內容簡介

Feminist approaches within the social sciences have expanded enormously since the 1960s. In addition, in recent years, geographic perspectives have become increasingly significant as feminist recognition of the differences between women, their diverse experiences in different parts of the world and the importance of location in the social construction of knowledge has placed varied geographies at the centre of contemporary feminist and postmodern debates.

Gender, Identity and Place is an accessible and clearly written introduction to the wide field of issues that have been addressed by geographers and feminist scholars. It combines the careful definition and discussion of key concepts and theoretical approaches with a wealth of empirical detail from a wide-ranging selection of case studies and other empirical research. It is organized on the basis of spatial scale, examining the relationships between gender and place from the body to the nation, although the links between different spatial scales are also emphasized. The conceptual division and spatial separation between the public and private spheres and their association with men and women respectively has been a crucial part of the social construction of gendered differences and its establishment, maintenance and reshaping from industrial urbanization to the end of the millennium is a central linking theme in the eight substantive chapters. The book concludes with an assessment of the possibilities of doing feminist research.

It will be essential reading for students in geography, feminist theory, women's studies, anthropology and sociology.

自1960年代以來，社會科學領域的女權主義方法得到了極大的發展。此外，近年來，隨着女權主義者認識到婦女之間的差異，她們在世界不同地區的不同經歷以及地理位置在知識社會建設中的重要性，各種地理因素已成為人們關注的中心，地理觀點變得越來越重要。當代女性主義和後現代主義的辯論。

性別，身份和地方是對地理學家和女權主義者學者已解決的廣泛問題的易於訪問且文字明確的介紹。它結合了案例研究和其他實證研究的廣泛選擇，結合了對關鍵概念和理論方法的仔細定義和討論以及大量實證細節。它是在空間尺度的基礎上組織的，研究了從身體到國家的性別與地點之間的關係，儘管也強調了不同空間尺度之間的聯繫。公共領域和私人領域之間的概念劃分和空間分離，以及它們與男女之間的聯繫，一直是社會性別差異及其建立的關鍵部分，在八個實質性章節中，維護和重塑從工業城市化到千禧年末是一箇中心鏈接主題。該書最後對進行女權主義研究的可能性進行了評估。

對於地理，女權主義理論，女性研究，人類學和社會學的學生來説，這將是必不可少的閲讀材料。
