“…Geography continues to have an impact on lifeworlds: Ecologies and their multispecies coexistences are shaped by contours of land and water; federal, state, national, and international policies constrain and facilitate opportunity; the way built structures are arranged shapes the way in which people engage with and within them (Adams, 2016;Fullilove, 1996;Simms, 2008;Snyder, 2020). But community can be constituted in many ways-through geography, perhaps, but also through affinity, as with furries, or with players drawn to a particular online game world (Gee, 2004), or through communities of practice characterized by "situated learning," such as the tailors and butchers described by Lave and Wenger (1991), or through "processes involving configurations of relations among different actors or institutions" involved in mutual dependence, struggle or conflict, as in the "relational ethnographies" proposed by Desmond (2014, p. 547), or through contested and even invisible claims to kinship, as Leite (2017) described in her study of Marrano ("hidden Jews") in Portugal. Meanwhile, individual participants are likely to occupy an intersectional array of identities, positions, and places, as (for example) Jenkins and Csordas (2020) observed in their study of the varied experiences of adolescents receiving psychiatric treatment in the American Southwest.…”
