Abstract This paper uses a feminist approach to geography to critique the theory of ‘open city’ proposed by Richard Sennett in his 2018 book, Building and Dwelling, which suggests a series of design interventions that when applied to cities can lead to an increase in sociability, complexity and tolerance of difference. Tehran is employed as a case study to examine whether open city theory is yet another Western formulation that is only applicable in democratic contexts. Considering Tehran’s top-down, oppressive, and authoritarian setting, it is seen here as a context in which the closedness and lack of active urban life in its streets and other public places are not only the result of architectural and planning schemes inherited from the ‘functional city’, as open city theory suggests, but instead are the result of rigid, top-down control mechanisms applied by the authorities. Therefore, based on feminist critical approaches such as meaning-in-context, and considering the discriminatory politics faced by women in their use of and access to public spaces in Iran, I challenge open city theory by suggesting that closedness, and its opposite, openness, are terms too charged with a Western sense of urbanisation. Instead, by examining the meaning, practicality and temporality of some of Sennett’s design interventions in Tehran, I suggest other potential ways that openness might occur; not through design, however, but among people and the solutions they find to overcome closedness in this city.

Our central purpose in this viewpoint is to briefly overview the existing literature on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and argue both how pivotal it is in underlining the experiences of local communities and do so from a gendered perspective. If the BRI is a global project in the making, as many argue, then it is important to appreciate how local people make claims, contest when their claims are ignored, refuted, or misrecognized, and through this understand how gendered notions of citizenship are disrupted and enacted. Therefore, we call for further research that genders the BRI to understand the interconnections along the axes between citizenship, claims and contestations to assess the spatial and temporal changes that a global project, such as the BRI, may bring about.

The collection of papers we have put together for this special themed section originally emerged from a desire to explore how the rapid and wholescale transformation of everyday spaces brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic might change, challenge and shift experiences and understandings of the gendered body. Since 2020, we have witnessed and experienced the dramatic alteration of everyday mobilities and a concurrent reconfiguration of spatial and embodied relations. The pandemic, and responses to it, has transformed the locations in which subjects routinely situate themselves, and the quotidian bodily practices they participate in, with immediate and lasting impact. Such a moment called for a revisiting of established theoretical and methodological paradigms in feminist geography – many of which developed from within the pages of this journal – which understand the relationship between space and the gendered body to be a mutually constitutive one. If the gendered body is understood as a processual assemblage shaped by the spaces within which it is formed, what do such radical spatial reconfigurations of embodied relations mean for gendered subjects? These papers, then, represent an opportunity to revisit and reflect upon core debates about gender, embodiment, and space in feminist geography, understanding the pandemic via a gendered lens.

AbstractMigrant domestic workers’ (MDWs) out-of-home flexibility and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic open up opportunities to examine the intrinsic reasons driving their decision-making in live-in/live-out patterns. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 18 female, Filipina MDWs in Macao, the study reveals that live-in MDWs sacrifice their subjectivity to save money, whereas live-out MDWs’ create an empowering space for privacy, romantic relationships and outgoing activities with friends. However, strict surveillance during the pandemic weakened MDWs’ capacities in their home-making journey. Additionally, digital surveillance by itself does not act as the primary stimulus for Filipina MDWs to dwell outside, due to their willingness to compromise with nanny cameras and the good relations built with the employers. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that MDWs’ home-making is dynamically embedded in relational and spatial tensions, providing valuable insights into the studies on domestic work, homing and surveillance.

AbstractIn light of the ongoing practice of non-Indigenous researchers conducting studies on Indigenous lands, new opportunities are needed for creative alternatives to fieldwork, along with an honest conversation about ethics, intent, and practices of place-based collaborative methods in Indigenous studies. In this paper, I explore the notion of story-listening as a creative methodological alternative to extractive methods for settler scholars in Indigenous communities. Through personal reflection, I argue that decolonizing research strategies should involve practices which minimize settler presence in, and demands on, Indigenous communities. A storied approach to research points to academic expectations of knowledge-production, which contribute to silencing Indigenous voices, while paradoxically setting Settler researchers as a privileged audience of Indigenous stories. Looking for told-but-unheard stories, I argue, is one way to find answers and guidance in research while respecting storytellers’ agency and challenging colonial origin stories. Methodological ideas for unheard stories are explored in three phases: hearing, listening, and sharing. All stages of story-listening involve care and respect for the storyteller.Keywords: Anti-colonialfeminist standpoint theoryIndigenous researchmethodologystorytelling AcknowledgementsI am grateful to Astrid Johanne Nyland for her helpful comments on the first version of this paper.

