The nature of place and notions of space are of increasing centrality to cultural and social theory. Mapping Desire presents the rich and diverse world of contemporary sexuality, exploring how the heterosexual body has been appropriated and resisted on the individual, community and city scales. The geographies presented here range across Europe, America, Australasia, Africa, the Pacific and the imaginary, cutting across city and country and analysing the positions of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and heterosexuals. The contributors ring different interests and approaches to bear on theoretical and empirical material from a wide range of sources. The book is divided into four sections: cartographies/identities; sexualised spaces: global/local; sexualised spaces: local/global; sites of resistance. Each section is separately introduced. Beyond the bibliography, an annotated guide to further reading is also provided to help the reader map their own way through the literature. | Note de contenu : | Section 1: Cartographies/Identities (Julia Cream, Clare Hemmings, Glen Elder, Alison Murray, Lidna McDowell)
Section 2: Sexualised Spaces: Global/Local (Lynda Johnston and Gill Valentine, Sally Munt, Gregory Woods, Lawrence Knopp)
