BodySpace

by Nancy Duncan (Editor)

BodySpace brings together some of the best known geographers writing on gender and sexuality today. Together they 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 ground - and destabilize - notions of citizenship, work, violence, "race" and disability in their geographical contexts.
The book explores the idea of knowledge as embodied, engendered and embedded in place and space. Gender and sexuality are explored - and destabilized - through the methodological and conceptual lenses of cartography, fieldwork, resistance, transgression and the divisions between local/global and public/private space.

Ovo je zbornik radova, ima zanimljivih, ali sam čitala samo one čiji naslovi su mi se dopali i obrazloženje u predgovoru. Preporučujem rad Nensi Dankan o privatnom i javnom prostoru. :)

A 1996 collection of essays by feminist theorists that flesh out now (in 2021) widely accepted ideas about the gendered and sexed nature of space, e.g. the private/public divide. Valuable to return to, although the ideas are by no means fresh or new. As usually the case with anthologies, some articles are more enriching and to the point than others.
