N2  - The figure of the resident is privileged in discussions about nightlife governance. But the 'right to the city' extends to those who use the city, and popular opposition to the lockout concerns questions of access to public space on the part of those marginalised from these policy equations. Opponents of the lockout object to qualitative transformations in the cultural atmosphere of the city. This article argues that nightlife is of greater value than governmental measures about the prevention of violence capture. Of particular significance are the constitutive omissions of the category of 'alcohol-related violence'. A better analysis would investigate the attraction of 'liminal experience' that may prompt violence on the part of certain participants. It appears that certain gendered identities have not been well equipped to handle difference. At a time of reduced support for sex and gender diversity education, the state must get better at modelling capacities to live with difference.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
