Petrarca, Ronald. "Anton Nyström's Defense of Homosexuality." Thesis, Högskolan Dalarna, Historia, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:du-5170.
Full textAbstract:
In 1919 Anton Nyström became the first person in Sweden to publish a comprehensive defense of homosexuality. He believed that its classification as a mental illness was erroneous and that Sweden's law against homosexual sex was both irrational and cruel. Nyström was a physician whose work in the medical area dealt primarily with dermatology, psychiatry and human sexuality; however he was also a prolific historian, who took a staunchly anti-Christian view in his analysis of how Christianity affected European culture, especially in the area of sexual morality. In fact, much of Nyström's medical texts dealing with human sexuality consisted of anti-Christian cultural and historical commentary. The object of this "C-uppsats" is to analyze Nyström's pamphlet, Om Homosexualitet och Hermafroditi: Belysning af Missförstådda Existenser and illustrate how its defensive structure was consistent with the pattern used by the author in his other books and articles on human sexuality. Specifically, that irrational and neurotic Christian beliefs caused both mental and physical suffering and were the source of deleterious forms of morality. Additionally, this paper will also show that the solution Nyström had for the problem of negative and erroneous attitudes towards homosexuality was to replace the sodomitic view of homosexuality with one based upon a more rational and naturalistic belief system, the basis of which could be found in the pre-Christian cultures of Europe, most especially in Greece. This new conception was to be constructed primarily out of historical example and cultural analyses. For Nyström, history writing was used both as a weapon to fight the source of negative attitudes towards homosexuality, as well as a tool that could be used to build a positive cultural model which would be beneficial for homosexuals.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the ways in which male homosexuality came to be closely associated with urban life between 1885 and 1914. It focuses on London and argues that particular aspects of the city's history and reputation were integral to the social, sexual and political aspects of emerging homosexual identities. The thesis draws on literature, sexology, the largely overlooked diaries and scrapbooks of George Ives (an early campaigner for homosexual law reform), and previously unexamined newspaper reports. The first chapter outlines changes to London during the period, and examines the intensification of concerns about poverty, degeneracy, decadence and sexual profligacy. The chapters that follow show how these changes and concerns informed understanding and expressions of homosexuality. Chapter two looks at the history of homosexuality in London, and indicates the significance of urban change in shaping patterns of behaviour. Chapter three examines legislation, the ways in which men were policed and surveyed in London, and newspaper accounts of court cases. Chapter four shows how sexology strengthened and elaborated this connection between homosexuality and the city. The last two chapters consider material written by, and explicitly or implicitly concerning, men involved in homosexual activity. Chapter five discusses how the city provided an ideal locale for a decadent understanding of desire, and the final chapter focuses on writing that attempted to counter this decadence with an appeal to Hellenism and pastoralism. It shows how the city was envisaged as a locus for the formation of political and sexual identities that might initiate a process of social change.

