This keynote discusses territorial subjectivity as a tool to analyse the formation of subjects through territorialization, with a special focus on difference and intersectionality. Following Alicia Lindón who coined this notion in her study of Mexico City, I understand territorial subjectivities as a recurrent process in which territorial ideas, meanings and imaginaries as well as territorial practices provide a strong framework of reference for the becoming of subjects. To illustrate this, I will use case studies from Berlin and Buenos Aires. I conclude with a reflection on a more complex understanding of socio-territorial relations imbedded in the making of territory.
