ABSTRACT

This article examines the role of volleyball spaces in the lives of young queer people who live in informal settlements in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Drawing from five years of ethnographic fieldwork and a series of co-mapping activities with young people, I suggest that volleyball spaces, both real and imagined, critically serve as black queer spaces in an otherwise heteropatriarchal, classist, and homophobic urban context. Black queer volleyball spaces function as critical infrastructure that reject the logics of the modern colonial system by serving as spaces of refuge, spaces of refusal and spaces of possibility.

与年轻人一起规划现在与未来：多米尼加共和国圣多明各的黑人酷儿排球空间

摘要

本文探讨了排球空间在多米尼加共和国圣多明各非正规住区的年轻酷儿生活中的作用。根据五年的民族志田野调查和一系列与年轻人共同绘制地图的活动，我认为排球空间，无论是真实的还是想象的，在异父权制、阶级主义和恐同的城市环境中批判性地充当黑人酷儿空间。黑人酷儿排球空间作为重要的基础设施，通过充当避难空间、拒绝空间和可能性空间来拒绝现代殖民体系的逻辑。
