Everywhere you go, and stay and come to know, enters the body and creates desire. The two authors of this paper employ poststructural theories of an embodied subject to write around desires/memories/affective responses to the place of each other: neoliberal Australia and post-communist Czech Republic. What does it mean to be homesick for a place which is not one's home? What does it mean to desire a place? We are inspired by the theoretical work of Foucault, Butler, Braidotti and Deleuze, as well as by novelists, such as Milan Kundera, who evoke affective responses to place in their writing.
