“…It is made in opposition to cultural discourses that fold distance (both physical and intimate) into difference, and thus legitimate the heightened exposure of unknown 'others' to precarity (see also Gregory 2004). By contrast, Butler's ethics of precarity demands that we are responsive to all 'others', known and unknown, a demand that resonates closely with efforts to think about ethical responsibility as a geographical responsibility (Massey 2005, Sparke 2007). …”

In particular, I focus on family spatial practices that reduce or alleviate heightened exposure to violence, some of which can be understood as a source of ethical responsiveness. This leads to a call for more geographically, politically and ethically nuanced approaches to apprehending family spaces.

“…Western countries' value-based arms control initiatives would appear to script a geopolitics of hope (Sparke 2007) -a more cosmopolitan geopolitical order in which sovereign states act in the defence of non-territorial principles. Together with more general public statements about ethics in foreign policy, such initiatives can be seen as a product of emerging norms of human rights and democracy at the international level, which have ascribed new rules, roles and obligations to sovereign states (Dodds 2005, Schmitz 2004Solomon 2006).…”

AbstractOver the past two decades, Western political leaders have scripted a more ethical foreign policy, wherein far greater weight is given to protecting the rights and freedoms of extraterritorial citizens. Using the example of arms exports to developing countries, the present paper exposes the organized hypocrisy underlying countries' self-declared ethical turn. We show that the major Western arms supplying states -France, Germany, the UK and the US -have generally not exercised export controls so as to discriminate against human rights abusing or autocratic countries during the post-Cold War period. Rather, we uncover ongoing territorial egoism, in that arms have been exported to countries which serve supplying states' domestic economic and security interests.

“…These literatures have generated important insights, particularly the more critical and detailed accounts of the new geopolitics of fear which include contributions from political geographers (e.g. Katz 2007;Megoran 2005;Sparke 2007). However, the model of fear that provides the basis for these discussions is not always reflective of the ways that fear is felt, patterned and practiced in everyday life.…”

Drawing on feminist scholarship, I call for an emotional geopolitics of fear which connects political processes and everyday emotional topographies in a less hierarchical, more enabling relationship. I employ conscientization as a tool to inform the reconceptualisation of global fears within critical geopolitics, and to move forward epistemological practice and our relationship as scholars with social change.
