“…Indeed, their relationships have been and continue to be characterized by tensions as well as alliances. There have been, for example, fairly contentious debates surrounding issues of patriarchy in queer geographies and homophobia in feminist geographies (Binnie 1997;Anonymous 2002;Bachetta 2002;Blum 2002;Elder 2002;Nast 2002aNast , 2002bPopadopoulos 2002;Valdes 2002;Sothern 2004). Most fundamentally, though, feminist and queer geographies differ with respect to what they foreground ontologically.…”

Despite their diverse and contested characters, queer and feminist geographies have much in common historically, theoretically, empirically, and politically. Following a brief discussion of their connections and divergences, I discuss the distinctive contributions of queer geographies and their potential, in continuing conversation and alliance with feminist geographies, to enliven and enrich geographical inquiry more broadly. I focus particularly on the potential of feminist-inspired and allied queer geographies to rethink a variety of spatial (and other) ontologies, including space, place, placelessness, movement, gender, homophobias and heterosexisms, generational cultures, and cultural politics.

“…Castells, ; Chauncey, ). While lesbians were present in these consolidated, territorial districts, gay villages are largely regarded as occupied and regulated principally by gay male interests, mainly white and middle class, although such representations are highly contested (Nast, ; Elder, ; Southen, ; Nash, ). Work examining lesbian urban space has focused on the particularity of spaces developed around lesbian feminist organizing in the 1970s (Ross, ), lesbian concentrations and neighbourhoods (Lauria and Knopp, ; Adler and Brenner, ; Valentine, 1993a; 1993b; 1993c; Rothenberg, ; Costello and Hodge, ; Nash, ; Podmore, 2001; 2006) and the specificities of lesbian experiences in distinct urban locations separate from gay villages (Browne, ; Johnston, ; Nash and Bain, ).…”

LGBT Neighbourhoods and ‘New Mobilities’: Towards Understanding Transformations in Sexual and Gendered Urban Landscapes

In this article we apply insights from ‘new mobilities’ approaches to understand the shifting sexual and gendered landscapes of major cities in the global North. The empirical context is the purported ‘demise’ of traditional gay villages in Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia, and the emergence of ‘LGBT neighbourhoods’ elsewhere in the inner city. We reinterpret the historical geography of twentieth century LGBT lives and the associated ‘rise and fall’ of gay enclaves through the lens of the ‘politics of mobility’. In this reading, it is apparent that multifaceted movements — migration, physical and social mobility, and motility — underpin the formation of gay enclaves and recent transformations in sexual and gendered landscapes. After the second world war, LGBT communities in the global North were embedded in specific historical geographies of mobility and we trace these in the Canadian and Australian contexts. The ‘great gay migration’ from the 1960s to the 1980s has been joined by new LGBT constellations of mobility in the 2000s, and these have imprinted upon the sexual and gendered landscapes of Toronto and Sydney.

“…The North American homonormativity debates are contentious and yet familiar (Brown , ; Elder ; Podmore ). Therefore, this paper focuses on the global implications, and particularly, the Latin American expressions of (homo)sexualized entrepreneurialism.…”

Buenos Aires Beyond (Homo)Sexualized Urban Entrepreneurialism: The Geographies of Queered Tango

This paper discusses (homo)sexualization as entrepreneurial strategy in Buenos Aires. City-marketing capitalizes on Buenos Aires' reputed passion and tolerance. Yet homonormative framings collide with politicized cultures of sexual dissidence. Cultural entrepreneurialism promotes profit-making sexual diversity, but social actors also construct their queerness outside, even in opposition to, market-driven urbanism. This paper argues that queered tango practices differ from those of mainstream LGBT circuits and coalesce with those who contest the genre's touristification, designed to trigger selective redevelopment. The paper first examines the explanatory purchase of cultural entrepreneurialism and homonormativity outside Euro-America. Empirical sections then show that the redefinition/re-territorialization of gayness aggravates sociospatial fragmentation, while governmental appropriations of tango legitimize exclusionary world-class-city politics. Nevertheless, the paper's first-person ethnography of queer tango uncovers territories of radical difference and trans-local solidarity networks. The paper ends by suggesting the need for further research into the conflictive intersections between urban globalization and globalizing queerness.
