FoRE/HOPE

What can everyday resistance and hope teach us about social change? In the face of increasing authoritarianism and social exclusion, there is an urgent need to understand how people deal with oppressive structures and experiences of violence and exclusion in everyday life. Resistance and hope are central to this, as both are practises and aspirations that influence each other.

Geographies of Coloniality and Everyday Violence Research Group (GOCEP)

The Geographies of Coloniality and Everyday Violence Research Group (GOCEP) studies various forms of everyday violence, especially in relation to colonial histories and the prevalence of coloniality in various sites of political and societal crises. We examine diverse geographies of violence - prolonged crises, environmental conflicts, wars - and their multiple relations to imperialism, settler colonialism, and colonial ways of knowing and being as they emerge through the everyday entanglements. While covering various themes, we are particularly interested in embodied materialities, everyday ecologies, and the atmospheres of violence, especially how they appear in ways of undoing power through the irreducibility of the human and non-human to power. The multidisciplinary group is based on Regional Studies, Tampere University.
