Gender Geography is not a genre of Geography

La Géographie du genre n'est pas un genre de Géographie

Abstract

This article defends the idea that gender Geography is not a genre of Geography, aiming to contribute to the reflection on what might give geographical meaning to the geography-gender relationship. To this end, we have conducted an epistemological and ontological review of nature, body, and technique, considering them as important mediations in this relationship, which, dialectically, can reproduce as forms of spatial being-in-the-world. In this sense, this article poses the ethical-political challenge that future geographies consider gender issues as intrinsic to an anti-capitalist project, in which our being-in-the-world with others, that is spatialized in the multi-scale of bodies that connect as coexistences, allows us to exist as who we want to be.
