70 RETHINKING THE SOCIALaccessibility issues in disability studies in
geography between Golledge, 1993; 1996;
Gleeson, 1996; and Imrie, 1996). For example,
there is no doubt that accessibility maps con-
tribute to knowing both what makes a public
toilet inaccessible and where accessible toilets
are located. However, it might make more sense
to understand these maps in the context not only
of how the experience of mobility restrictions or
incontinence shape and are shaped by the layout
of toilets and their locations, but also of how the
subjectivities of women and men are constituted
by the experience of the accessibility of toilets
through multiple social relations of power. By
integrating real, deviant bodies into our under-
standings of geography, geographies of the body
can be transformed into embodied geographies,
ones that problematize the body complexly
while drawing on varied types of embodied
knowledge.NOTEWe would like to thank Karen Boyes for her assistance in
