Short description of contents:
The essay applies the practices of spatial production to maritime cooperation making place across (and around) the Channel. Although its geographical features make its crossing particularly difficult, this stormy stretch of water has been a place of connection, co-operation, and separation between the UK and the Continent. This makes maritime cooperation around the Channel and its coastal areas an intriguing field of research in the aftermath of Brexit. Evidently,
the Channel’s collective place-consciousness will depart from that previously produced under EU maritime cooperation schemes. A renewed collective place-consciousness for the Channel is therefore needed.
