Abstract

Abstract The argument of this paper is based on water, i.e. on the metaphor of something that does not have a form, but is forming. Attempting to write herself without representing herself, the author invites the reader to understand her/his self without having to define it. In order to do that the question ‘What IS a woman?’ must be put in question. Then the definite existence of the IS can be turned into a paradoxical (non‐)being like that of Utopia. The space of geography is a space of what IS. Could woman feel at home in such a framework? Or does she inhabit the paradoxical space of Utopia? What would a geography of the Utopia be like? What is the space of the woman?

女人是乌托邦。反对表征关系

摘要本文的论证以水为基础，即以没有形态但正在形成的事物为隐喻。作者试图写她自己而不代表她自己，作者邀请读者了解她/他的自我，而不必定义它。为了做到这一点，“女人是什么?”必须加以质疑。然后，IS的确定存在可以变成一个像乌托邦那样的矛盾(非)存在。地理空间是一个“是”的空间。在这样的框架里，女人能感到自在吗?或者她居住在乌托邦的矛盾空间中?乌托邦的地理会是什么样的?女人的空间是多少?

期刊介绍： The aim of Gender, Place and Culture is to provide a forum for debate in human geography and related disciplines on theoretically-informed research concerned with gender issues. It also seeks to highlight the significance of such research for feminism and women"s studies. The editors seek articles based on primary research that address: the particularities and intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, age, (dis)ability, sexuality, class, culture and place; feminist, anti-racist, critical and radical geographies of space, place, nature and the environment; feminist geographies of difference, resistance, marginality and/or spatial negotiation; and, critical methodology.
