Embodied Urban Cartographies: Women’s Daily Trajectories on Public Transportation in Guadalajara, Mexico

Abstract

In my chapter I discuss the process of creating comprehensive embodied urban cartographies of women’s daily trajectories to work by public transportation in Guadalajara, Mexico. I argue that mapping methods can be used as a feminist tool to reveal the power structures that shape women’s urban experience and to analyse how those assemblages are lived from an embodied and intersectional perspective. I underline the relevance of such a perspective showing how feminist cartographies help to re-draw more equitable urban geographies.
