Spaces of Pride: A Visual Ethnography of Gay Pride Parades in Italy and the United Kingdom

Homonationalism in Europe? A Quantitative Comparison of the Values of Europeans

“…Some works are based on audiovisual analysis (Cherry, 2018;Szulc & Smets, 2015;Nebeling Petersen & Myong, 2015;MacCann, 2015), others on analysis of the press (Jungar & Peltonen, 2017;Travers & Shearman, 2017;Serykh, 2017). Some deal with pride parades and the LGBTQ+ and/or supporters' communities (Kehl, 2018;Yildiz, 2017;Szulc, 2016;Ammaturo, 2016;Rexhepi, 2016;Sadurní Balcells & Pujol Tarrés, 2015;Hubbard & Wilkinson, 2015;Kulpa, 2014a;Bracke, 2012;Jirvraj & de Jong, 2011) and urban spaces (Mepschen, 2016;Hubbard & Wilkinson, 2015).…”

“…In the review of the articles the use of qualitative methodology was striking: mainly all the articles have been based on discourse and/or narrative (Kehl, 2018;Raboin, 2017;Jungar & Peltonen, 2017;Serykh, 2017;Nebeling Petersen & Myong, 2015;Sadurní Balcells & Pujol Tarrés, 2015;Bury, 2015;Kahlina, 2015;Kulpa, 2014a;Kulpa 2014b; Jirvraj & de Jong, 2011) or content analysis (Travers & Shearman, 2017) and ethnographies (Mepschen, 2016;Ammaturo, 2016). Once we acknowledged the results, we will broaden the methodological tools used in analyzing homonationalism, promoting methodological pluralism (Domínguez Amorós & Simó Solsona, 2003) in this field.…”

Reconceptualizing Social Movements and Power: Towards a Social Ecological Approach

“…Yet, that collective identity (non-class-based participation) remains a popular grounds for mobilization (Dean and Aune 2015;Paternotte 2015) compels a deliberation on the role of protest gathering spaces within contemporary movements. During gay pride parades, for instance, the encounter between the city and particular public displays of sexualities produced tensions that reshaped participants' boundaries of emotions and sexual identities (Ahmed 2004:165;Ammaturo 2015;Britt and Heise 2000:253-254;Jasper 1998:404;Valentine 1993). It follows from this example that the subjection of identities to the influence of their protest spaces illustrates two significant gaps in the literature concerning the spatial dimension of protests: first, existing social movement theories are largely deductive, defining protests as highly abstracted functions of society, and eschewing bottom-up approaches to analyzing how protest spaces themselves shape the interactions and strategies within them.…”

Reconceptualizing Online Free Spaces: A Case Study of the Sunflower Movement

“…Yet, collective identity remains a popular grounds for mobilization compels a deliberation on the role of protest gathering spaces within contemporary movements. According to Ammaturo (2015), for instance, participants' emotions and sexual identities are shaped by encounters with the city and with public displays of sexualities in gay pride parades. The subjection of identities to the influence of their protest spaces illustrates a gap in studies of protests concerning their spatial dimension: existing social movement theories present deductive approaches (Barassi, 2013) that reduce protests to functions of a highly abstracted society, and essentially neglect analysis of how protest spaces themselves shape the interactions and strategies within them (Au, 2016a) In a similar vein, the boundaries of "free spaces" (Evans and Boyte, 1986), or institutions located outside the control of those in power (Morris, 1984;Scott, 1990) to allow for the creation of new, insurgent identities, are liberalized by the rise of new communication technologies.…”
