About the Book

Drawing on affect theory and the key themes of attachment, disruption and belonging, this book examines the ways in which our placed surroundings – whether urban design, border management or organisations – shape and form experiences of gender. Bringing together key debates across the fields of sociology, geography and organisation studies, the book sets out new theoretical ground to examine and consolidate shared experiences of what it means to be in or out of place. Contributors explore how our gendered selves encounter place, and critically examine the way in which experiences of gender shape meanings and attachments, as well as how place produces gendered modes of identity, inclusion and belonging. Emphasizing the intertwined dynamics of affect and being affected, the book examines the gendering of place and the placing of gender.

Review :
“Unpacking the interrelationships between bodies, place and space, Gendering Place and Affect is a wonderfully imaginative, beautifully written and richly diverse collection of essays that take our understanding of ‘affect’ into imaginative new territories. Although drawn from a wide range of academic disciplines, the collection coheres, not only through the quality of scholarship and the dazzling originality of the ideas, but also around the fact that the contributions are clearly passion projects. Every chapter is a delight, bringing affective encounters to life in unexpected and thought-provoking ways.” Yvonne Jewkes, University of Bath “This work does a good job of weaving together and advancing scholarship across the three key themes, representing an impressive range of cultural contexts and thematic foci.” Kate Boyer, Cardiff University “This work does a good job of weaving together and advancing scholarship across the three key themes, representing an impressive range of cultural contexts and thematic foci.” Kate Boyer, Cardiff University
