Getting the Hell Over Manhattan
When reading Hugh Ryan's When Brooklyn Was Queer, the reader may feel certain (as I did) that Ryan is perched next to you on a stool at a gay bar, whispering stories of queer trysts, losses, and triumphs in your ear as you ironically down Manhattans. Ryan captivatingly weaves together a vibrant history of queer waterfronts, “peg houses,” communes, and scandals, which is a history also erased by highways, violence, pathologization, and morality co…
A Queer New York
The first lesbian and queer historical geography of New York City Over the past few decades, rapid gentrification in New York City has led to the disappearance of many lesbian and queer spaces, displacing some of the most marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community. In A Queer New York , Jen Jack Gieseking highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important, thriving…
Mapping lesbian and queer lines of desire
The path to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) liberation has been narrated through a claim to long-term, propertied territory in the form of urban neighborhoods and bars. However, lesbians and queers fail to retain these spaces over generations, often due to their lesser political and economic power. What then is the lesbian-queer production of urban space in their own words? Drawing on interviews with and archival research a…
NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project
Launched in 2015, the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project maps and records present and possible future lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (Lgbt) historic sites in New York City. Using the tag line “Making an Invisible History Visible,” the project draws on the narrative that most Lgbt historic sites have long been “unknown or underappreciated.” As of late 2018, the Web site already includes over two hundred historic sites, each with a brief scho…
Start Here. We Exist
What are the politics of accounting for and sharing LGBTQ history in the United States with broader publics? The US National Park Service released LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer History in 2016, designed to serve as a foundation for identifying, evaluating, and preserving LGBTQ history and historic sites across the country. In a roundtable conversation in 2018, six authors of the theme study from va…
Queer Internet studies recommended reading list
The list below is a selection of queer Internet studies (QIS) literature that, far from a comprehensive list, as a jumping off point for those looking to undertake research on the Internet from a queer perspective, or who are looking to do research with queer communities online. We offer this list as a complement and extension to the proceedings and articles in order to show the breadth and depth of QIS at work
What's queer about Internet studies now
Queerness owes much to the past, a past we can see playing out again and again in physical and online spaces. More than seeing the Internet as a tool for LGBTQ activism alone, our collective dialogue asks: what’s queer about the Internet? The interventions by queer theory and LGBTQ studies into Internet studies begets a new turn of phrase and a renewed queer studies in a terrain that queers have always made their own, i.e., online: Queer Internet…
A conversation
The following is a panel discussion from QIS2 that in which five experts shared their research on queer media and technology. The panellists discuss a wide range of topics including trans people and surveillance online; trans identity and social media; online communities and feminist politics; the LGBT games archive; and digital vigilantism and sex trafficking. Uniting these diverse themes were a shared attention to the politics of queer visibili…
Where Are We? The Method of Mapping with GIS in Digital Humanities
Where Are We? The Method of Mapping with GIS in Digital Humanities Jen Jack Gieseking (bio) For decades, the "spatial turn" has shaped and been shaped by the thinking of scholars and students in American studies in regard to the production, meaning, and experience of space and place. The "digital turn" soon followed and intertwined with the previous twist: "The recent embrace of GIS and other digital tools by the traditionally technology-averse d…
Geographical Imagination
Geographers attach multiple definitions to the term “geographical imagination,” many of which can be traced back to the work of Hugh Prince, David Harvey, and Derek Gregory. The term is most often used in relation to understandings of the landscape, the power of maps, studies of identity and oppression, and/or meanings of large territories as they relate to everyday lives such as the city, nature, or the nation‐state. At its best, the geographica…
Messing with the attractiveness algorithm
Responding to the collection of articles, ‘Queering Code/Space,’ this article discusses how algorithms affect the production of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) spaces, namely online dating sites. The set of articles is well timed: lesbian bars have closed en masse across the US and many gay male bars have followed suit so that online spaces fill – or perhaps make – a gap in the social production of LGBTQ spaces. I dr…
Safe space
Christina B. Hanhardt writes in Safe Space: Gay Neighborhood History and the Politics of Violence that one cannot ‘fully understand changing spatial development patterns apart from LGBT politics’ (
There goes the gayborhood
Nearly a decade ago, The New York Times ran the article ‘Gay Enclaves Face Prospect of Being Passe’ (2007) and debates about the demise, rise, and sprawl of LGBTQ neighborhoods have been ongoing wi
Crossing over into neighbourhoods of the body
The geopolitical focus on territory as a fixed and cohesive nation‐state simultaneously conceals the ways territories form and are operationalised at other scales. At the same time, the fleeting ability of minority bodies to make and retain cohesive, property‐owned territories overlooks the limited agency that marginalised groups possess while they continually reproduce social territories as they navigate their everyday lives. Lesbians, gay, bise…
Useful In/stability
Queer theory's embrace of instability paints stabilizing practices as normalizing and unjust. Rather than upholding a stance of opposition by championing instability alone, what can be gleaned for queer theory by examining the tension of the in/stability dialectic? This essay reflects on the author's own embodied experience as researcher within the social and spatial dimensions of the Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA). Informed by critical geograph…
The People, Place, and Space Reader
Space is not an aseptic dimension: it is an experience that brings together physical, ideal, and emotional elements shaping individual and communal perceptions of being in the world.This expanded understanding of space is the result of a debate that emerged in the late nineteenth century and bloomed after the Second World War.However, this understanding has not percolated into common development planning; even today, the spatial dimension is ofte…
