Making a Scene: struggles over lesbian place-making in anglophone Canada, 1964-1984

摘要

From the middle of the 1960s to the mid 1980s anglophone Canadian lesbians built up a loose network of different types of space in which women could situate themselves as part of a lesbian a??scenea??. Using the concept of scale this article explores outreach projects and the sharing of information gathered during trips. These were some of the means by which lesbians overcame one barrier to the scene, which was the a??friction of distancea?? caused by the time and cost involved in travelling around Canada to make contact with other lesbians. Together with gay men, lesbians also struggled to control the definition of what counted at the national scale.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09612025.2012.658176
