There has been much recent attention to the relationship between the construction of place, identity, and the body. This paper examines some of these themes in a presentation of the gay leather scene in Stockholm, Sweden. Based on ethnography of Stockholm's only true leather club, it shows how identity and spatial location are implicated in one another. It also looks at social and cultural processes of containment and dispersion within leather culture, the creation of erotic bodies, and forms of erotic interaction. These processes are seen as reflecting features of the wider Swedish gay scene and society in general, which is sometimes less tolerant than it is imagined to be. Aspects of current and possible future transformations of leather culture and style are also briefly considered.
最近，人们对场所构建、身份认同与身体之间的关系给予了诸多关注。本文在介绍瑞典斯德哥尔摩的男同性恋皮革场景时探讨了其中的一些主题。基于对斯德哥尔摩唯一一家正宗皮革俱乐部的人种志研究，本文展示了身份认同与空间位置是如何相互关联的。它还审视了皮革文化中包容与传播的社会和文化过程、情欲身体的塑造以及情欲互动的形式。这些过程被视为反映了更广泛的瑞典同性恋场景乃至整个社会的特征，而瑞典社会有时并不像人们想象的那么包容。本文还简要考虑了皮革文化与风格当前及未来可能的转变。
