Thresholds, zones, margins: feminist and posthuman geographies of liminality. – This article aims to show that crucial pathways of feminist thought, such as current posthuman feminisms, have been and are characterized by liminal geographies. By exploring the geographies of life as zoé associated with the posthuman, I argue that feminist thought continues to change our geographical sense of connection with the world by virtue of liminal positionalities and the opening of margins. The opening of margins means, in my view, the conception of margin as a threshold. In this paper, liminal geographies are based on a geographic-semantic investigation of “threshold” and its connection with “zone”. A threshold/zone, conceived in this way, is a space of transition, which also entails a dimension of depth. Hence, the “deep” liminal geographies outlined here also address an idea of the Earth as depth, i.e., what the ancient Greeks called chthón. Rather, these liminal geographies start to explore, from a feminist perspective, the threshold between two ideas of the Earth, i.e., gê and chthón.
Out of place, out of the norm. Anti-militarist feminist practices in Sardinia. – The spatialities of violence are central in the international reflection on the ef-fect of militarist practices. Legitimate state violence through military functions is everywhere, and its relation with gender dynamics, reproduction of hierarchical relations, and dynamics of domination of individuals and communities are under debate. The contribution adopts critical military geographies and proposes an analysis of opposition practices to military presence in Sardinia by informal feminist groups. A separatist positioning supporting alternative imaginaries to militarist spatialities emerges.
