The article presents a queer reflection on the method of Walter Benjamin in Johannesburg, South Africa. Using a critical method of ephemera collection and collage, it offers a layered and provocative map of the city before the end of apartheid and at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. The notion of “cruising,” an anachronistic theoretical mode, is applied to one iconic club, the Dungeon. Through archival research, oral histories with elder gay and lesbian Johannesburg residents, and personal reflection and cruising anecdotes, the article reflects on the process of queer archival work.

巡航酷儿，老约堡

这篇文章对南非约翰内斯堡的Walter Benjamin的方法提出了奇怪的思考。它使用短命收集和拼贴的一种重要方法，在种族隔离结束之前和艾滋病流行开始之前，提供了该城市的分层且具有挑衅性的地图。“巡游”这一不合时宜的理论模式的概念被应用于一个标志性的俱乐部，地牢。通过档案研究，与约翰内斯堡男女长老的口述历史以及个人反思和巡游轶事，文章反思了酷儿档案工作的过程。
