How did that French field emerge? And how was that emergence different to other areas of queer geography? You also mentioned the French delay, and I'm interested in hearing about that too.

Yeah, I think it's quite interesting to understand how queer geographies or geographies of sexualities emerge in different contexts.

And in the case of France, it emerged in the early 2000s, and it stems from studies conducted mainly by men, scholars at the time, focusing on gay sex.

spatialities, mobilities, the development of gay neighborhoods, cruising, gay visibility.

And this research was limited both in terms of research subjects, which are, I would say, centered on the urban and centered on gay male subjects.

But they are also limited about epistemology because these research are rooted in still relatively positivist approach with maps, for instance, so mapping of gay venues.

After that, this first trend of research was subsequently supplemented by lesbian geographies of sexualities, but following the same path with mapping, for instance, lesbian venues.

So how does that feel and what kind of work is involved in that?
