Michael Ekers

TL;DR: This paper developed an exchange between two important strands of research within contemporary human geography, one concerned the matter of socionatures; the other concerned the operation and establishment of power within liberal, capitalist social formations.

TL;DR: Ekers et al. as mentioned in this paper trace the major modalities of suburban governance through a review of the extant literature on the matter and make a case for each and how they function and interrelate.

TL;DR: The socio-ecological implications of the diversion of fixed capital into the built environment have been insufficiently developed by Harvey and others as discussed by the authors, and neither Harvey nor Smith emphasized the role of political struggle and contestation as internal to the formation of spatial fixes and the production of nature.

TL;DR: This paper revisited the central ontological claim in the production of nature thesis, Neil Smith's proposition that labour is at the heart of the mutual co-production of nature and society, and argued that there is a danger of losing the embodied, historically and geographically specific practices that are so central to the making of natures.
