| Title | Making Queer Space: Peculiarities of Queer Space in Moscow and San Francisco |
| Summary | Born out of the interconnection and interrelation of notions of space, gender and sexuality, this work explores the gay club as an institution. The gay club, as a form of queer space, allows us to interrogate the causes for differences between queer space found in a variety of locale. In this research project I aim at discovering grounds for these distinctions and possible related consequences. Objects of my comparative analysis were two gay clubs located in two major world cities, namely Moscow, Russian Federation and San Francisco, United States of America. Looking at the club my aim was to show how historical background, cultural heritage and social discourse impact upon localities of queer sociality. Therefore, my work reveals that queer space in a particular geographical location is bound to be different from its counterparts elsewhere in the world. |
