When women's freedom is as important as safety: How does Newcastle Upon Tyne afford the feminist right to the city?

由于对城市空间中基于性别的暴力的恐惧继续渗透到城市生活的体验中，并且仍然是许多妇女关于城市体验的谈话的主要特征，拟议的项目探讨了泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔基于性别的暴力的观点。作为一个城市的公民自豪感丰富的历史，可以追溯到20世纪60年代的规划举措，值得探讨如何以及纽卡斯尔提供了“城市的权利”，由空间社会学家亨利列费夫尔，为所有公民概述。因此，拟议的项目采取了一种跨部门的女权主义观点，以摆脱对基于性别的城市暴力的恐惧。与改革主义的规划模式相反，为了寻求“公正的城市”，拟议的项目采取了另一种方法，通过审查基层女权主义活动团体在纽卡斯尔妇女的城市生活经验，提出城市正义和目前受压迫者所表达的基于性别的暴力的观点。为此，拟议的项目采用定性研究方法，以描绘纽卡斯尔妇女在城市司法方面的丰富经验。这些包括自动摄影，焦点小组和步行采访，以保持以参与者为中心的方法，并通过探索在英国城市丰富的社区，自豪感和团结中发生的事情，为社会学中基于性别的城市暴力的辩论做出贡献。

With the fear of gender-based violence in urban space continuing to penetrate the experience of city life and remaining a dominant feature of conversation regarding the city experience for many women, the proposed project explores the perspectives on genderbased violence in Newcastle Upon Tyne. As a city rich history of civic pride, dating back to the planning initiatives of the 1960's, it is worth exploring how well Newcastle affords a 'right to the city', as outlined by spatial sociologist Henri Lefebvre, for all its citizens. As such, the proposed project takes an intersectional feminist perspective on achieving liberation from fear of gender-based urban violence. In opposition to the reformist models of planning, in search of a 'just city', the proposed project takes an alternative approach, by examining the experiences of urban life for women in Newcastle from grassroots feminist activist groups to put forward the perspective of urban justice and gender-based violence from those who are currently oppressed, as articulated by them. To do so, the proposed project employs qualitative research methods, to afford the portrayal of womens rich experience of urban justice in Newcastle. These include auto-photography, focus groups and walking-interviews to maintain a participant-centric methodology and contribute to debates on gender-based urban violence in sociology by exploring what is happening on the ground in a UK city rich in community, pride, and togetherness.
