Lively and Unstable Implosions
This article is a collaborative piece, written between a group of geographers and artists. Together, we explore an “ad-hoc archive” of extraordinary and everyday objects associated with reproduction, broadly conceived. Some objects are directly or indirectly aimed at enhancing reproductive health or well-being, others at arresting or enhancing fertility, others still at expanding notions of reproduction beyond the genetic or biological. Objects a…
The afterlife of birth control policies in Mexico
We analyze the normalization of tubal ligation in Mexico by examining both the institutional perspective of health professionals and the experiences of racialized mestiza women who opt for sterilization. Using qualitative methods, we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 low-income mestiza women who underwent sterilization, and six health professionals. Additionally, we held three art-based workshops and conducted observation in a state-subsidize…
Geographies of reproductive justice
Contemporary struggles for reproductive rights across the globe once more show how politics shape intimate reproductive experiences. The intersectional feminist concept of reproductive justice has become an important political and theoretical agenda to address power relations in the realm of reproductive rights. We argue that the justice-based approach of the concept can serve as an umbrella for debates taking place in diverse subdisciplinary fie…
Intimate liminality in Spain's berry industry
Spain's berry industry relies on the agricultural labour of both local and seasonal migrant workers. A significant part of this migrant workforce comprises Moroccan mothers who leave their children with relatives in order to perform this wage labour. The bilateral recruitment regime favours the employment of Moroccan women with children for this labour to ensure that workers return home at the end of the harvesting season. Drawing on multi‐site e…
Reproductive geopolitics
Building on work in feminist geopolitics, we discuss how the governance of in/fertility affects the value assigned to different bodies and the question whose bodies and lives are considered as worthy of reproducing in Mexico. To reveal the geopolitical entanglements of past and present forms of reproductive governance, we investigate the transnational connections of Mexico’s fertility network with Spain and the United States of America. We juxtap…
Intimate technologies
Technologies are at the heart of geographic analysis. More-than-human geographies, actor-network theory, and new materialism have all called for attending to technological infrastructures and artefacts. This attention is directed mainly towards large-scale technologies. What often escapes geographies of technoscience are small, mundane, and unspectacular technologies. Bringing into conversation work from feminist technoscience and feminist geogra…
Solidarity, the national flag, and embodied differences
Intimate Lives in the Global Bioeconomy
Research on cross-border reproductive care has shown how the geographical, historical, economic and political contexts in which egg donation takes place shape this transnational practice. As many women offer their oocytes due to their precarious conditions, they become seen as 'bioavailable bodies'. The presence of these bioavailable bodies is key to the emergence of global egg donation hotspots. We argue that feminist research needs to go beyond…
Who Makes Geographical Knowledge? The Gender of Geography’s Gatekeepers
Building on the insight that all knowledge is situated and embodied, we analyze the gender of gatekeepers in the production of geographical knowledge in the current Anglophone publication landscape. Our results show that the share of women gatekeepers throughout the three selected sites—handbooks, progress reports, as well as editors and editorial boards of twenty-two geography journals—is consistently between 36 and 42 percent. These averages, h…
From Margin to Center? Theoretische Aufbrüche in der Geographie seit Kiel 1969
Die Geographie soll sowohl an gesellschaftlicher Relevanz als auch an theoretischer Tiefe gewinnen – so die Forderungen in Kiel 1969. 50 Jahre nach Kiel ist die Bedeutung des Faches unumstritten. Klimastreik, Grenzzäune, Brexit – alle diese aktuellen Ereignisse betreffen Kernthemen der Geographie wie Klimawandel, Migration und Geopolitik. Aber wer definiert, was gesellschaftlich relevant und damit im Zentrum der Geographie stehen soll? In einem i…
Celebrating 30 years of feminist geographies in the German-speaking countries Germany, Switzerland* and Austria
In this paper, we present the development of feminist geographies in the three German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Since the emergence of feminist approaches in German-speaking geography in the 1980s, feminist geographers situated in these countries have worked closely together within the context of the Working Group “Geography and Gender”. The overview highlights cornerstones of the development of feminist geographies in …
Affectual intensities
This paper advances current debates about feminist methodologies in geography by attending to affectual intensities and their resonance. Affectual intensities emerge through encounters between different bodies and objects, and are deeply power‐laden, enabling, disabling, transforming, and restricting geographic research. We attend to three moments of resonance that surfaced in Elisabeth Militz's field research on nationalism in Azerbaijan. In eac…
The baby business booms
This paper explores how reproductive life has changed through the development, transnational spread, and commercialization of assisted reproductive technologies (in vitro fertilization, gamete donation, and surrogacy). (Economic) geography has been slow to take up the vibrant debates in anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and other neighboring disciplines on assisted reproductive technologies and their effects on society, kinship, and reprod…

Assemblage thinking and actor-network theory
This paper shows that assemblage thinking and actor-network theory (ANT) have much more to gain from each other than debate has so far conceded. Exploring the conjunctions and disjunctions between the two approaches, it proposes three cross-fertilisations that have implications for understanding three key processes in our socio-material world: stabilisation, change and affect. First, the conceptual vocabulary of ANT can enrich assemblage thinking…

Visual ethnography for performative geographies
While there has been intense discussion of the theories of performativity in human geography, little has been said about the methodological implications of the performative turn. This paper suggests visual ethnography as a suitable methodology for performative geographies, since it focuses explicitly on the embodied and non-textual performances that bring both subjectivities and spatialities into being. In order to be able to connect the observed…

Engaging with feminist postcolonial concerns through participatory action research and intersectionality
This paper deals with the challenges of doing fieldwork as a Western researcher in the "Global South" after the (feminist) postcolonial turn. Debates within developmental geography have addressed the politics of fieldwork, questions of positionality and collaborative, participatory ways to produce knowledge. We intend to enter this discussion to find constructive ways of conducting feminist postcolonial research. Drawing on our own experiences as…
