<br/><br/> Transnational Geographies of the Heart explores the spatialisation of intimacy in everyday life through an analysis of intimate subjectivities in transnational spaces.<br/><br/>Draws on ethnographic research with British migrants in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, during a phase of rapid globalisation and economic diversification in 2002–2004<br/>Highlights the negotiation of inter–personal relationships as enormously significant in relation to the dialectic of home and migration<br/>Includes four empirical chapters focused on the production of expatriate subjectivities, community and friendships, sex and romance, and families<br/>Demonstrates that a critical analysis of the geographies of intimacy might productively contribute to our understanding of the ways in which intimate subjectivities are embodied, emplaced, and co–produced across binaries of public/private and local/global space.
