This article introduces a special issue on placing LGBTQ+ urban activisms, arguing that place is a vital framework for considering a more decentred and transversal representation of such activisms. It advocates for adopting a middle ground based on material realities, suggesting a re-examination of established histories and theories of LGBTQ+ urban activisms and proposing alternatives that recognize contingencies and multiplicities. The article emphasizes critical continuities and ordinary entanglements involved in urban LGBTQ+ activisms in place, concluding by encouraging the use of elsewhere and otherwise as a critical urban strategy for further inquiry.
This article introduces the special issue on placing LGBTQ+ urban activisms. It argues that place provides a vital framework for considering a more decentred and transversal representation of such activisms, creating potential for the consideration of smaller and more peripheral locations and alternative visions of the more familiar and iconic cities that have been centres of LGBTQ+ urban social movements in the global North. While inspired by the anti-colonial, subaltern and feminist ethos of what Derickson terms 'Urbanisation 2', the article makes the case for adopting a middle ground - Urbanisation 1.5 - based in material realities that shape both the practice and inquiry into contemporary LGBTQ+ urban activisms. It begins by reviewing and dismantling established histories and theories of LGBTQ+ urban activisms, queerly calling into question the employment of urban theories that emphasise spatial hierarchies and linear temporality. Next, the article proposes alternatives, suggesting a shift towards recognising the contingencies and multiplicities that come together in and across urban places. The third section emphasises the critical continuities and ordinary entanglements involved in remembering, being and doing urban LGBTQ+ activisms in place. It concludes by encouraging the employment of elsewhere and otherwise as a critical urban strategy for igniting further inquiry into the politics of LGBTQ+ activisms in urban studies.
