This thesis is a contribution to the geographies of sexualities and more specifically to queer geographies. It first seeks to understand how queer places are created by the many ways they are defined, though of, and organized in their rhizomatic pattern. Self-defined queer people have indeed a tendency to create places through the gathering of an array of persons who are connected by a particular relationship to gender, sexuality, as well as by the political component of the queer discourse. Focusing next on the "milieux de vie" that emerged from this loose network of places, the research looks at the systematic violence exerted against queer people in the public and private space. This phenomenon is seen and explained through a set of norms and domination patterns occurring at different levels and scales in society. Violence within the communities is finally studied. The author concludes in examining and in offering a critic of the concept of safe space, which lay the ground for the proposal of the construction of espaces bienveillants (derived from the concept of brave place). The study was conducted through participant observations, auto-ethnographic method, on-line surveys and direct conversations. Reflexivity was at the center of the field work, the author insists most notably on the emotional work researcher faces in this type of research. ; Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le champ de la géographie des sexualités et contribue plus précisément au champ des géographies queers.

International audience ; This article aims to show how queer geographies fit into the history of geography and how francophone geographies can use them. It throws light on the origins (postmodernity and feminisms) and precedents of queer geography (geography of sexualities). In opening to intersectionality (political, racial, social and cultural dimensions), this new geographical field could enable us to go far beyond Gender and Sexualities Studies. ; le but de cet article est de voir comment les géographies queers s'intègrent dans l'histoire de la géographie et ce qu'elles apportent de nouveau à la discipline dans les pays francophones. Il permet de voir ses origines (postmodernité et féminismes) et ses précédents (géographie des sexualités). On explique ensuite l'originalité de ce nouveau champ de la géographie, qui permet d'aller au-delà des études des genres et des sexualités en s'ouvrant à l'intersectionnalité (dimensions politiques, ethniques, sociales et culturelles).

International audience ; This paper is co–written by three self–identified 'scholactivists' who work, live and are politically engaged in French academic spaces. Drawing on our auto–ethnographic experiences and previous research projects, our objective is to develop a critique of the normative character of the academy and disciplinary boundaries, and to share tactics for overcoming the modalities of control of academic topics and bodies. In the first part, we provide more insight into the mechanisms of the French academic world. In the second part, we present three cases of epistemological practices, which do not conform to the over–dominant positivist ideals clouding French academic spaces. These examples concern (1) pedagogy and teaching, (2) research and methodologies, and (3) dissemination and embodiment.
