Abstract
“Contact Zones and Outer Space Environments: A Feminist Archaeological Analysis of Space Habitats” draws on acculturation theories from historical archaeology to reconceptualize the space habitat as a “contact zone” between masculine and feminine cultures. The chapter first considers how space habitats changed from family dwellings in early imaginings to a reality of male-only spaces in which women had to battle for a place. An analysis of commentaries about women in spacecraft reveals that physical distance between male and female bodies has been seen as the key to regulating sexuality and social relations in outer space.
