The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Violence provides both a comprehensive and authoritative state-of-the-art overview of the latest research in the field of gender and violence. Each of the 23 specially commissioned chapters develops and summarises their key issue or debate including rape, stalking, online harassment, domestic abuse, FGM, trafficking and prostitution in relation to gender and violence. They study violence against women, but also look at male victims and perpetrators as well as gay, lesbian and transgender violence. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject area is highlighted, with authors spanning criminology, social policy, sociology, geography, health, media and law, alongside activists and members of statutory and third sector organisations. The diversity of perspectives all highlight that gendered violence is both an age-old and continuing social problem. By drawing together leading scholars this handbook provides an up-to-the-minute snapshot of current scholarship as well as signposting several fruitful avenues for future research. This book is both an invaluable resource for scholars and an indispensable teaching tool for use in the classroom and will be os interest to students, academics, social workers and other professionals working to end gender-based violence.

Intimacy, expressed through the feelings and sensations of the researcher, is bound up in the work of a feminist geographer. Tapping into this intimacy and including it in academic writing facilitates a grasping of the effects of power in particular places and initiates a discussion about how to access and tease out what constitutes the intimate both ethically and politically throughout the research process. This collection provides valuable reflections about intimacy in the research process - from encounters in the field, through data analysis, to the various pieces of written work. A global and heterogeneous pool of scholars and researchers introduce personal ways of writing intimacy into feminist geography. As authors expand existing conceptualizations of intimacy and include their own stories, chapters explore the methodological challenges of using intimacy in research as an approach, a topic and a site of interaction. The book is valuable reading for students and researchers of Geography, as well as anyone interested in the ethics and practicalities of feminist, critical and emotional research methodologies.

"Des civilisations précolombiennes à l'American Way of Life, les A mériques ont constitué un espace propice aux mythes et aux utopies. Terres de migrations, parfois forcées, elles sont constituées de multiples lieux de rencontres, de conflits, d'échanges culturels. Aujourd'hui les phénomènes d'innovation technologique, identitaire ou politique témoignent du fait que les Amériques, du Nord au Sud, demeurent un terreau de créativité. La créativité repose sur la capacité des acteurs à imaginer un autre cadre que celui dans lequel ils sont immergés. Aussi cet ouvrage s'attarde-t-il sur les discours et les pratiques individuels ou collectifs, discrets ou médiatisés, improvisés ou programmés qui participent à la fabrique des espaces et des sociétés. La diversité des regards et des situations analysées se traduit par la multi disciplinarité de ces pages. Sociologues, anthropologues, historiens, juristes, géographes, spécialistes de la littérature, du cinéma, du théâtre ou de la musique proposent des analyses ancrées dans la réalité ; leurs points de vue sont autant d'illustrations des processus créatifs. Il ne s'agissait pas là de chercher une improbable exhaustivité, mais bien plutôt de tenter de mettre en lumière la façon dont la force créative des individus et des groupes jalonne l'histoire et le devenir des nations américaines. C'est donc un kaléidoscope qui est proposé aux lecteurs, une diversité d'approches qui les font voyager de l'Alaska au Brésil."--Page 4 de la couverture

Des noms d'hommes sur les plaques à tous les coins de rues. Des loisirs qui profitent en priorité aux garçons. Des offres de transport insensibles aux spécificités de genre. Sans oublier la culture du harcèlement.La ville se décline surtout au masculin. Plusieurs études récentes le confirment. L'auteur décrit comment la cité renforce les inégalités entre les femmes et les hommes et en crée de nouvelles, et montre qu'il est possible de la rendre plus égalitaire.

How are social inequalities experienced, reproduced and challenged in local, global and transnational spaces? What role does the control of space play in distribution of crucial resources and forms of capital (housing, education, pleasure, leisure, social relationships)? The case studies in Geographies of Privilege demonstrate how power operates and is activated within local, national, and global networks. Twine and Gardener have put together a collection that analyzes how the centrality of spaces (domestic, institutional, leisure, educational) are central to the production, maintenance and transformation of inequalities. The collected readings show how power--in the form of economic, social, symbolic, and cultural capital--is employed and experienced. The volume's contributors take the reader to diverse sites, including brothels, blues clubs, dance clubs, elite schools, detention centers, advocacy organizations, and public sidewalks in Canada, Italy, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Mozambique, South Africa, and the United States. Geographies of Privilege is the perfect teaching tool for courses on social problems, race, class and gender in Geography, Sociology and Anthropology.

This is the first book to explore sexualities from a geographical perspective. 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.
