Studies on the East Village of New York City and its gentrification in the 1980s have been generally concentrated on the history of power struggle between the residents and the real estate capital that treated the neighborhood as new sources of interests. Using a few recent literature scholarships that tried to start conversation with sociological studies as stepping stones, this paper argues that the history of the East Village in the nineteen-eighties needs to be rewritten in the perspectives of the lesbian community that produced the area as its own space. One of the precious queer archives of the time, Sarah Schulman¡¯s Girls, Visions and Everything, documents a lesbian artist community defined by its geography and performative practices. This article terms the collectivity of these lesbian avant-garde artists as ¡°reflexivity,¡± following Scott Lash¡¯s explanation of reflexive community. Gentrification, on the other hand, one of the major subjects from the former sociological studies, has been often defined mostly with the economic terms and later also with its cultural meanings, yet this study attempts to expand the demarcation of the word and redefine it as the invasion of the white heterosexual middle class sensibility of homogeneity both to the physical and emotional spaces of the others. As Schulman insists in her explications of ¡°gentrified feeling¡± and ¡°gentrified happiness¡± in The Gentrification of the Mind, this broadly redefined ¡°gentrification¡± designates various tendencies of cleaning out the uncomfortable differences and otherness under the name of efficiency and self-contentment.
