Queer Premises: LGBTQ+ Venues in London Since the 1980s de Prof. Ben Campkin

Queer Premises: LGBTQ+ Venues in London Since the 1980s

Autor Prof. Ben Campkin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iun 2023
Queer premises provide vital social and cultural infrastructure - a queer infrastructure - connecting different generations and locations, facilitating the movement of resources, across and beyond the city.Queer Premises offers evidence for how London's diverse LGBTQ+ populations have embedded themselves into urban spaces, systems and resources. It sets out to understand how, across their different material dimensions, bars, cafés, nightclubs, pubs, community centres have been imagined, created and sustained. From the 1980s to the present, Campkin asks how, where, and why these venues have been established, how they operate and the purposes they serve, what challenges they face and why they close down.

Caracteristici

Looks at a sample of the typologies of 'gay space' or 'queer space' including state-funded community centres, socialist cooperatives and collectives of the 1980s, commercial nightclubs and multi-purpose pub-club-cabaret venues from the 1990s and 2000s, and examples from today's dynamic scenes - from fetish clubs to pop-up parties and activist campaigns linked to threatened or closed venues

Recenzii

This terrific book deftly unpicks the shifting and unequal forces - from LGBTQ+ activism to clunky planning processes and neo-liberal urban redevelopment - that have affected the survival or closure of London's queer venues since the 1980s. Professor Campkin's fine-grained and authoritative analysis illuminates our understanding of London's queer nightlife and will reshape queer urban studies.
In these pages lives a network of places that scale up into structures of urban governance, planning, and "queer infrastructure" in London. The clever move to examine the heritage values of these LGBTQ+ venues enables Campkin to show the collectivist project of placemaking initiatives. An absolute tour de force.
