Abstract

Introduction to themed section.

 

This Themed Section assembles sexuality/queer, geographical and socio-linguistic scholarship to pursue – what we, a collaborating geographer and semiotician, frame as –  critical geographical queer semiotics. We regard this as an on-going episteme-techne research frontier at the crossroads of language-focused geographical inquiry (see, e.g., Brown, 2002; Leap and Boellstorff, 2004; Valentine et al., 2008; Browne and Nash, 2010; Murray, 2016) and the unfolding sociolinguistic subdiscipline of linguistic landscaping (see, e.g., Shohamy and Gorter, 2009; Blommaert, 2013; Stroud and Jegels, 2014; Blackwood et al., 2016). 

Author Biography

Martin Zebracki, School of Geography, University of Leeds

Dr Martin Zebracki is a cultural geographer in the Citizenship and Belonging Research Group in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds. With a human geography and art history background, he employs discursive, observational, participatory and multi-media methodologies to examine his intersecting core ethnographic interests in public art, social engagement and inclusiveness, queer citizenship and gender and sexual diversity within everyday in-vivo contexts of Western city spaces. Zebracki's recent area of concern is the emerging relevance of virtually mediated environments for multiscalar embodiment, public creative engagement and sexual identity performance.
