Despite growing interest in the geographies of death, loss and remembrance, comparatively little geographical research has been devoted to either the historical and cultural practices of death, or to an adequate conceptualization of finitude. Responding to these absences, this paper argues for the importance of the notion of finitude within the history and philosophy of geographical thought. Situating finitude initially in the context of the work of Torsten Hägerstrand and Richard Hartshorne, the notion is argued to be both productive of a geographical ethics, and as epistemologically constitutive of phenomenological apprehensions of 'earth' and 'world'. In order to better grasp the sense and genealogy of finitude, the paper turns to the work of Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault and Georges Bataille. These authors are drawn upon precisely because their writings present powerful conceptual frameworks that demonstrate the intimate relations between spatiality, death and finitude. At the same time, their writings are critically interrogated in the light of perhaps the most important aspect of the conceptual history of finitude: the way in which it has been articulated as a site of anthropocentric distinction. The paper argues for a critical deconstruction of this anthropocentric basis to finitude; a deconstruction that raises a series of profound questions over the ethics, normativities and understandings of responsibility shaping contemporary ethical geographies of the human and non-human. In so doing, the paper demonstrates the geographical importance of the notion of finitude for a variety of arenas of debate that include: phenomenological understandings of spatiality; the biopolitical boundaries drawn between human and animal; and contemporary theorizations of corporeality, materiality and hospitality.

“…In a complementary way, Dikeç, Clark and Barnett (2009), concentrate on the study of Jacques Derrida's last writings, and on the interpretation that he makes of Emmanuel Levinas's work. They delve deep into the theoretical and normative structure of contemporary analysis of the theme of the Humanities and Social Sciences in the terms proposed by these scholars.…”

“…The proposal of Dikeç et al (2009), from their interpretation of the dialogue between Levinas and Derrida, is of a definition of the other, not based on issues of frontier, identity or belonging, as the modernity discourse would predict, but only on the idea of estrangement. The other is the one who comes from afar, regardless of his recognisable or pre-existing place in space.…”

“…Analysis of the ideas presented by these authors (Dikeç et al 2009, Baptista 2002, Augé, 1996 reveals a common perception of spatial-temporal occasions in the exercise of hospitality that can be understood as 'experiences of hospitality'. These are occasions where the other is welcomed not as the one who is different, but where the strangeness given by differentiation is considered an extension of the self -a disturbing extension to all, something new, which one doesn't know how to deal with, but which gives the opportunity to establish relations of mutual respect, materialised in the spatial-temporal sense of otherness.…”

“…1 The story of Khawli's self-immolation therefore is also a story of how we encounter, welcome, host and turn away strangers. It raises ethical questions of hospitality and our receptiveness to others, and the conditions we place upon the arrival or proximity of those unfamiliar to us (Ahmed, 2000;Derrida and Dufourmantelle, 2000;Dikeç et al, 2009). In providing my engagement with Khawli's story as an example of my own vulnerable encounter with feminist, postcolonial and queer research methods, I suggest that textual and methodological strategies that approach the translation and narration of accounts and stories about the lives of others, without permission or consent, are inherently vulnerable.…”

This article discusses the possibility for vulnerable writing within feminist methodological approaches to research. Drawing upon a project that involved difficulties and tensions in conducting transnational research, including the documenting and telling of a partial narrative of an individual who set herself on fire, the article discusses what it might mean to focus more explicitly on explicating and recognising vulnerability in writing. In providing examples from working with a situated, localised analysis that engages feminist, postcolonial and queer theoretical approaches to attend to the particular and everyday, I address some of the hesitations and uncertainties in undertaking research and producing knowledge, and concerns with forms of reflexive practice. At the heart of the discussion is the question of a vulnerable ethics, of how it is possible for feminist methods to represent the lives of others, especially when stories fail in the telling, both in providing adequate explanations and in the ways that trauma and suffering can remain incommunicable. Included in this are concerns as to how we as researchers are affected within the production of research. As a form of receptivity and wounding, the article argues for vulnerable writing that challenges feminist methods to remain open and receptive to what will always resist sense-making, while continuing to respond to the demand that we do justice to the lives of others.
