Abstract
How do places shape and interact with subjectivity? By exploring how a change of
location had implications for the way the effects of imperialism were registered, this
paper shows how imperialism shaped subjectivity both at home and abroad. It takes
the travels and mountain climbing of Mary Kingsley and Halford Mackinder as case
studies for a consideration of gender as an effect and as a part of these processes.
