  • Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival
    Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival Author Buttigieg, Bob Published 2018-03 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1869 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/380562 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Queer Youth in Straight Spaces: Tactics of Survival Robert Buttigieg BA, BA (Hons) School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science Arts, Education & Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis draws from interviews conducted between late-2012 and mid-2013 as an ‘intimate insider’ (Taylor 2011) with twenty one young queer people living on the Gold Coast, Australia, at the time we spoke. It also draws from my own autoethnographic stories about growing up queer on the Gold Coast. Through these stories of self and others, I map out shared and unique experiences of youth, queerness, and the local setting of the city of Gold Coast, in order to identify and interrogate ‘tactics’ – in de Certeau’s (1984) sense – of survival: everyday means of ‘getting by’ in spaces that are ordered (built, controlled) by dominant forms of power (viz. ‘strategies’). These tactics provide a window into the effects and affects produced in/on young queer people by heterosexed public space and by those individuals and institutions that underwrite and authorise explicit and implicit forms of violence against us. The collection of survival tactics compiled herein, which is neither complete nor authoritative (due to the nature of tactics as products of necessity and creativity), is also in a sense an ‘instruction manual’ for young queer people who might read this thesis and draw inspiration from these everyday means of getting by, to develop their own tactics of survival.
