Contribuciones actuales de la Geografía de género y homosexualidad desde el espacio urbano

Abstract

This article presents a current analytical review of the vital contributions, especially from Latin America and other countries, in the theoretical-research construction of the urban space, with a gender perspective, specifically homosexual. In order to show how the gay community and men live interconnected spaces that occupy and where they produce meanings of different forms within the city. And in this way contribute in the understanding of the adjacent forms in the creation of spaces for emancipatory practices in the urban and social, since the homosexual dynamics and the public space, are one of the substantial components of the city. For this purpose, the exploration of books, scientific articles and research was carried out from the decade of the nineties until now. Where it was possible to identify theoretical conceptions, thematic axes, as well as particular problems found in the different fields of research. In the same way, pending challenges are expressed regarding the development of the spatial manifestations of homosexuality currently.
