as a geographical analysis. 1 Geographers traditionally have been the scholars most concerned with space, but there is growing interest among other social and cultural theorists in the study of space, spatial relationships, and the processes of space. This chapter has been influenced not only by researchers interested primarily in geography, such as Alison Blunt, J. Nicholas Entrikin, Gillian Rose, and Edward H. Soja, but also by scholars, such as Gloria Anzaldúa and Maria Lugones, who are interested in how minority communities construct their identities in relationship to the mainstream, as well as by theorists, such as Mark Blasius, Judith Butler, and Michel Foucault, whose main focus of research lies elsewhere. This interdisciplinary approach is necessary to bridge the gap between geography and queer studies and to demonstrate the importance of place for gay and lesbian theory.
