This paper questions the recent recasting of fear within critical geopolitics. It identifies a widespread metanarrative, ‘globalized fear’, analysis of which lacks grounding and is remote, disembodied and curiously unemotional. A hierarchical scaling of emotions, politics and place overlooks agency, resistance and action. Drawing on feminist scholarship, I call for an emotional geopolitics of fear which connects political processes and everyday emotional topographies in a less hierarchical, more enabling relationship. I employ conscientization as a tool to inform
the reconceptualisation of global fears within critical geopolitics, and to move forward
epistemological practice and our relationship as scholars with social change.
Keywords: fear, geopolitics, emotion, feminism, conscientization
