Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the issue of gender cannot live without space and land: that is to say, geography. The crisis of the individual in search of a social identity (gender, sexuality) and the sensual and existential announcements imply an awareness of space (moral, cognitive, social, urban) and a brittleness of territorial communities. Why a geography of gender? Because the space, like the body, represents a home for identities, as much as other practical things are located in space. The space precedes existence because we are always situated in it. It explores the relationship between the creation of identities, their evolution and their relation to space: the space can have an impact on the identities and gender relations, but also gender relations, their location in the space, their spatial practice develops as a result of the prioritization of gender identities.
