ABSTRACT

Writing intimacy into feminist geography is a multifaceted project. Included as part of the project are feminist geography researchers who write themselves into their research as part of their academic practice. The personal writing takes many forms, all with the intention of furthering a set of analytical concerns about power and the production of knowledge in the everyday. This chapter frames an understanding of muddlings as intimate research acts within an affirmative politics. It then presents reflections on some of the resonances one have found among the contributions. The readers note that as the contributors write intimacy into feminist geography, they take up specific academic practices that are themselves intimate research acts, thereby adding another layer of muddling to individual contributions and the collection as a whole. Intimacy in feminist geography is not just about social relations or configurations of power, nor is it just about rescaling the mundane as part of reconfiguring globalization.
