  • Geographies of Enforced Heteronormativity in Urban Public Parks: a Case Study of Project Marie
    Geographies of Enforced Heteronormativity in Urban Public Parks: A Case Study of Project Marie by Bronwyn Clement A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography & Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Bronwyn Clement 2018 Geographies of Enforced Heteronormativity in Urban Public Parks: A Case Study of Project Marie Bronwyn Clement Master of Arts Department of Geography & Planning University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The policing of sex in public parks raises questions regarding how the access and use of public space is regulated and how normative framings of urban park space are reproduced and enforced. This thesis uses the recent police operation, Project Marie – in which dozens of individuals were ticketed for bylaw infractions and trespassing in Etobicoke’s Marie Curtis Park – as a case study. Drawing from queer geography and urban political ecology, this thesis examines how heteronormativity is reproduced through and embedded in the planning, governance and regulation of urban park space. I situate this case study within discussions of the socio-political conditions and decisions that shape urban natures that construct and confine park spaces. The paper uses interviews and a critical discourse analysis of the media and grey literature surrounding Project Marie to demonstrate social regulation and enforcement of heteronormative ideas of public park space. ii Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge that my research and studies takes place on the traditional territories of the Mississauga of the New Credit and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in Gichi Kiiwenging / Tkaronto / Toronto. Visiting, researching and writing about a new-to-me space along the lakeshore, where Etobicoke creek meets the lake, deepened my appreciation for this great body of water, Gichi- zaaga’igna / Lake Ontario.

  • Homosexuality and Prostitution: a Tale of Two Deviancies Ummni Khan
    Homosexuality and prostitution: A tale of two deviancies Ummni Khan University of Toronto Law Journal, Volume 70, Number 3, Summer 2020, pp. 283-305 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/760438 [ Access provided at 31 Dec 2020 13:39 GMT from University of Ottawa ] Ummni Khan* HOMOSEXUALITY AND PROSTITUTION: A TALE OF TWO DEVIANCIES† Historically, homosexuality and prostitution were both branded immoral vices that required crim- inalization, despite the fact that they were also considered ‘victimless crimes.’ Yet, in contemporary Canadian society, gays and lesbians have gained wide social acceptance and legal rights, while the sex trade has become more criminalized, stigmatized, and, for clients or third parties, vilified. This article explores the reasons for this divergence. First, drawing on radical queer critique, I problematize this framing, arguing that the equality and rights-based victories for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans community did not necessarily benefit all of its members. Building on this insight, I argue that those queers who are unable or uninterested in accessing the benefits ushered in by ‘gay rights’ have identities, proclivities, and vulnerabilities that overlap with those of sex workers and/or their clients. Part I of the article sets the socio-legal and political context, providing succinct overviews of key developments relating to gay and lesbian rights and of key developments relating to sex trade regulation, focusing primarily on the last fifty years. Part II analyses how 10.3138/utlj.2019-0082 gay/lesbian mainstream acceptance and the queer/sex trade marginalization occurred through e20190082 overlapping discourses and laws related to privacy, bawdy houses/indecency, disease, spousal/ 70 marital relations, and children.

Technical specifications 4. Marketing information, target audience and selling points 5. About the company 6. Summary of key information 1. About the show “There are two types of people. The ones who move away. And the ones who stay and wait…” Pepper and Honey is a new play about two women questioning the meaning of home. The play is timed to perfection in order to deliver a perfect Croatian pepper biscuit, baked live in front of and with the help of the audience. The show has been created with rural touring venues and audiences in mind. The live baking process is intertwined with a story of what it is like to settle in a different country, leaving and returning and making and breaking family traditions. “A very human, and at times, challenging story about what divides and unites us. Exquisitely acted and faultless production. Perfect for rural touring” -David Lane, Rural touring promoter “Home is where it smells of pepper and honey…” Images from Pepper and Honey tour 2020– credit Fernando Photography Created by Notnow Collective, a Birmingham-based company led by two female Croatian theatre-makers, and written by the company’s co-founder Kristina Gavran, Pepper and Honey is a poignant, subtle and timely play about cultural differences, trying not to feel like a foreigner in your adopted country, and the conflict between upholding the traditions of the old country and embracing those of the new.

    A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Matthew Bridge All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge This doctoral dissertation looks at several readings and interpretations of the works of the Marquis de Sade, from the eighteenth century to the present. Ever since he was imprisoned under the Old Regime following highly publicized instances of physical and sexual abuse, Sade has remained a controversial figure who has been both condemned as a dangerous criminal and celebrated as an icon for artistic freedom. The most enduring aspect of his legacy has been a vast collection of obscene publications, characterized by detailed descriptions of sexual torture and murder, along with philosophical diatribes that offer theoretical justifications for the atrocities. Not surprisingly, Sade’s works have been subject to censorship almost from the beginning, leading to the author’s imprisonment under Napoleon and to the eventual trials of his mid-twentieth-century publishers in France and Japan. The following pages examine the reception of Sade’s works in relation to the legal concept of obscenity, which provides a consistent framework for textual interpretation from the 1790s to the present. I begin with a prelude discussing the 1956 trial of Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in order to situate the remainder of the dissertation within the context of how readers approached a body of work as quintessentially obscene as that of Sade.

  • Queer Quarantine: Conceptualizing State and Dominant Cultural Responses to Queer Threats As Discursive Tactics and Technologies of Quarantine
    Queer Quarantine: Conceptualizing State and Dominant Cultural Responses to Queer Threats as Discursive Tactics and Technologies of Quarantine by Péter Balogh A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Péter Balogh Abstract This study explores queer quarantine, my conceptualization of processes and practices aimed at assessing, diagnosing and isolating queer threats to the nation. In theorizing queer quarantine, I draw upon the longstanding conflation of queerness with disease and contagion, and build a case for reading the isolation, containment and casting out of queerness as an assemblage of discursive tactics and technologies aimed at quarantining queers beyond conventional understandings of quarantine. I examine the ways queers are imagined to threaten public space, healthy bodies, and the future of the nation, and provide a new accounting for so-called homophobic policies and practices deployed in statecraft and dominant culture. I also trace the emergence of the queer AIDS monster, an effect of disciplinary tactics of queer quarantine and a particular discursive formation in its own right. My study has two aims: building a case for queer quarantine and, at the same time, demonstrating how queer quarantine can be used as a new model of analysis to identify and explore some of the ways the Canadian state and dominant culture continue to marginalize and oppress queers despite the rights gains and “acceptance” that some gays and lesbians have achieved. My analysis reveals that in 1970s Toronto, the rapidly increasing visibility of queerness became a public threat necessitating tactical responses from local authorities and the police to quarantine queer spaces.
