She has written, lectured and practised individually and collectively on issues of gender, technology, (geo)politics and poetics of space. Doina Petrescu is senior lecturer in architecture at the University of Sheffield. The contributions from architects, artists, cultural theorists and activists from different generations and a wide range of practices and fields of research are international in scope and combine to challenge traditional disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Together they form a piece of feminine textuality, a volume which is not divided into thematic sections but takes its shape from a ‘mise en relation entre des voix-femmes’ in which each contribution negotiates its proximity to the others. The practices discussed in this book constitute a multitude of gestures, figures and actions: ‘urban curating’, ‘making space’, ‘taking place’, ‘urban cooking’, ‘building while being in it’, ‘drifting walls’, ‘mapping invisible privileges’, ‘confessional constructions’, ‘stray sods’. This book assesses these altering practices alongside the emergence of new social and political theories and within today’s urban and geopolitical contexts. ![]() With the growing importance of technology and communications, the effects of globalisation and the change in social demands, feminist praxis of space is diversifying and expanding. This collection of essays offers a fresh overview of contemporary feminist practices, with particular emphasis on the politics and poetics of space.