AbstractThis work aims to uncover the changing meaning of home by focusing on gender-based experiences of staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The findings show that the meaning of home is not straightforward and, depending on one’s gender-based experiences and diverse experiences of staying at home arise. In this work, Doreen Massey’s (Citation1994) joint conceptualisations of spatiality and identity for understanding space and place in general and home in particular not as an absolute but as a relational place, together with Iris Marion Young’s (Citation2005) conceptualisation of homemaking provide the theoretical context for linking the stay-at-home experiences of the participants with the meaning of home during the COVID-19 pandemic from a gender perspective. Furthermore, gender-based experiences of staying at home during the COVID-19 in Turkey are meaningful in the context of the discourses and social policy interventions of the existing government producing the social organization of space from an anti-gender and a conservative neo-liberal perspective. This work is based on online qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with 32 self-identified female participants. Interview data were interpreted using the three thematic categories of ‘home as a dwelling,’ ‘home as a burden,’ ‘home as a place for preservation. The findings support the existing research on the gender-specific organisation of care work and time usage and further contribute to the field by demonstrating that home was a gendered space sustained through mutual relations between gender practices and spatial practices before and during the pandemic.Keywords: Homehomemakinggenderpandemicwomen in Turkey AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by Bahçeşehir University through Grant BAP.2020-02.09.1.

摘要本研究旨在通过关注2019冠状病毒病大流行期间土耳其基于性别的居家经历，揭示家的意义变化。研究结果表明，家的意义并不是直截了当的，而且根据一个人基于性别的经历和不同的在家经历而出现。在这项工作中，Doreen Massey (Citation1994)对空间和身份的联合概念化，以理解一般的空间和地点，特别是家不是绝对的，而是一个关系的地方，与Iris Marion Young (Citation2005)对家政的概念化一起，为从性别角度将COVID-19大流行期间参与者的居家经历与家的意义联系起来提供了理论背景。此外，在土耳其新冠疫情期间，基于性别的居家经历在现政府的话语和社会政策干预背景下具有重要意义，现政府从反性别和保守的新自由主义角度产生了社会空间组织。这项工作是基于对32名自我认同的女性参与者进行的在线定性半结构化访谈。访谈数据用“家作为住所”、“家作为负担”、“家作为保存场所”这三个主题类别来解释。调查结果支持了针对性别的护理工作组织和时间使用的现有研究，并进一步促进了这一领域，因为它表明，在大流行之前和期间，家庭是一个性别空间，通过性别实践和空间实践之间的相互关系得以维持。关键词:土耳其家庭妇女性别流行病学致谢本工作由bahe大学通过Grant BAP.2020-02.09.1资助。作者特别感谢社会学学生Zuhal Akay, Uğurcan Akkoca， İrem Aydost, Ceren Çiçekdiken, k bra Nur Demir, Defne Tuzcuoğlu和Mehtap Öncü，他们合作进行和管理了一些采访。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。关于contributorPınar的说明Melis yelsalyi Parmaksız是bahe大学社会学系的教授。她于2009年获得莱顿大学土耳其研究博士学位，论文题为“土耳其的现代化和性别制度:土耳其政治领导人妻子的生活史”。她的主要研究领域是性别和妇女研究、土耳其现代化、记忆研究和方法论，包括女权主义方法论。她的著作包括《家之书》(Nika Yay，即将出版)、《 rkiye 'nin modernle mesinde Kadınlar》(İmge Yay)。， 2017)，公共和政治生活中的母亲(Demeter Press, 2017)， Neye Yarar Hatıralar?t rkiye 'de Bellek ve Siyaset Çalışmaları[回忆是为了什么?土耳其的记忆与政治研究[凤凰雅]。， 2013)和许多文章，包括“社会抗议的文化记忆:关于Gezi公园抗议的记忆文学”(记忆研究，2020)，“土耳其性别和妇女研究三十年”(妇女研究国际论坛，2019)，“Belleğin Mekânından Mekânın Belleğine Kavramsal Bir Tartışma”(İlef, 2019)和“家长制，现代化和土耳其性别制度”(Aspasia, 2016)。数据可用性声明数据可根据作者的要求提供。其他信息:fundingbahe ehir Üniversitesi;格兰特BAP.2020-02.09.1。
