Shifting Inclusions: Identities and Spaces of Political Lesbianism in Montreal from 1970 to 2020
|
| Abstract |
The author addresses current tensions around identity and spatial boundaries within Montreal’s lesbian and sexual diversity networks, underlining generational and linguistic questions framing identity politics. Based on phenomenological walking interviews with 21 variously identified women in Montreal, the author posits the participants’ situated experiences as valuable horizons of perception to understand socio-cultural transformations. For this article, the author examined political lesbianism’s history in Montreal from 1970 to 2020 through the lens of two self-identified political lesbians, Thérèse and Marta, a couple in their 70s, exploring what it means politically for once-exclusive “lesbian-only” or “women-only” spaces to move forward in a context of shifting inclusions within lesbo-queer communities.
