Space gay, sacred space ; Espace gay, espace sacré
For English language geography, the social production of sexualised and sexualised spaces has become a legitimate research object. This applies equally to anthropology, history or sociology, provided that these disciplines take into account the spatial dimension of the phenomena they study. For this research — which also looks at the conditions for research and the epistemological foundations of the disciplines — spatial planning (landscapes, cartographic representations, neighbourhoods, etc.) is thus at the same time gender (women's places, men's places) and heterosexuality (places which are 'predominantly' bulky or bulky). However, because the most official cultural forms (civil status, political behaviour, monuments, etc.) are most often based on imaginably heterosexual forms, the search for homosexuality has fought popular cultures and economic forms of social organisation. While stressing the value of such an approach, which establishes tools for understanding, we must, however, reverse the balancier: at a time when same-sex couples are recognised by marital status, sexual orientation is becoming a form of political capital and monumentalisation of gays and lesbians, other spaces are beside the commercial space. Local churches are committed to capture the interest and energy of gays and lesbians living close to their buildings. Commercial and urban: the gay space is often described as that of the city, and the study of gay neighbourhoods, research sites for American sociologists and urban geographers since the early 1970s, has sometimes been carried out using the immigration model. These neighbourhoods could be analysed as "quasi-ethnic communities" (Murray 1979), which have become institutionalised in the same processes as immigrant communities in the US. This work is sometimes directly in line with that of the Chicago School of the beginning of the 20th century: Park and Burgess in The City (La City), published in 1925, described the ; Unfinished manuscript/Manuscrit d'article non finalisé ; For English ...
