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经历中，并且仍然是许多女性关于城市经历的谈话的主要特征，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。作为一个拥有丰富公民自豪感历史的城市，可以追溯到20世纪60年代的规划倡议，值得探索的是，正如空间社会学家亨利·列斐伏尔（Henri Lefebvre）所概述的那样，纽卡斯尔如何为所有公民提供“城市权利”。因此，拟议的项目采用了交叉的女权主义观点，以实现从基于性别的城市暴力的恐惧中解放出来。与改革派的规划模式相反，为了寻找一个“公正的城市”，拟议的项目采取了另一种方法，通过从基层女权主义活动团体中研究纽卡斯尔妇女的城市生活经验，提出城市正义和基于性别的暴力的观点，这些观点来自那些目前受到压迫的人，正如他们所阐述的那样。为此，拟议的项目采用定性研究方法，描绘了纽卡斯尔妇女在城市司法方面的丰富经验。这些方法包括自动摄影、焦点小组和步行访谈，以保持以参与者为中心的方法论，并通过探索英国这个充满社区、自豪感和团结的城市正在发生的事情，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.
