In this article, part of a broader reflection carried out by Sara Ahmed in her book "Queer Phenomenology" (2004), the British researcher and activist brings together the classics of phenomenology and queer studies to propose an articulation between the sexualization of spatial perception and the spatialization of sexuality that is productive for both fields of study. She takes the category of "orientation" and its uses to signify both awareness of existential situationality and the direction of desire to develop the argument that our ways of apprehending and signifying experience are intersected by the cisheteronorm that shapes worlds and bodies and interdicts horizons of possibility. Her argument for a queer phenomenology is based less on establishing a queer way of shaping existence as an object of analysis, and more on an inventive commitment to a multiplicity of lines of escape and deviation from familiar conventions of existence.
