Sexuality and Space

Sexuality and Space

The essays collected in Sexuality and Space, edited by Beatriz Colomina, focus on the relationships between sexuality and space hidden within everyday practices. Leading with the statement that "politics of space are always sexual, even if space is central to the mechanisms of the erasure of sexuality," the volume "identifies precisely these kinds of close relationships between sexuality and space hidden within everyday practices, many of which appear to be concerned neither with space or sexuality." Beatriz Colomina calls for architecture "to be thought of as a system of representation in the same way we think of drawings, photographs, models, film, or television" and for the body "to be understood of political construct, a product of such systems of representation rather than the means by which we encounter them." The book collects the papers presented at a conference titled “Sexuality and Space" at Princeton University in March 1990.
