Abstract
This commentary calls for a human geography that is more attentive to the complexities of making sense of place in extreme and troubling times. It explores how place is produced, navigated, and, importantly, enclosed in a time of climate crisis. It argues that, in particular contexts, very ordinary, mundane, even boring emotions and affective registers might animate this process, grounding future thinking within the present moment. It then turns to think through how such conditions are being produced and manufactured through extraordinary enclosures and analogue spaces.
