Nevertheless, the physical sites of these events remain a valuable, if emotionally complex tool for providing insight into the ways in which use of the built and natural environment has led to conflict and violence between queer and heteronormative communities. Analyzing two of Boston's most popular cruising spots, the Charles River Esplanade and Back Bay Fens, this paper explores the intersection of visible queer land use and a significant increase in anti-gay violence in the city during the 1970s and 80s. Instead of crimes of opportunity or robberies, this work draws direct connections between gay-bashing, the symbolic meanings of queer land use, and the heterocentric political and law enforcement instruments used to address the violence.","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":"55 1","pages":"226 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73069159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 'façade portraits' of buildings illustrate the often ephemeral nature of the clandestine communities that once congregated within them. The vast majority of these extant sites no longer function as lesbian gathering places, having been closed by attrition, usurped by alternative community-making tools such as social media and dating apps, or forced to relocate due to market forces. The photos reflect the challenge of putting down spatial roots at a time when 21st-century freedoms would seem to allow the public, permanent presence of queer women as never before. In the face of this process of obsolescence, Shockey's photographs serve as a form of documentation and preservation of a once place-based heritage. The photo essay and accompanying text interrogate the meaning of these historic spaces regarding how they pertain to members of the lesbian and queer-female community in a digital era.","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":"28 1","pages":"186 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90256128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adopting a historical method, it draws on the experiences and resources recorded by the community-led \"Rainbow Jews\" heritage project, 2012–15, including a new collection of 40 oral histories. Over the course of the twentieth century, the nexus of Jewish and LGBTQ lives, the places where people lived, rallied, played and prayed, the streets and parks, community halls and parks, shifted from the East End to the West End, from central to north London. This reflected broader urban, social and historical changes, overlapping with the evolving geographies of the broader LGBTQ and Jewish communities. Few of these places are significant for their architectural value or historical fabric, so evade conventional urban heritage practice. This article suggests that treating heritage as a social and historical and an urban and spatial process generates challenging yet surmountable demands for preserving heritage in place. It proposes that dynamic means are required to safeguard the legacy of valuable LGBTQ heritage projects such as \"Rainbow Jews.\"","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":"31 1","pages":"206 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82111166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Queer activists and their preservation allies have worked together to apply several new cultural preservation strategies to help LGBTQ people maintain their place in the city and preserve their significant local cultural heritage. This article examines three particular strategies – the Legacy Business Program, a Citywide LGBTQ Cultural Heritage Strategy, and a series of Cultural Districts – to consider their effectiveness in preserving the tangible remains of LGBTQ heritage and sustaining contemporary queer culture in an increasingly unaffordable city. The analysis yields several recommendations for advocates of preserving LGBTQ culture in rapidly-changing, high cost communities: develop tools that move beyond traditional preservation methods to capture the intangible aspects of culture; act at a citywide scale and in a manner that includes the broad range of LGBTQ practices and perspectives; integrate economic and community development strategies into standard preservation methods; and recognize the salience of identities other than and in addition to queer as part of an intersectional approach to sustaining the city's diverse cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":"42 1","pages":"164 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91189242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, gentrification requires gentry—namely, a sufficient number of persons of means who wish to live in a given historic neighborhood rather than in houses with gardens and private parking on the urban periphery. Second, the theory and practice of heritage conservation is often assumed by theoreticians, professionals, urban planners, and others to require costly interventions to the built fabric and urban spaces of selected historic areas, which are treated either as a collection of monuments or raw material for major urban transformations.In the interests inter alia of socio-cultural continuity, cultural diversity, and social inclusiveness, this paper questions the assumptions underlying these factors, challenges the inevitability of gentrification, and illustrates how working with existing communities allied with the oft-neglected but core heritage principle that \"the best conservation often involves the least work and can be inexpensive\" can avoid adverse socio-economic impacts and negative profiling of heritage conservation.","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":" 6","pages":"100 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/COT.2018.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72381493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the arts and historic preservation have been variously framed as victims, bystanders, and instigators of gentrification. While policymakers have hailed the arts and preservation as cutting-edge economic development strategies, scholars have criticized economic developers, large arts organizations, and historic preservation advocates for art and preservation as strategies that prioritize exogenous urban renewal rather than endogenous community development. There is minimal research, though, on organizations that have intentionally pursued a nexus of arts and preservation, particularly within the context of shrinking/declining cities. This article begins to fill this gap through a qualitative case study of Cleveland's Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization (DSCDO) and its signature effort to revitalize the Gordon Square Arts District. DSCDO evolved from a low-capacity organization focused on basic maintenance, public safety, and community organizing into a high-capacity community development corporation that embraces the nexus of arts and preservation to propel both the neighborhood and organization forward.","PeriodicalId":51982,"journal":{"name":"Change Over Time-An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment","volume":"8 1","pages":"32 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75284966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
