing with the cash assistance programme and how asylum seekers are obstructed in accessing asylum and financial support. It explores the widespread disorientation that asylum seekers experience as they navigate un-legible techno-scripts that change over time. The article critically engages with the literature on the securitization and victimization of refugees, and it argues that asylum seekers are not treated exclusively as potential threats or as victims, but also as forced hindered subjects; that is, they are kept in a condition of protracted uncertainty during which they must find out the multiple technological and bureaucratic steps they are requested to comply with. In the final section, the article illustrates how forced technological mediations actually reinforce asylum seekers’ dependence on humanitarian actors and enhance socio-legal precarity.

“…Such spatio-temporal logics of immobilisation take the form of ad hoc/impromptu legislation and curfews that instil fear and uncertainty to immobilise refugees (Sanyal, 2018), or indefinite detention that entails regular transfers across multiple spaces (Tazzioli and Garelli, 2020). Technologies of spatial and temporal control impact migrant identities and subjectivities, not only connoting illegality or criminalisation but also producing particular kinds of economic subjectivities as waiting time is converted to devalued labour value (Coddington et al, 2020; Martin, 2020).…”

Social geography I: Time and temporality

Time and temporality have gained renewed attention in the social sciences. This report examines such research in social geography, contextualising these developments in earlier geographical scholarship. It excavates the contemporary ways in which time and temporality’s relationship with space is conceptualised to analyse social relations, social inequalities and social justice. The report discusses three domains: intimate space-times, life stage and life-course; migration, mobility and social inequalities; and human–nature relations in the past, present and future. The report argues that the temporal framings and strategies of how people engage with unequal socio-spatial relations are core to the enduring concerns of social geographers.
