Geopolitical imaginaries and discourses are subject to long-term changes that can be analyzed with computer-based lexicometric tools. Tracing the appearence of keywords like geopolitics or the Cold War the manuscript draws on media discourses of the past 75 years to show which phases of emergence, disappearance, and reactualization they go through and how the long-lasting discursive archives of geopolitics powerfully weave themselves into current geopolitical representations.

Considering time in climate justice research and practice deepens understanding of climate injustices to vulnerable people and of timely adaptation and resilience strategies. This is what the paper exemplifies by drawing on empirical results of farming communities in India and fishing communities in Norway. It suggests that qualitative scenarios based on the different facets of time as perceived by local groups are a valuable complement to existing quantifications of climate change projections.

The conditions of social work in prisons are seldomly researched. In particular, we focus on its spatial conditions as it works with and for people who are confined, but it is also carried out under conditions of confinement. Based on insights from two prisons in Switzerland we analyse these conditions by focusing on spaces, bodies and emotions. The materiality of the prison translates into the prison logics and enforces them in complex ways on the bodies of prisoners as well as social workers.

La riduzione del rischio, nelle aree poste in prossimità di pareti rocciose, mediante gestione dei sistemi di monitoraggio con finalità d'allerta evidenzia potenzialità, ma anche numerose criticità e limiti. L'articolo prende in esame due frane, originatesi da pareti rocciose, avvenute in prossimità di aree abitate nelle Alpi. Si analizzano costi ed efficacia sia delle opere di difesa sia dei sistemi di monitoraggio con funzione di early warning anche in relazione a soglie d'allerta e scenari.
