Topographies/topologies of the camp: Auschwitz as a spatial threshold
TL;DR: The notion of the camp-as-a-spazio-soglia is central to the interpretation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in this article, where the concentration camp was conceived as a metaphorical and real space of exception, contextualized within the broader regional geography planned by the Nazis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Re-scaling ‘EU’rope: EU macro-regional fantasies in the Mediterranean
TL;DR: The authors argue that although there exists a vast literature by geographers and other scholars that engages with the production of EU-ropean spaces through regionalization, the policy literature generated by EU macro-regional experts appears to entirely ignore these debates, professing an understanding of regions that is a conceptual pastiche at best, and that entirely occludes the political and geopolitical implications of region-making within, at, and beyond ‘EU’rope-s borders.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mediterranean alternative
Paolo Giaccaria,Claudio Minca +1 more
TL;DR: A critical review of Italian and French Mediterranean studies from a postcolonial and geographical perspective is presented in this paper, where the authors argue that the relationship between contemporary Mediterranean geographies and mainstream European modernities has been overlooked by Mediterraneanist literature, a literature from which geography has been surprisingly absent.

Life in space, space in life: Nazi topographies, geographical imaginations, and Lebensraum
Paolo Giaccaria,Claudio Minca +1 more
TL;DR: The role of the notion of Lebensraum in shaping the biopolitical and genocidal machinery implemented by Hitlerism and its followers is explored in this paper, where the authors claim that the Third Reich incorporated LebENSRAUM by merging its duplicitous meaning, as living/vital space and as life-world.
