Th the south was the Meat Packing Ditrict with ist mixture of slaughterhouses, transsexuals and drug dealers, separating the unoffical from the offical side of Manhattan in the s. As the economic era of docking cargo ships ended, the decaying warehouses were largely unobserved and therefore ideal for special kinds of interventions in urban spaces.

A new area began, unnoticed. The sexualisation of Place. The photographs of Leonard Fink, until today unpublished and unexhibited, are a tremendous visual document of a long gone time and place. My review of the Brooklyn Historical Society's exhibition, "On the Queer Waterfront".

Building on thesocio-political context of the Lavender and Red Scare in the s —when homosex-uals were expelled from merchant marine and naval forces— The City Aroused exploreshow the San Francisco waterfront became a containment zone for a thriving queernightlife.

The queer bar culture responded to the cracking down, bar raids,street sweeps, and liquor suspensions, through collective organizing, creating politicalnetworks and local publications to call for equal treatment under the law. Despite thedestruction of the queer waterfront sites and their replacement with office towersand freeway ramps, the displaced queer community managed to continue organizingand resisting within other designated contained zones in the city, such as theTenderloin, where their presence was allowed and tolerated but still tightly controlled.

First, I historicize the current neighborhood tensions in the context of racialized media reporting of homophobic hate crime. This paper is a provisional genealogical project, which aims to track the historical context of cruising in NYC from a 'placeness' rooted in the geography of the city to its dematerialization and instrumentalization via the mediated technologies of 'hookup apps' such as Grindr and Scruff.

These apps are unpacked as 'capture apparatuses' that provide new forms of 'grammars of action' which change the sociotechnical organization of human activity at the level of gay intimacies and desire. At the same time I map out cruising as a spatializing gesture that can be tacked in its relation to privacy and publicity and the many ways in which it becomes tied to to gay sociality and the makings of a counter public.

Grindhouse : Cultural Exchange on 42nd Street, and Beyond. Queer Urban Infrastructure What makes a queer city? How should we understand the intersection of desire, bodies, and nonhuman objects that continuously makes and remakes it? Geographers and other social scientists have attended to the spatiality of urban queer life since the s, if not before, but in comparison to their quantification and elucidation of the bounded sites and spaces of gay life, little attention has been paid within queer urban studies to the networks of material infrastructure that actually enable queer life.

The dominant method geographers have used to study the gay and lesbian-and, later, queer-urban is derived from what is sometimes called the "ethnic" model of urban clustering. John D'Emilio traced the emergence of gay urban subcultures in the United States to histories of urbanization associated with wage labor and thus the ability of people with same-sex attractions to live independently of families for the first time.

Earlier studies, like that of Catalan sociologist Manuel Castells, pioneered the convention of treating gay men's urban land-use patterns as similar to the s Chicago School's urban ecology framework for understanding how ethnic groups successively invade, take over, and then depart from particular zones of urban space.

At the same time, Castells argued that white gay men contributed to the rescue and rebirth of cities devastated by economic restructuring and white flight. The implications of imbrication with forces of neoliberal capitalism and, by extension, gentrification are never far away, but scholars are focused on attending to the extent to which gay neighborhoods are being selectively and problematically incorporated into the urban entrepreneurial strategies.

The golden age of Downtown film is in black and white. Punk kids pose on rooftops with graffiti they just painted as backdrop, the city spilling out across the horizon. Everyone's high and poor and an artist. The films do not record a way of living as much as manifest it.

Arriving to the Lower East Side as I did in , these films, and the performances, paintings, and bars that they conjured, were still happening-although I felt uninvited and unwanted and largely disconnected from this scene-and so, like so many others before me, I worked with others to make another Downtown.
