Abstract

Spatiality has often been neglected in qualitative psychological research. This article explores the methodological implications of engaging spatiality when exploring subjectivities, proposing ethical-political reflexivity about the 'where' and 'how' of research. Drawing on concepts such as body-territory, sentipensar, critical spatiality, and more-than-human relations, we advocate for an understanding of space as embodied, affective, and socioecological. We illustrate this through a case study of the 2008 Chait & eacute;n volcanic eruption in Chile, which disrupted territorial attachments and livelihoods. Using walking interviews, we show how attention to spatiality enriched the research process in three key areas: the data produced, the conditions of listening, and the conditions of production. Our findings highlight the performative and political dimensions of space, underscoring the value of co-occupying research spaces. By approaching spatiality as a relational and dynamic network, this study illuminates marginalised experiences and challenges dominant narratives, offering deeper insights into subjectivities and their socio-spatial entanglements.
