“公共”厕所对我们的社会和地理格局至关重要，在最近的公共和学术辩论中，使用这些厕所变得非常重要。基于对25篇日常日记的定性研究和对患有常见健康状况的肠易激综合征(IBS)患者的跟踪采访，本文从平凡流动的角度探讨了如何使用厕所。规划行程、绘制厕所地图、依赖商业厕所以及与旅行的交叉路口是这项研究得出的关键主题。通过IBS的镜头，我们看到了看似日常活动的导航是如何出现问题的，因为身体上存在不可预测的症状，这些症状与公共厕所的可用性、舒适性和知识交织在一起。这篇论文致力于论证日常流动性和厕所使用之间的相互依存关系。IBS提供了一种特别有用的洞察力，这种情况的常见但往往隐藏的性质表明了“公共”厕所使用的多样性，以及使用的不可预测性如何与患有这种情况的人相遇并体现出来。这篇论文致力于跨学科的厕所学术，致力于平凡和具体的地理研究，并将厕所集中为那些研究日常流动性的人的一个联系场所。
‘Public’ toilets are crucial to our social and geographical landscape, and access to them has become prominent in recent public and academic debates. Drawing on a qualitative study based on 25 daily diaries and follow-up interviews with people living with the common health condition irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this paper explores toilet access through the lens of mundane mobilities. Planning journeys, mapping toilets, a reliance on commercial toilets and intersections with travel were key themes emerging from the study. Through the lens of IBS, we see how navigations of seemingly everyday mobilities are problematised through the bodily precarity of unpredictable symptoms intertwined with the availability, comfort and knowledge of ‘public’ toilets. This paper works at demonstrating the interdependency between everyday mobilities and toilet access. IBS offers a particularly useful insight in which the common but often hidden nature of the condition demonstrates the multiplicities of ‘public’ toilet access and how the unpredictability of access meets with, and is embodied, by those with the condition. This paper contributes to interdisciplinary toilet scholarship by engaging in mundane and embodied geographies and centralises toilets as a site of connection for those studying everyday mobilities.
