These spatial references are not entirely figurative, but allude to our positioning within particular contexts, which both frame and are constructed by our texts. Thus, Probyn's dialogue inevitably raises geographical questions. Moreover, geography is not merely a passive, unnamed party through which Probyn's dialogue is conducted; it is not immune from or in any way ‘outside’ the situatedness its terminology is employed to articulate. In this context, the metaphorical maps Probyn uses to find her way between the differing terrains of feminism and postmodernism are far from neutral, truthful, transparent representations. In this paper an extension of Probyn's travels a...

It offers a distinctive way of thinking about the human mind and of responding to psychological distress. Psychoanalysis has travelled widely from its central European origins, and has evolved into a complex, multi-facetted and internally fractured body of knowledge situated at the interface between the human and natural sciences, and between clinical practice and academic theory. Notwithstanding critiques of its Eurocentric origins, psychoanalysis has been taken up in many different cultural contexts, perhaps most notably in Latin America but also in India, Japan and elsewhere. Its geography and spatiality have become topics for geographical study albeit primarily within the Anglophone literature (Cameron, 2006; Kingsbury, 2003)

During the last decade, the concept ‘urban’ has been the subject of extensive debate. Previously, cities had often been classified according to the industries located within their boundaries or hinterlands. This approach presupposed a direct connection between local productive activities and the sustenance of the local, urban population. However, the city is no longer the spatial unit within which productive activities are organised: in both developed and developing countries the organisation of industrial production has expanded to the regional, national or international scale. In other words, cities are embedded in, and sustained by, economic systems that extend far beyond their boundaries. But cities remain the places where the great majority of the populations of developed countries, and a growing proportion of the populations of developing countries, live. This observation led the neo-Marxist theorist Castells (1976, 1977, 1978) to advance the persuasive argument that it is more appropriate to consider the city as the locus, or spatial unit of the ‘reproduction of labour power’, than as the spatial unit of production. Subsequent work in urban studies has been strongly influenced by Castells’ approach: the notion that processes involved in the reproduction of labour power are the key to understanding the structure of, and activity within, urban areas underlies much recent research (see, for example, contributions to Harloe, 1981 and Harloe and Lebas, 1981). However, critiques of this approach are now emerging, to which this chapter aims to contribute (also see Klausner, 1986; Preteceille, 1986).
