Paper Description
The objective of this paper is to provide a forum for studying ‘difference’ in relation to gender, place and culture. To understand ‘difference’ we will draw on postmodernist, poststructuralist, antiracist, postcolonial, feminist, queer, Marxist and socialist perspectives. The aim is to examine various ways of challenging, dismantling, and transforming systems and structures of exploitation, oppression and imperialism. Cultural geographers examine issues of discourse, power, justice, the body, difference, hybridity, transnationalism, actor networks, resistance, transgression, performance and representation.
The title of this paper, ‘Gender, Place and Culture’, was ‘borrowed’ from a journal that carries the same name. This journal began publishing in 1994. A full set is held in the University of Waikato Library. It is also available online. The journal is an excellent resource for students enrolled in this paper.
