ABSTRACT

This chapter offers some thoughts on the emotional and material geographies of 12 women who identify as large or fat and who live in Hamilton, New Zealand. It reviews the growing journals such as Health and Place, Social Science and Medicine, Environment and Planning A and Urban Studies are useful places to search for work on spatial dimensions of obesity or fatness. The chapter mentions information gathered using the autobiographical method explicitly because it has helped to inform author's understanding of these issues and his analysis of the interviews. It focuses on two main themes that emerged from the interviews: the first is emotional spaces; the second is material spaces. Policy makers, practitioners, activists and academics in a range of disciplines are addressing the issue of fat. Social, cultural, health and disabilities geographers are positioned to make contributions by considering the relationship between fat subjectivity, disability and spatiality.
