Defining desire generally remains quite a cumbersome task due to the multiplicity and versatility of its conceptual nuances. Although queer theory has debunked many of the fundamental assumptions underlying continuities between categories such as sex, gender, sexual practice and desire as discursive-linguistic constructs, material dimensions concerning desire have yet to be adequately investigated. This paper portrays an autoethnographic journey through landscapes of desire and links personal experience to several approaches that the authors came across in the course of their research. Incorporating creative strategies of knowledge production into a queer-feminist reading of new materialisms can widen perceptions of desire and offer valuable insights into how and where desire might occur.
