“…At the same time, they have promoted empirical research with children, whose perceptions, desires and agencies are often overlooked (Valentine, 2004;Aitken, 2005). This significant and growing body of work is sensitive to the spatiality and relationality of emotions (Anderson and Smith, 2002;Bondi, 2005;Bosco, 2006) and acknowledges the importance of emotions in the constitution of the spatiality of children's social relations and experiences (Bosco, 2010;Bartos, 2013;Wood, 2013). Within this perspective, children's emotions are not seen as interiorised mental states that occasionally surface in 'acting out', but as the underpinning of personal geographies -a compass that helps children make sense of place and relate to the world around them.…”

“…As Pagani et al . (2011: 338) argue, with secure attachment to place, ‘curiosity, empathy and identification can occur' (see also Bartos, ). However, being ‘out of sync' with other users of a particular cultural space can generate a sense of discomfort, felt but often unarticulated, or even shame and embarrassment at getting things wrong within a new cultural context (Probyn, ; Butcher, ).…”

“…However, the intergenerational encounter is also one of difference in which affect and atmosphere need to be taken into account (Mannay, ). As Bartos () has argued, it is in childhood that a sense of place begins to take shape, extending from children's emotional and sensory engagement with their surroundings (see also Abbott‐Chapman and Robertson, ). Youth activities are often bound by neighbourhood structures such as access to facilities and social relationships (Visser et al, ).…”

Analyses of contemporary processes of gentrification have been primarily produced from adult perspectives with little focus on how age affects or mediates urban change. However, in analysing young people's responses to transformations in their neighbourhood we argue that there is evidence for a more complex relationship between ‘gentrifiers' and residents than existing arguments of antagonism or tolerance would suggest. Using a participatory video methodology to document experiences of gentrification in the east London borough of Hackney, we found that young people involved in this study experienced their transforming city through processes of spatial dislocation and affective displacement. The former incorporated a sense of disorientation in the temporal disjunctions of the speed of change, while the latter invoked the embodiment of a sense of not belonging generated within classed and intercultural interactions. However, there are expressions of ambivalence rather than straightforward rejection. Benefits of gentrification were noted, including conditions of alterity and the possibility to transcend normative behaviours that they found uncomfortable. Young people demonstrated the capacity to reimagine their relationship with the complex spaces they call home. The findings suggest a need to reframe debates on gentrification to include a more nuanced understanding of its differential impact on young people.

“…Such agent-based interpretations are directly concerned with questions about consciousness, experience and intentionality. Places are connected to the core of people's existence, their practices, feeling and social relations (Bartos 2013). They have both an intimate dimension and a socialising logic (Antonsich 2010).…”

Place-making at the frontier of Brazilian agribusiness

The intricacies of one of the most relevant agribusiness frontiers in the world today-the north of the State of Mato Grosso, in the southern section of the Amazon, Brazil-are considered through a critical examination of place-making. Vast areas of Amazon rainforest and savannah vegetation were converted there, since the 1970s, into places of intensive soybean farming, basically to fulfil exogenous demands for land and agriculture production. The present assessment goes beyond the configuration of new places at the agricultural frontier, and starts with a qualitative intellectual jump: from place-making on the frontier to place-making as an ontological frontier in itself. It means that, instead of merely studying the frontier as a constellation of interconnected places, we examine the politicised genesis of the emerging places and their trajectory under fierce socio-ecological disputes. The consideration of almost five decades of intense historic-geographical change reveals an intriguing dialectics of displacement (of previous socio-ecological systems, particularly affecting squatters and indigenous groups, in order to create opportunities for migrants and companies), replacement (of the majority of disadvantaged farmers and poor migrants, leading to land concentration, widespread financialisation and the decisive influence of transnational corporations) and misplacement (which is the synthesis of displacement and replacement, demonstrated by mounting risks and a pervasive sentiment of maelstrom). Overall, there was nothing inevitable in the process of rural and regional development, but the problems, conflicts and injustices that characterise its turbulent geographical trajectory were all more or less visible from the outset.
