“…Bodies, on the one hand, are crucial sites for the construction of cultural discourses and moral norms. To grasp a sense of this idea, one only needs to browse the rich collection of studies on the moral panics and ideological anxieties over sex workers in city streets (Hubbard, 2001, 2004), sexual minorities’ use of public space (Valentine, 1993; Andersson, 2012; Qian, 2017), publicly-veiled Muslim women in secularist contexts (Bowen, 2008; O’Neil, 2008; Gökarıksel, 2009, 2012), and, more recently, breastfeeding in public space (Lane, 2014; Grant, 2016). These various twists and contentions often do not lead to overt and coercive policing, but create ambivalent, elastic and contingent parameters of publicness that bodies nonetheless need to navigate, a process in which identities and subjectivities are relationally and fluidly constituted (Gökarıksel and Secor, 2012, 2015).…”