Full textAbstract:
Sodomy and buggery are two elements of the wide historical and literary problematic of the Gay Past. During the French Renaissance, many images were closely related to unnatural vices: hermaphroditism, representation of the foreigner, effeminacy, and so on. In order to avoid anachronical statements, our study will be preceded by an historical and methodological essay that will bring us to a literary concept, l'imagologie.In many ways, religious reforms in the last decades of the Sixteenth Century added to the complexity of the image of the sodomite. We know that the Holy Bible and religious writings put a stigma on such practices. But the hermaphrodite, the mignon, and some motifs from Antiquity were also known or discovered, transformed or travestied.
Finally, the image of the sodomite built up in French Renaissance literature is neither similar to today's Gay person, nor to an oversimplified figure of a medieval sinner. Its organization and meaning will depend mostly on the type of work in which it appears. Moreover, Italian and North-African epistemologies, and polemics using effeminacy or mollities set-ups add to the complexity of the discursive structure.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined male homosexuality in Spain during the early modern period in the context of social structures, race relations and gender assumptions. Since men who engaged in homosexual activity also contended with issues of status and ethnicity, the analysis focused on the interaction between their sexuality and their public personae. From this baseline, the study also examined public and official attitudes towards homosexual practices and how they shifted on the basis of social hierarchy. Over five hundred sodomy trials from the Aragonese Inquisition were examined, alongside a range of supporting archival and manuscript evidence. The use of sodomy trials allowed for an exploration of attitudes concerning the explosive mix of sexuality and hierarchy in three distinctive groups: the people of cities and towns who accused individuals of sodomy, the inquisitors who tried the latter, and the accused themselves. The analysis showed that early modern men defined sexuality on the basis of gender assumptions that upheld the masculinity of the active, usually older partner. The combination of a masculinity of penetrative sexuality and status within the community meant that homosexuality could both uphold or subvert hierarchies depending on the social identities of the active and passive partners in intercourse. Moreover, Aragonese people displayed a tendency to denounce outsiders to their communities. Inquisitorial judges, however, while demonstrating leniency towards these targets of popular persecution, reserved the harshest punishments for those who specifically challenged order by engaging in active sodomy with a social superior. These two differing strategies that separated the objectives of accusers from those of judges highlight the heterogeneous and diffuse nature of the process by which differing groups sought to impose particular views of required social order. Homosexuality in early modern Aragon emerges as a space that tested the boundaries of hierarchy and also reflected the structure of the social milieu that contextualized it.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation tracks how urban police tactics against homosexuality participated in the construction, ratification, and dissemination of authoritative public knowledge about gay men in the United States in the twentieth century. Focusing on three prominent sites of anti-homosexual policing—the enforcement of state liquor regulations, plainclothes decoy campaigns to make solicitation arrests, and clandestine surveillance of public bathrooms—it examines how municipal police availed themselves of competing bodies of social scientific information about homosexuality in order to bolster their enforcement efforts, taking into account such variable factors as the statutes authorizing their arrests, the humors of the courts, and their need to maintain public legitimacy. Lending the authority of the state to their preferred paradigms for understanding sexual deviance, and attaching direct legal penalties to anyone who tried to disagree, the police influenced whether—and when—new scientific research about homosexual men reached the mainstream public and was embraced as authoritative. Even as vice squads’ anti-homosexual campaigns allowed them to amass increasingly sophisticated and rarefied insights into the urban gay world, however, police officers consistently denied their reliance on any “expert” knowledge about homosexuality in court, legitimating their tactics on the basis of public’s ostensibly shared knowledge about gay men. Tracking the history of urban vice policing alongside the shifting landscape of popular knowledge about homosexuality, this project examines both the ambivalent place of “expertise” in public debates about sexual deviance in the United States, and the multifaceted origins and repercussions of the lay public’s evolving knowledge about gay communities in the twentieth century.American Studies

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.This research set out to give a better understanding of gay conscripts within the South African Defence Force (SADF) during the 1970's and 1980's, as well as to establish whether a noticeable change towards gay conscripts could be detected before and after c.1985. Based upon sources from the military archives, oral interviews as well as existing secondary literature on the topic, it becomes clear that aside from the “official line”, both conservative as well as progressive views on homosexuality existed. Even though it can be concluded that attitudes towards homosexuality among civilian South Africans became more permissive during the 1980‟s, it was not a change in attitude shared throughout (white) society. This research has been done firstly to add to the general knowledge of the experiences of gay conscripts in the 1970‟s and 1980‟s within the SADF. It has done so by conducting interviews with fifteen ex-conscripts, both gay and straight, covering anti-gay attitudes, coming out in the army, the existence of queer platoons and/or jobs perceived to be „gay‟, psychiatric treatment of homosexuals and the knowledge of the existence of these treatments, the gay/straight barrier and qualitative personal assessments of the period of conscription. Secondly, it attempts to answer the question whether a change in attitude towards gay conscripts could be seen roughly around 1985, as South African society also became (slowly) more permissive towards homosexuality.

