Abstract [en]

This research project is an ethnographic qualitative study of femme and queer collectives in the Parisian underground electronic music scene. It examines their ways of reclaiming space in the music field through the rejection of capitalist and patriarchal structures. Using Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology, we addressed the way in which some bodies can be othered by not following the accepted paths of normativity. Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews, netnography and participant observation we explored the collectives’ responses to the inequalities and barriers experienced in the male-dominated techno culture and how these actions created possibilities for queerer modes of organizing.  Thus, we observed an organization of space in which bodies could embrace intersectionality and be free of predetermined orientations. We argue that due to their aesthetic choices and ideological beliefs, the collectives were able to create ephemeral spaces of party founded on liquidarity, a mix of intimacy and solidarity that manages to form a sense of cohesion within a heterogenous and unconnected dancing crowd. These feelings of togetherness can be attributed to the support mechanisms and risk reduction tools put into place by the collectives that allow marginalized bodies to move freely through these caring spaces.
