Thinking about bodies in space: in" and out" of place thinking from the subjective body, feminist standpoint. It [the body] marks a boundary between self and other, both in a literal physiological sense but also in a social sense. A sensuous organ, the site of pleasure and pain around which social definitions of wellbeing, illness, happiness and health are constructed, it is our means for connection with, and experiencing of spaces (valentine 2001, 15) Bodies are (organic) material, thoughts, processes, fluid, symbolic, bounded. There is not one body" they are sexed, raced, aged, sexualized, sized and this matters. As gendered identities are constructed and performed this plays out on the body itself.
