Product Description
Review
"Using the work of Butler, Foucault, Lacan, Sedgwick, Soja, and other contemporary social theorists, Brown weaves together a convincing tapestry of metaphor and performance to build a theory of closet spaces that undeniably demonstrates the power of the closet to shape gay and nongay geographies...."Closet Space is a necessary and welcomed addition to the growing body of geographic literature on the lives of gays and lesbians.."
-J. Dallas Dishman, "Economic Geography

Product Description
Is the closet just a metaphor? Closet Space provides a highly original account of the spatial metaphor of "the closet", and is the first geography text to focus on this important issue. Using a variety of research techniques and materials, the book explores the closet through texts including:
* the oral histories of gay men in the UK and US
* the sexualised landscape of a New Zealand city
* the national census of Britain and the US
* international travel guides and travelogues
and refers to the work of Butler, Lefebvre and Foucault.
