Editors’ Introduction—Looking Lab: SF

Abstract

Looking Lab: SF views the urban landscape of San Francisco following on our observation that gender has displaced sexuality as the battleground for queer life. We present six short essays from drag queens, queer theorists, activists, and psychoanalysts to frame a broader project for Looking and the City.
