Abstract
Description
This thesis critiques the Creative Class's attraction to urban "authenticity" through the lenses of phenomenology and affect theory, particularly drawing on Deleuze, to interrogate its role in the gentrification of urban spaces. It argues that the Creative Class’s gentrification of New York City has had a detrimental impact on queer spaces and venues. Engaging with Michel Foucault’s work—specifically "The History of Sexuality" (1976) and "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison" (1975)—this thesis explores how Creative Class gentrification operates within Foucauldian frameworks, including "disciplinary power" and the "deployment of sexuality."
