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