Editorial 39

Abstract

Closing 2019, the 39th issue of CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios covers a wide range of articles that call upon an attentive reading. The thematic dossier, “Queering the City: Spatiality and Territoriality of LGBT Lives in the Cities of Southern Europe and the Global South”, organized by Pedro Costa and Simone Amorim as guest editors, could not be more inspiring, either because of the theme itself or the opportunity to shed more light on how cities relate (or do not) to Queer and LGBT identities. This dossier comprises an essay, two articles and an interview. Materials that together provide an illustrative and very interesting overview about Queer and LGBT reality in diverse territorial contexts, like Brazil, Italy, Spain and Portugal, allowing for a broad setting perspective.
