This monograph aims to explore how sexual desire—understood as an expression of sexual agency—and broader concepts of sexuality, both as identities and practices, are linked to the notions of place, space, and location, as well as how these connections are represented in literary discourse. Our lived, embodied existence is inherently tied to specific spaces, which both shape and are shaped by our presence. Contemporary thought has moved away from an essentialist view of space and embraces a constructivist perspective, seeing space as socially produced through relationships within society (Lefebvre, 1991). Spatiality, therefore, is a social product, functioning simultaneously as both the medium and the outcome of social actions and relationships (Soja, 1989). Consequently, localities cannot be easily delineated but are better understood through the dynamic sets of social relations and processes that often involve conflict (Massey, 2007).
