“…The two words occur occasionally, but generally without a specific focus. There are some notable exceptions, particularly in the following works: Waitt et al (2007) on moralities, indigenous knowledge and pride/shame amongst the Australian Uluru population; Naraghi (2014) on shame in Iran; Longhurst et al 2012, on clashing emotions in single mothers engaged in higher education in New Zealand; Longhurst (2014) on feelings of shame in relation to body size; and Johnston (2007Johnston ( , 2019 on the geographies of guilt and shame in relation to gay pride parades, body size and sport. With the sole exception of Naraghi (2014), all these contributions build on Probyn's (2005) conceptualisation of shame and pride, emphasising the role of shame in collective processes of identity formation.…”

Guilt and shame operate in connection with individual and collective forces. This paper explores how space is contingent in psychic processes, and how the generation and negotiation of feelings of guilt and shame develop in the interplay between internal processes of the mind and the worldly ‘outside’. By presenting two examples, precisely commodity consumption and sex, and a set of fictional anecdotes, the article proposes a series of hypotheses concerning distance, proximity and visibility in relation to shame and guilt, and it analyses mechanisms of resistance to guilt and shame, which include spatial architectures of concealment, displacement and mimesis. It is argued that an explicit recognition of the role of guilt and shame in shaping urban spaces may lead to a better understanding of the mechanics of production of space, may contribute to further bridging geographical and psychoanalytical debates, and may have a political and transformative potential, with meaningful geographical implications.

“…For Love (2007) shame is inherent in homosexuality, that is, shame is essential to LGBT identities, not something from which one can turn away. Like trauma, affects such as shame and failure are embedded within queer autobiographies and life stories (Johnston, 2019;Waitt and Stapel, 2011), enmeshed with and often generating trauma.…”

Queer urban trauma and its spatial politics: A lesson from social movements in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

Growing attention has been devoted to the political geography of urban social movements but trauma, its urban context and spatial politics, have been significantly neglected. This paper aims to develop the concept of ‘queer urban trauma’ and its aftermath in the sense of urban and spatial activism, through an analysis of two traumatic events for the LGBT community in Israel. It explains how traumatic events taking place within urban contexts affect the spatial politics of LGBT and queer urban activism. Based on geographies of sexualities and queer theory, this paper aims to fill this gap by analysing traumatic events in two Israeli cities: the 2009 shooting of two young queers in a youth club in Tel Aviv, and the 2015 stabbing of a young girl during the Jerusalem Pride Parade. Tel Aviv is considered the liberal centre of Israel and a local ‘gay heaven’, as well as a destination for global gay tourism. Jerusalem on the other hand is usually described with a sense of alienation among LGBT and queer individuals and movements, where every political, spatial, cultural and financial achievement is a struggle. We argue that the politics of trauma are constructed differently in these two urban settings, producing important nuances of urban activism and politics. Through this empirical discussion, we develop the concept of ‘queer urban trauma’, revealing divergent forms of spatial visibility, presence and activity of the queer movements within urban spaces.
