Drawing on material generated in research in an informal settlement in the Western Cape, and building on the ideas of Michel de Certeau (1988) and Shirley Ardener (1993), the paper explores how spaces are gendered. It shows that processes of objectification similar to those involved in map-making operate as punishment for those who violate gendered spatial conventions. The paper calls for an understanding of the contexts within which abstraction emerges, and a careful attention to local conventions. It demonstrates that representations generated using senses other than vision do not elide the temporal: smell- and sound-scapes illustrate the complex folding of time and routine into the everyday in ways that cartographic representations cannot. A phenomenological approach is beckoned
