We live in increasingly violent times. Heralded by globalization, such aggression inextricably marks the urban landscape. Altered states of cartographic realities overlap onto a specifically conservative agenda, expressing itself onto women’s lives, bodies, and experiences. These landscapes also house, as a result of the recent wars, a resurgence of religious fundamentalism, and mass movements of individuals through exile and migration, which has led to a new kind of politics of violence.
