More commonly, the inscription of the LGBTQ past in public space has explored memorialisation as a strategy for fostering LGBTQ acceptance (Orangias et al, 2018) and as a key terrain for conceptualising and contesting understandings of sexual identity (Dunn, 2011(Dunn, , 2014(Dunn, , 2016. 20.…”

This article draws on material from an ethnographic study in the gentrifying/gentrified London neighbourhood of Brixton to analyse the relationship between practices of LGBTQ territorialisation and the politics of neighbourhood change. It proceeds with two interrelated aims: to think critically about the ways in which LGBTQ claims to place-based belonging interact with racialised and classed ideologies of displacement and disciplining, and to explore memory’s significance in framing the relationship between LGBTQ people and place. ‘LGBTQ situated memory’ is thus introduced here as a concept that draws attention to the complex, contradictory and dynamic role that site-specific evocations of the past play in contemporary LGBTQ urban politics. By exploring three memory tropes that emerge in Brixton, I show that LGBTQ situated memory can be used to claim spatialised belonging, negotiate culpability for gentrification and disturb progress narratives. Ultimately this article both calls for, and works towards, an approach to sexual geography that foregrounds multiplicity: a multiplicity of LGBTQ situated histories and – as is reflected in the memories explored – a multiplicity of relationships between LGBTQ people and neighbourhood development.

O presente artigo objetiva discutir, a partir de reflexões sobre História, Memória e Cinema, a construção da imagem de Oscar Wilde realizada por dois filmes contemporâneos entre si, porém de gêneros distintos: a cinebiografia ‘Wilde’ (1997) e o drama musical ‘Velvet Goldmine’ (1998). Após debatermos sobre a popularidade dos filmes biográficos e o papel que pode ser assumido pelo historiador ao analisar este tipo de produção audiovisual, considerando os elementos intrínsecos Ã linguagem cinematográfica, desejamos responder a seguinte pergunta: quando comparada ao musical lançado em 1998, a cinebiografia ‘Wilde’ foi bem-sucedida na tentativa de revisitar a memória de Oscar Wilde e refletir sobre a importância deste escritor para a contemporaneidade?
