Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le champ de la géographie des sexualités et contribue plus précisément au champ des géographies queers. Elle étudie la manière dont sont pensés les lieux queers en commençant par les définir, explorant la manière dont ils s’organisent de manière rhizomatique. Les personnes queers créent des lieux à travers des constellations de personnes qui se regroupent autour d’un rapport spécifique au genre et à la sexualité ainsi qu’autour d’un discours politique queer. Après avoir fait l’archéologie de ces milieux, une étude sera menée sur la violence que vivent les personnes queers dans l’espace public jusque dans les espaces privés. La violence systémique est décrite par l’analyse des rapports de domination et des normes. Les violences intracommunautaires sont ensuite étudiées. L’auteur.e propose finalement une critique des espaces queers sécurisés (safe space) pour proposer une autre conception des lieux par la construction d’espaces bienveillants. La méthodologie de la thèse est fondée sur l’observation participante, l’auto-ethnographie ainsi qu’un questionnaire et des entretiens venant compléter les sources. Un accent a été mis sur la réflexivité de la recherche, notamment sur le travail émotionnel que doit faire le chercheur.e face à ce type de terrain. / This thesis is a contribution to the geographies of sexualities and more specifically to queer geographies. It first seeks to understand how queer places are created by the many ways they are defined, though of, and organized in their rhizomatic pattern. Self-defined queer people have indeed a tendency to create places through the gathering of an array of persons who are connected by a particular relationship to gender, sexuality, as well as by the political component of the queer discourse. Focusing next on the “milieux de vie” that emerged from this loose network of places, the research looks at the systematic violence exerted against queer people in the public and private space. This phenomenon is seen and explained through a set of norms and domination patterns occurring at different levels and scales in society. Violence within the communities is finally studied. The author concludes in examining and in offering a critic of the concept of safe space, which lay the ground for the proposal of the construction of espaces bienveillants (derived from the concept of brave place). The study was conducted through participant observations, auto-ethnographic method, on-line surveys and direct conversations. Reflexivity was at the center of the field work, the author insists most notably on the emotional work researcher faces in this type of research.

In a concrete or symbolic way, it pervades the daily lives of many women who have experienced domestic violence situations. Once socially constructed, man is placed in an unequal position of power, these actions are often trivialized and reinforced by a society that is marked by patriarchy. Gender inequalities reinforce violence against women. My practice shows that many of these women seek help in religion, more specifically with their religious leaders who, in addition to agreeing with the violence that woman has lived, reinforce it through their religious beliefs. The cases seen at Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC attest that many women do not break the violence cycle because they belong to some religious institution and hear from their leaders discourses that legitimize submission and violence against women. This research intends to identify and analyze the Christianity influence in the violent family relations of Catholic and Evangelical women hosted in Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC and the same religious groups' perpetrators of violence against women. We will try to understand the violence consequences in these women's life, as well as to identify religion's influence in the masculine exercise of aggression and in the subjection of women to aggression. To approach these women, we chose two Reference Centers for Women's Care: “Marcia Dangremon” and “Vem Maria” as a field of this research. In order to approach the perpetrators of violence against women, we chose Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social – CREAS de São Bernardo do Campo. / A violência doméstica é um fenômeno que nos preocupa. De forma concreta ou simbólica, ela perpassa o cotidiano de muitas mulheres que vivenciam situações de violência doméstica. Uma vez que construída socialmente, ao homem é posta uma posição desigual de poder, e estas ações muitas vezes são banalizadas e reforçadas por uma sociedade que é marcada pelo patriarcalismo. As desigualdades de gênero reforçam a violência contra as mulheres. A minha prática demonstra que muitas destas mulheres buscam ajuda na religião, mais especificamente com seus líderes religiosos, que, em sua maioria, além de compactuar com a violência vivida, a reforçam através de suas crenças religiosas. Os casos atendidos nas Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC atestam que muitas mulheres não rompem com o ciclo da violência, pelo fato de pertencerem a uma instituição religiosa e ouvirem de seus líderes discursos que legitimam a submissão e a violência contra as mulheres. Esta pesquisa pretende identificar e analisar a influência do cristianismo nas relações familiares violentas de mulheres católicas e evangélicas religiosas acolhidas nas Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC e de autores da violência contra as mulheres dos mesmos grupos religiosos. Procuraremos compreender as consequências da violência na vida dessas mulheres, bem como identificar a influência da religião no exercício masculino da agressão e na sujeição feminina à agressão. Como campo desta pesquisa escolhemos dois Centros de Referência de Atendimento à Mulher: “Marcia Dangremon” e “Vem Maria”, para abordagem com as mulheres. E o Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social – CREAS de São Bernardo do Campo, para a abordagem com os autores de violência contra as mulheres.
