La città contesa

Sessualità e appropriazione dello spazio urbano a New York negli anni Settanta

About this book

“Una discarica con profonde ambizioniartistiche” è così che EdmundWhite definisce la New York deglianni Settanta. Una città in bancarotta,invasa dai rifiuti, devastata dalcrimine e dal caos, uno spazio in cuiil pubblico e il privato si confondono,che nella sua impermanenza e “porosità”ricorda la Napoli di cui scrisseWalter Benjamin. Eppure in queglianni – fra l’entusiasmo e l’irriverenzadegli anni Sessanta, e il conservatorismoe i nuovi assetti economici deglianni Ottanta – New York fu teatro diuna serie di significative trasformazioniculturali e urbane. Quello cheemerge da un’analisi dei suoi movimentisociali e culturali è una nuovaidea di rivendicazione, di contestazionee infine di produzione dello spaziourbano. Questo volume prende inesame alcuni esempi di contestazionedel territorio cittadino, mettendo inluce il rapporto con la città e le dinamicheinterne delle comunità che lihanno animati: dall’attivismo portoricanoad Harlem all’affermarsi dellesaune gay a Manhattan, dalle protestecontro il film Cruising fino alle comunitàevocate dai due recenti memoirs di Eileen Myles e Edmund White.
