BodySpace

Destabilising Geographies of Gender and Sexuality
Herausgeber: Duncan, Nancy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the idea of knowledge as embodied, engendered and embedded in place and space, gender and sexuality are re-examined through the methodological and conceptual lenses of cartography, fieldwork, resistance, transgression and the divisions between local/global and public/private space. "BodySpace" brings together some of the best known geographers writing on gender and sexuality today to explore the role of space and place in the performance of gender and sexuality. The book takes a broad perspective on feminism as a theoretical critique, and aims to reassess notions of sexuality, citizenship, work, violence, "race" and disability in their geographical contexts.
