Gendered Spaces and Intimate Citizenship

The Case of Breastfeeding

Lisa Smyth

QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY BELFAST, L.Smyth{at}qub.ac.uk

This article situates breastfeeding politics in the context of intimate citizenship, where women's capability to care in a range of social spaces is at stake. Drawing on the work of Lefebvre and Fenster, the article considers the extent to which recent breastfeeding promotion work by the Health Promotion Agency in Northern Ireland has sought to reconceive of social spaces in ways that have the potential to improve intimate citizenship for breastfeeding women.

Key Words: breastfeeding • capabilities • gender • health promotion • intimate citizenship • Northern Ireland • space
