“Unpacking the interrelationships between bodies, place and space, Gendering Place and Affect is a wonderfully imaginative, beautifully written and richly diverse collection of essays that take our understanding of ‘affect’ into imaginative new territories. Although drawn from a wide range of academic disciplines, the collection coheres, not only through the quality of scholarship and the dazzling originality of the ideas, but also around the fact that the contributions are clearly passion projects. Every chapter is a delight, bringing affective encounters to life in unexpected and thought-provoking ways.” Yvonne Jewkes, University of Bath
