Intro
Western Ideology- body & mind separate
Mind- rationality- superior body- earthly desires
Experience & emotions not just mental- experience body
Means- how - interact world - connects us each other
Important- move through spaces & places - body interprets places
2 yr old heavy door
other people respond to us - how we look
Interconnections
Connections between blocks & how link together
Trace concepts- perfomativity run through this block
Identity diff & exclusion
SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCE
words define identity:
bodily characteristics, gender, ethnicity, personality, interests, beliefs, shared ideas
is it easy talking about identity? why?
Identity
Identity affects everyone, orders society
Identity can organise society +ive or -ive ways
Other people can identify us - belonging group
Other people try put us in diff categories
similarity & difference key facet- how we relate to each other
Self and other
is it fixed
where does it come from?
Intersectionality- peeps have more than one identity
Society and space
Society influences space- space influences society
identity space and time specfic
Today nothing shocking woman flying plane
Rural - single women excluded - gender diff- diff times
Social relam (interactions- individuals) & spatial realm (landscapes public spaces) - interconnected
Individuals experience those processes diff ways
Essentialism assumption each person has essential essence born with- key characteristics
Being projected onto someone rather than self identifying.
Exclusion essentialist classification
Sometimes essentialist classification helpful
Box ticking neat quantifiable overview proportion peope each group
V useful see who experiencing inequalities & underpresented
If know particular groups underrepresented- potentially do something
V useful in combating particular areas pollution
Reveal clustering social groups neighbourhoods
Geographers interested these diff markers- look at how intersect and interact
Essentialist assumptions about identity LIMITATIONS- all people like this & this we dont want them here- Donald Trump us presedential election - BNP particular groups discriminated against

Take home messsage
Identities can be experienced at very individual and personal level
Identities can be seen to be created & experienced through relationships: SAME-DIFFERENT/SELF-OTHER and can also be collected & shared
on the one hand- essences may lead to discrimination, oppression, violence
Other hand- n order to organise resistence essences can be useful, INDIGENOUS LAND RIGHTS
CLOKE ET AL 2014
Questions of identity are politically and emotionally charged because they are simultaneously about the most personal issues of embodiment and subjectivity, but also they relate directly to processes of inclusion and exclusion where inequalities of power often result in discrimination and injustice’
Marginalisaton (Del Casino et al, 2011)
The social and spatial processes by which groups can identify and marginalise others is a core concern in geography.
The conceptual material lenses of landscape and exclusion are power-laiden tools which show how 'landscapes of exclusion', 'purified space' and enclosed spaces are produced.
Many scholars care about unequal power relations in society, geographies of care can be seen as attempts to mobilise understandings about the need for care (E.g. social welfare, healthcare, care of dependents)
Geographies of care challenge us to consider new years of being together in a relatively unequal world
Conradson highlights the ssues of prxomity and distance which raises ethical questions about how far and at what scale care can be conducted to deal with exclusion and the same other issue.
Resistance against assumptions towards identities
The goal of resistance and collective social action is progressive change at some level defined as people who have either come together by their free will or have been forced together as a collective due to oppressive power relations.
In the same vein, we also reject a naive "pathologisation of place" (Farmer 2003 ) that suggests places are somehow to blame for the ills they face.
Resistence movements embody our dreams and hopes and have to deal and cope with the difficult present.
Del Casino et al, 2011
