Les traques sexuelles entre hommes. Un marqueur de la société commutative
Abstract
This article is a testimony of sexual practices between men at the beginning of the 21st century – at the time of the gradual disappearance of gay districts. In their contemporary progress, they collectively strengthen the synchrony of urban temporalities while being articulated with the diffuse and individualized temporalities of rural or urban recreational practices. Nevertheless, this re-reconsider the progress of a practice that is spatially and socially marginalized, as it undergoes collective representations concerning the nights. In fact, the sexual practices of men between them brought to read the activation of facets of identity according to the situations in front of the potential insult and how they keep the secret. A political question appears from the point of view of the management of practices that go beyond the formal framework of uses in public spaces.
