Abstract Drawing on qualitative interviews with female expeditioners in the Australian Antarctic Program, this article examines the additional labour involved in managing menstruation during remote Antarctic fieldwork. Unlike expeditioners working on a research station, fieldworkers rarely have consistent access to private toileting facilities or dedicated times/spaces to deal with their bodily excretions. However, being able to easily access toileting facilities can significantly impact how people who menstruate experience fieldwork. This is an overlooked but crucial corporeal challenge of working in Antarctica. Findings reveal that in male-dominated spaces, expeditioners must go to great lengths to make their menstruation invisible. A primary way that women do this is through menstrual suppression technologies. When these are not available or not preferred, women negotiate trying to keep their menstruation and gynaecological health issues hidden but often do so in field settings where there is little infrastructure or support. I argue that the lack of infrastructure to support menstrual health in the field is a form of sexism that maintains women’s lower status in polar field environments. To conclude, I provide practical guidance for National Antarctic Programs to support people who menstruate.

The book Mobile Girls Koottam: Working Women Speak begins with the following words – ‘i invite you to listen’. This is a very powerful invitation for anyone interested in women’s stories and women’s voices. The book presents us with an ethnography that challenges our perceptions of how we receive stories of working-class women in their own voices. The book is authored by Madhumita Dutta and illustrated by dancer and cartoonist, Madhushree.

Abstract U.S. support for border enforcement in Mexico has been ongoing for decades, but in 2014, after the arrival of unprecedented numbers of Central American minors and families to the U.S., even greater pressure was placed on Mexico to seal its border with Guatemala. This paper explores the resulting tensions between Mexican border enforcement policies outlined under Programa Frontera Sur, intended to tighten security and surveillance in the south of the country, and Mexico’s 2011 Migration Law, intended to facilitate the protection of migrants’ rights. Through ethnographic fieldwork, I examine how the borders of the Mexican state are maintained through the (il)legibility of administrative rules and procedures in the context of conflicting immigration agendas. Specifically, this paper explores the precarious paths to legal protection via regularización de estancia por razones humanitarias, a temporary legal status granted to victims of grave crimes. It traces applicants’ circuitous trajectories through bureaucratic processes and evolving enforcement landscapes, noting the costs and contingencies involved in making claims ‘legitimate’ and legible in the eyes of the state. This paper also brings attention to the positioning of migrant shelters at the margins of state inclusion, where formal and informal mobilities often intersect. As a feminist geopolitical study of state bordering practices, this research is useful in understanding lived impacts and responses to more recent strategies of administrative border enforcement, including the MPP and Title 42 programs.
美国对墨西哥边境执法的支持已经持续了几十年,但在2014年,在前所未有的中美洲未成年人和家庭抵达美国之后,墨西哥面临更大的压力,要求封锁与危地马拉的边界。本文探讨了墨西哥边境执法政策(旨在加强该国南部的安全和监督)与墨西哥2011年移民法(旨在促进保护移民权利)之间的紧张关系。通过人种学田野调查,我研究了墨西哥国家的边界是如何通过行政规则和程序的(il)易读性在相互冲突的移民议程的背景下维持的。具体而言,本文探讨了通过regularización de estancia por razones人道主义(给予严重犯罪受害者的临时法律地位)寻求法律保护的不稳定途径。它追溯了申请人在官僚程序和不断演变的执法环境中的迂回轨迹,指出了在国家眼中使索赔“合法”和清晰所涉及的成本和突发事件。本文还关注了移民庇护所在国家包容边缘的定位,在那里,正式和非正式的流动经常相交。作为对州边界实践的女权主义地缘政治研究,本研究有助于理解对最近的行政边境执法策略的生活影响和反应,包括MPP和Title 42计划。

Abstract In Senegal, migration can both be a stigma and a privilege; it can increase social standing but also lead to stigmatization and suffering following aborted migration projects. This article uses performativity as an analytical lens to explore how Senegalese male migrants narrate and perform their return to Senegal in reaction to diverse social expectations. It focuses on men who were deported from Europe or who lived there under threat of deportation before returning voluntarily. Despite appeals by migration scholars to go beyond a limited discourse of victimhood, few studies explore returnees’ agency and even fewer the agency of deportees. Based on almost a year of ethnographic fieldwork in urban Senegal, we examine multiple simultaneous performances and narrations by returnee men. Despite the numerous difficulties they experience, returnees narrate success post-return by engaging with hegemonic masculine discourses of being a provider, protector and devout Muslim. But ambiguity about return is common, including silencing of suffering in public and private spaces. Performing return as an agentic act, regardless of the duration of return or whether it was voluntary, can enable returnees to conceive of belonging to Senegalese society. By recognizing returnees’ agentic performativity, this article moves beyond common categorizations of deportees as victims or criminals.

Abstract The gang-rape case of Delhi in December 2012, usually referred to as Nirbhaya to the very recent Hathras case of September 2020, led to mass protests and demonstrations. However, reading it through the feminist intersectional lens clearly indicates the difference in public response, political stance, and legal progression. There was a protracted struggle, indeed, but sexual violence in Delhi subsequently led to the change in legal reforms, aligning itself towards rendering justice to the victim, but in the case of Hathras, it’s treading upon blurred pathways of judicial proceedings. This article evaluates the altered textures of protest and the trajectory of feminist intervention when it intersects with the spectrum of caste, class, space, and gender. Therefore, even beyond the social and economic position, the location plays a crucial role in deciphering the discourse of rape or sexual violence. Through the intersectional reading of these two case studies, this article evaluates the discourse of sexual violence in both urban and rural India and the politics of justice meted out to them.

Abstract Prior research has concentrated on border guards and the politics of bodies, but less attention has been made to the interaction between embodied differentials and women’s varied household income classes and its consequent effect, such as a dichotomy in gendered control over women’s mobility. This study established such a perspective by following the continuation of the application of the body as an analytical scale in scholarships of feminist political geography and taking the heterogeneous women’s voices into account. The analysis shed light on the gendered forms of domination implied by the entangled protection and control paradigms in framing the practices of patrolling the border. Thus, in this article, the author unpacked how incorporating the entwined paradigms of protection and control into the framing of border guarding manifests differential gendered implications, ranging from fear of making mobility-related decisions to immobilisation patterns. It connects these practices to gendered processes of othering, highlighting the interaction between embodied differentials and the various economic positions of women and thus finds a dichotomy in gendered control over mobility in the name of border protection under the guise of border patrolling practices.

Gender and Politics in Post-Reform Indonesia: Women Leaders within Local Oligarchy Networks examines the status of women in post-reform local politics, the influence of local oligarchy networks, and the performance of women leaders in promoting local democracy and gender equality. The book is an edited collection focusing on the emergence of two female leaders, Airin Rachmi Diany as Mayor of South Tangerang and Anna Sophanah as Regent of Indramayu. First, the book discusses the social, political, economic, and historical conditions that have facilitated the emergence of two female political figures in family politics at the local level. Second, it discusses and compares the performance of Airin Rachmi Diany and Anna Sophanah as the two female figures in family ties to encourage local democracy and ‘practical’ gender interests. In the text, ‘practical’ gender interests are related to the different practical needs of women to fulfil their gendered roles, such as a wife, mother, and so on. For example, the need for better health facilities for childbirth and the need for better education for women in schools (68). The book consists of seven chapters, beginning with an introduction
