Mapping the Subject - Geographies of Cultural Transformation (Paperback, New)

The human subject is difficult to map for numerous reasons; it is always on the move, both culturally and in fact, has no precise boundaries, and is a mass of conflicting subject positions.

Mapping the SubjectJ approaches these difficulties in groundbreaking ways through revealing case study material and sophisticated theoretical expositions. The question of subjectivity is approached under four main headings; constructing the subject, sexuality and subjectivity, the limits of identity and the politics of the subject. Each contributor discusses the importance of people's subjectivity in directing their spatial behaviour, and tackles head-on the complexities of subjectivity across the human and social sciences.

The authors gathered in this collection consider the place of the subject anew, a subject that can be both fixed and detached, changeable and dependable. This book develops the debates concerning space and the subject of subject formation, seeking new spaces, new politics and new possibilities.
