What are important to this work are the contributions and influence of nightlife subculture to greater New York City history through fashion, music, and art. I intend to prove that, in combination with the city’s gradual revanchism of neighborhood properties, the self-destructive nature of this after-hours sector has led to its own demise.

Contact: [email protected] The Last Gay Man on Earth Can the mainstreaming of a culture be responsible for its demise? by Muri Assunção My life-changing moment happened at the summer of 2016, at The Pavilion. The brighter-than-usual strobelights probably had something to do with it, I wasn't sure, but at that moment my entire gay life flashed before my eyes: the Madonna concerts, the weekends in South Beach, the passion fruit margaritas on 8th Avenue, the $950 pair of Dita sunglasses. I was in the middle of a dance floor full of shirtless muscled torsos, with still hours of friends, fun and fabulousness ahead of me. I also had a boyfriend whom I loved, and who loved me back—when did that ever happened? Besides, I still held on to my 29” waist, 43 years and counting, and I was not letting it go. My life was homo-textbook perfection. But still, something was missing. After spending the weekend listening to Daniel—the one who loved me back— make fun at the recent baby trend in the gay community that was taking over Fire Island (“by ‘watersports’ now, they mean ‘beach soccer’”), it suddenly hit me: the only thing better than holding a Puncher’s Punch cocktail at the island's legendary Tea Dance, would be to hold a newborn close to my chest, and to hear the words: “DADA.” I wanted to have a child.

  • Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman Tackles the Multi-Farious Scene in One of America's Biggest Cities
    Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman tackles the multi-farious scene in one of America's biggest cities. Los Angeles has always been a capital of pop culture. Outside of rave, however, it's never had much of a reputation for its dance music culture. Until recently, that is. The efforts of local promoters have given rise to enormous EDM festivals, the Low End Theory-driven beat scene and thriving techno and house crews—and have led to the city finally becoming internationally recognized. Now, it seems, a place that houses four million people inside the city limits and 18 million in the greater Southland area, is finally representing itself on the world stage. True to its geography—a set of suburbs fronting as a megalopolis—Los Angeles doesn't have a dominant sound or theme. Instead, there are many scenes tugging for attention and battling over the few legitimate dance venues the city has to offer. It's enormously difficult to acquire a liquor license in LA, thanks in no small part to club-owning cowboys like Eddie Nash (of Wonderland murder fame), and those that do can't serve all that late anyway. Most nights last from 10 until 2 or 3 AM (a reality that often results in seeing your headlining DJ for two hours). It doesn't help that many of the historical clubs/bars in places like Hollywood and West Hollywood are a tough sell to fans of underground music, as the price points, degree of parking difficulty and douchebaggery quotient are all high. That means that many parties of note take place downtown or in other east side neighborhoods (if not a private estate).

  • Theatres of Memory: the Politics and Poetics of Improvised Social
    2014年3月27日 Theatres of Memory: The Politics and Poetics of Improvised Social Dancing in Queer Clubs Theatres of Memory: The Politics and Poetics of Improvised Social Dancing in Queer Clubs Theresa Smalec © 2003 PMC 14.1 Review of: Buckland, Fiona. Impossible Dance: Club Culture and Queer World-Making. Middletown, CT: Wesleyan UP, 2002. 1. Scholars who take up Fiona Buckland's Impossible Dance: Club Culture and Queer World-Making will step into the vastly underexplored arena that Buckland defines as "improvised social dancing in queer clubs" (2). Based on four years (1994-1998) of fieldwork and detailed interviews with New York's queer club-goers, her book describes the forms of preparation, performance, and politicized exchange that transpire in these volatile sites. As Buckland observes from the start, "the subject of improvised social dancing has been relegated to the sidelines in scholarship, not least because of its perceived impossibility--that is, its resistance to discursive description" (2). Formal, scored modes of social dance such as the tango are difficult enough to translate into words. What, then, about the spontaneous, often ineffable actions and gestures that transpire in queer clubs? How does one forge a theory of value for the affective knowledge that emerges from this seemingly inchoate mode of performance? What promises, possibilities, and ways of relating to others does such movement signify to its diverse practitioners? How does ephemeral dance set enduring politics in motion? 2. In her first chapter, "The Theatre of Queer World-Making," Buckland outlines the parameters that will enable her to archive the social worlds and practices encountered in the course of her research.
