Claiming urban citizenship through insurgent choreographies: The queering of body protest and politics in a Slut Walk
Contemporary street protests reveal a transformation in the repertoires of activist action and the role of body politics in challenging gender and sexual inequalities and exclusions. Drawing on a case study of a recent edition of a Slut Walk, a transnational movement calling for an end to rape culture, I use the concept of insurgent choreography to explore the processes of place-making offered by the gathering of gender-nonconforming bodies in pu…
Pinkwashing Policies or Insider Activism? Allyship in the LGBTIQ+ Governance–Activism Nexus
While there has been an increase in the rights and visibility of LGBTIQ+ people in (most) European countries, critiques of what is denounced as instrumentalization by public policies of LGBTIQ+ issues have also developed. In this context, one can ask how to qualify the strengthened relationships between governance and activism. In this article, I propose to explore the paradoxical articulation of the multiple sites from where the cause support ca…
Jalons pour des géographies de la performance drag: Réflexions à partir de la scène genevoise
Cet article propose des jalons pour une ethnographie spatiale de la performance drag. J’y analyse comment les dispositifs spatiaux mis en place sont pratiqués et négociés, tant par les performeuresesx que le public, au sein d’un événement clé de la Pride suisse romande de 2021. Je montre comment s’articulent deux types de spatialités – celles des corps sexués et genrés et celles du lieu de l’événement – dans un mouvement incessant entre conformat…
Shaping the Inclusive City: Power Relations, Regulations, and the Role of Social Work
While being celebrated as the ideal of inclusiveness, cities also constitute the place of different types of discrimination, which some public policies intend to tackle. The “urban” has also been pointed out as the locus where vice and lust concentrate, leading public policies to develop regulations for public space aiming to maintain the social order of the city. This, in turn, contributes to the definition of the contours of urban moral economi…
What Would an Inclusive City for Gender and Sexual Minorities Be Like? You Need to Ask Queer Folx
From fights against racism to women’s inclusion, from access to education to integration of migrants: “Inclusion” and the “inclusive city” have been used in many ways and at different scales, running the risk of becoming a kind of catchall. Following increasing use by public authorities, media, and urban professionals, the inclusive city now serves as a normative framework for urban development. Although it is aimed at social cohesion, one nevert…
Infrastructures of migration and the ordering of privilege in mobility
This article explores privilege in migration. Rather than focus on practices of privilege at micro-scales, the article examines how privilege in migration is ordered and disciplined through meso- and macro-level infrastructures (transnational organisations, higher education institutes, and governmental visa policies). The article questions where a pervasive discourse of mobility as achievement comes from and how it becomes materialised in the pro…
Towards geographies of privileged migration: An intersectional perspective
While geography has traditionally ‘looked down’ in the search for social justice, a recent trend in the social sciences has argued for thinking through privilege. Taking this call seriously, this paper draws on feminist scholarship and uses intersectionality to demonstrate that reflections about privilege are imperative in the pursuit of social justice. Through laying the groundwork for a theorisation of privilege within and beyond migration geog…
She’s a real expat’: Be(com)ing a woman expatriate in Luxembourg through everyday performances of heteronormativity
This paper provides an ethnographical account of everyday practices of how expatriate women in the Global North adjust and negotiate their gender position to become part of a transnational elite. Drawing on feminist scholarship, it makes the case for a comprehensive understanding of the production of expatriate wives’ gendered subjectivities in relation to the neoliberal doxa of success associated with transnational mobility. Through an intersect…
A feminist geographer in a strange land: Building bridges through informal mentoring in Switzerland
This article is a narrative representation of a personal experience as an early career feminist woman in the French-speaking Swiss context. After highlighting the androcentric tradition in Swiss academia, and the still-prevalent glass ceiling for young female scholars, this article aims to explore the survival mechanisms women use among themselves when up against a pervasive old boys’ club. Using a reflexive approach, this article illustrates how…
Parcours augmentés, une expérience sensible entre arts et sciences sociales
Quelles traces laissent en nous une promenade urbaine ? Chaque jour, nous faisons l’expérience d’espaces, nous arpentons les rues d’un quartier, nous traversons une ville ou un espace géographique. Nous nous fabriquons une représentation et une mémoire de ces espaces. Comment saisir, faire exister, utiliser ces images invisibles de la ville ? Telles sont les questions posées pour un atelier réunissant un groupe de chercheurs et d’artistes à Rezé …
Le sexe sous contrôle médical: Introduction
La vie d’artiste peut se caractériser par une double concurrence des temps : d’une part au sein de l’espace professionnel (entre les activités de création, d’administration, de communication, d’enseignement, etc.) ; d’autre part entre celui-ci et l’espace domestique. L’article propose d’analyser les conditions et les modalités de l’articulation des temps de travail et des temps de vie d’artistes musicien·ne·s et plasticien·ne·s. Il montre notamme…
Christophe Imbert, Hadrien Dubucs, Françoise Dureau, Matthieu Giroud, D’une métropole à l’autre. Pratiques urbaines et circulations dans l’espace européen: Armand Colin, collection « Recherches », 201…
Cet ouvrage propose une lecture riche et stimulante des questions de mobilité inter et intra-urbaines à l’échelle européenne. Á partir d’une enquête menée à Lisbonne dans le cadre du projet « Mobilités entre métropoles européennes et reconfigurations des espaces de vie » (MEREV), financé par l’ANR, il révèle de façon éclairante les relations entre circulations internationales, pratiques urbaines et représentations des espaces de vie des personnes…
Performances et pratiques spatiales des femmes expatriées à Luxembourg: Une Enquête Sur La Production De l'Hétéronormativité Des Espaces Du Quotidien
La géographie sociale mais aussi culturelle s’est attachée à définir l’espace comme un construit social, à la fois support et enjeu des rapports sociaux. L’espace prend part, dans ce contexte, à la régulation des pratiques des usagèr.e.s de la ville. Ces géographies, qui se fondent en partie sur les théorisations de Lefebvre (1984) quant à la perception et à l’expérience affective de l’espace, tendent néanmoins à en ignorer la dimension genrée et…
Rodrigo Garcia, Albert Nobbs
Dublin, fin du XIXesiècle. Un domestique trébuche sur le perron enneigé d’un hôtel et bouscule malencontreusement le client dont il portait les bagages. L’homme bourgeois se montre offensé et exige le renvoi immédiat du jeune homme, le condamnant à errer en quête d’une nouvelle place. Cette séquence d’ouverture illustre la violence des rapports sociaux au sein d’une Irlande en proie à l’exode rural et où l’Amérique représente le rêve ultime d’une…
