This paper explores the emergence of the subject in power through infant geographies. It focuses upon how subjection occurs in specific material spaces, and the role of a host of human and nonhuman others to the process of subjection. It also
analyses how diversities of kinship and nonkinship social relations might lead to other constellations of power in the subjection of infants. How the geographies of infants can be operationalised methodologically and epistemologically is also studied.
Basic theoretical problems in geography are discussed. The development of the subject is seen as a result of the division of labour among sciences. The subject's contextual dimension is made up of the different forces that influence the discipline

The spaces and subjects of a globalising economy : a situated exploration of method
The AA. identify a promising intellectual convergence around the theme of imaginaries. They develop an argument that global imaginaries involve both discourses and practices that are constitutives of new spaces and subjects. They demonstrate
that the method may inform a case study of the globalising retail-banking sector by revealing multiple spaces and subjects.
