It draws on multidisciplinary empirical research - on Violence, Sexuality and Space - conducted in a place that was simultaneously represented in one of the most controversial programmes ever to be screened on British television - Queer as Folk. As the television programme intervened in the responses from the interviews and focus groups, we begin, through an exploration of spatial referents and characterisation, to explore the `authentic' underpinning for the queer imaginary. We examine the sexual politics of place and space as a politics of verisimilitude, affectivity and political claims-making. - Reproduced.
