Placemaking and Community-Building among Lesbian, Bisexual, and Queer (LBQ) Women and Non-Binary People during the Covid-19 Pandemic

- This paper draws on data collected through in-depth interviews with multi-generational participants recruited from various online sites to explore the place-making strategies among lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women and trans- and gender-non-conforming people (tgncp) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Historically denied public space, placemaking in immaterial space (i.e., digital spaces) has been essential to the production and maintenance of communities for LBQ women and tgncp. Because these populations rely on non-traditional placemaking strategies that are not always instantiated in material space, sociologists often overlook their efforts to create place for themselves. This paper corrects this omission by exploring how communities create place through the deployment of subcultural capital onto immaterial space. Introducing four main strategies of community placemaking, material-constant communities, material-transient communities, immaterial-constant communities, and immaterial-transient communities, this article expands sociological conceptions of space to accommodate the placemaking strategies of marginalized communities who might lack the economic and political resources to foster communities in material spaces. Beyond the investigation of lesbian-queer placemaking, this research contributes to the growing sociological literature exploring the multifaceted, fluid, contested, and ephemeral nature of place and placemaking in the context of increasing Internet use.

Nontranscribed spacer sequences promote in vitro transcription of Drosophila ribosomal DNA
Date: 1982-11-11
Creator: Bruce D. Kohorn, Peter M.m. Rae

- Tandem repeats of ribosomal RNA transcription units in Drosophila melanogaster are separated by a nontranscribed spacer that is comprised in part of serial repeats of a 0.24 kb sequence. DNA sequence analysis shows that such repeats are imperfect copies of a region that includes the site of in vivo rRNA transcription initiation (ca. -240 to +30). Subclones of the rDNA spacer that are copies of the sequence extending from -34 through the initiation site support detectable in vitro transcription in a mixture involving a Drosophila cell-free extract, but accurate in vitro transcription is considerably enhanced when a nontranscribed spacer template includes a copy of the sequence extending upstream of -34. From a comparison of the sequence and transcription template-effectiveness of various rDNA subclones, we infer that a major promoter of RNA polymerase I activity lies between -150 and -30 in the rDNA nontranscribed spacer. The nontranscribed spacer copies of the initiation region are less effective templates for transcription than is the region of in vivo initiation and there are differences between spacer repeates and the authentic sequence downstream of -240 that may account for this. © 1982 IRL Press Limited.
