  1. I once saw someone ask a Korean person, “What is native Korean?” — basically asking who the Indigenous people of Korea are.

    It caught me off guard, because the distinction between “native Koreans” and just “Koreans” doesn’t really work the same way here.

    Unlike settler countries such as the United States, Korea wasn’t established through large-scale overseas settlement and immigration. Most ethnic Koreans are descendants of populations that have lived on the Korean Peninsula for a very long time.

    That doesn’t mean Korea has had no migration or population movement throughout history. Of course it has. It just means that different countries have very different histories of migration, settlement, and state formation, and concepts that make perfect sense in one country may not map neatly onto another.

    Sometimes even a simple question can reveal how differently we imagine what a “country” is.

  6. Blue Kinships: An Exploration of Society & the Ocean by Chiara Certomà, 2025

    Blue Kinship contributes to the emergent movement of ideas and practices that are interpreting the ocean as a conceptual and physical space for reconsidering our relationship with the complex, heterogeneous and mutable ecological systems of the Anthropocene.

  20. Hi @mfi, I just did a search for #HumanGeography and your introduction was one of the few posts I found. Any recommendations on accounts/ servers to dig into for human geography insights?

    I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of the net as a "place", or online spaces as "places", in the way that term is used as an analytical frame within human geography. Also the degree to which a digital human geography might overlap with a digital anthropology, and what distinguishes these approaches.

  26. new blogpost in #paysages: “Personal perception of the 2025 august #wildfire in the #Corbières (#Aude/ #MediterraneanFrance)”

    "The images of the Corbières wildfire motivated me to publish a slightly revised version of my text on my ‚paysages‘ blog, which I sent to Bloomberg journalist Joe Wertz (see below in Italic).

    The Corbières‘ wildfire – or “L’incendie du massif des Corbières de 2025” – how the fire is called in French is the second largest wild fire in France since 1949. The largest and deadliest forest fire in France was the 1949 Landes forest fire, in which 50,000 hectares (500 km2) of forest land were burnt[1] – and 82 people killed. In the Corbières currently (08.08.2025), about 17.000 ha of forest & garrigues bushlands were consumed by flames."
