to generate creative ways of thinking about
spaces and subjectivities.NOTE1 The first person plural is an ambiguous form of
address. We refuse the self-alienation of the third
person when we are numbered among those to whom
we refer. But ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ provoke questions
about who is included and excluded. We do not claim
to speak for humanity in general; we do not presume
to speak for our readers. Rather we invite you to iden-
tify yourself in relation to our voice, whether with,
against or elsewhere. Through this text, but beyond
our awareness, we enter into the production of our own
and other subject positions (Bondi, 1997; Card, 1991).REFERENCESAhmed, S. (1998) Differences that Matter: Feminist
