New Frontiers of Space Bodies and Gender

<p>This collection unravels the stereotypical images of gender and space and presents a series of new explorations into both 'lived' and 'imagined' spaces.<br> In <em>New Frontiers of Space Bodies and Gender</em> leading contemporary writers from across an eclectic mix of disciplines examine an exciting array of issues such as:<br> * Jamaican Ragga music and female performance<br> * Feminist anti-violence work<br> * Pregnant women's experience of shopping centres<br> * The fear of crime felt by women using urban greenspace<br> * Implications of technology in gendering identities<br> This book forges new parameters for debates of gender and space leaving behind the simple focus on women-as-victim in the public arena and remapping considerations of space which look beyond bricks and mortar.