Mills, Bruce L. "The construction of homosexuality in Christian tradition and its influence on the meaning of AIDS: A psychological study." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/7618.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses two fundamental questions: What is the meaning given to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)? Where does the meaning of AIDS come from? In a psychological investigation it appears that the most predominant meaning given to AIDS is homophobic meaning, expressing a profound fear and dread of homosexuality. Homophobia can be traced to two main historical sources. Both of these sources are located within Christian tradition: the Sodom story (Genesis XIX), and discourse on human sexuality originating in the New Testament writing of Paul. These two sources can be shown to influence many attitudes that are expressed in this society towards homosexuality generally and towards the AIDS epidemic in particular. Homophobic attitudes situated in the context of western society seem to exist in close proximity with prevalent Christian definitions of homosexuality. Much of the meaning given to homosexuality within Christian tradition can be followed as it influences moral systems, psychiatry and homosexual experience itself. The understanding of homosexuality which develops in much Christian tradition seems to provide a central point of reference for the ways homosexuality is perceived and experienced. A psychodynamic model also ascertains that homophobia is partially structured in the unconscious as a form of prohibition against homosexual desire. By taking both conscious and unconscious aspects of homophobia into consideration, the meaning of AIDS and some of the sources of this meaning can be put forward. The meanings which predicate the AIDS epidemic are religious and psychological in nature. By taking homophobia apart with the tools of psychological deconstruction, the meaning of AIDS may be approached, and some of the implications of this meaning for society, for Christian tradition and for the homosexual person may be demonstrated.

Full textAbstract:
El objeto de este estudio es un análisis tipológico de los casos en los que se presentan las increíbles excusas que adujeron en sus declaraciones los acusados de haber cometido el pecado o delito de sodomía, considerado por la inquisición como un tipo de herejía, pues contravenía el mandato divino de "creced y multiplicaos". Sólo se puede pensar que esos argumentos eran debidos al miedo que les provocaba el poder ser condenados a los horribles castigos que aplicaba la Inquisición y que eran conocidos por todos, ya que el Santo Oficio los realizaba-salvo casos excepcionales- en público.
Se hace una exposición de los distintos castigos: auto de fe, muerte en la hoguera (relajación), galeras, azotes, destierro y confiscación de bienes y también sólo para los clérigos la disciplina circular y la degradación verbal. Igualmente se hace un análisis de los personajes y circunstancias de estos casos.
Se presentan 638 causas de sodomía, que se dieron en los tribunales de la Inquisición en la Corona de Aragón, ubicados en Barcelona (115 casos), Valencia (222 casos) y Zaragoza (301 casos). Dichos tribunales fueron los únicos que tuvieron competencias para juzgar a los acusados de haber cometido el pecado nefando.
Se hace una exposición de las prácticas homosexuales y su valoración, sobre todo en Creta, Grecia y Roma, donde eran lícitas hasta que llegó su represión con la caída del Imperio Romano. A partir de entonces los concilios y sínodos se ocuparon de reprimirlas. Se citan los concilios celebrados desde el siglo IV d.C. Hasta el siglo XVI, con los correspondientes cánones. También se hace mención de leyes civiles y fueros que atañen a la represión de la sodomía.
En este trabajo se hace una presentación de la historia de la Inquisición Medieval y de la Inquisición Moderna, de sus modos de actuación y se da una visión general de la sociedad que habitaba en la Corona de Aragón desde mediados del siglo XVI.

Bond, Richard P. "Sexual Orientation and the Advanced Placement Art History Survey." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2014. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc700015/.
Full textAbstract:
This two-part study included a content analysis of an AP art history text and a survey together with interviews with AP art history teachers that embraced both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The first phase of the study examined one of the more popular art history survey texts in the AP art history program, Gardner’s Art through the Ages, in terms of how inclusive it is in addressing issues of sexual orientation and, particularly, same-sex perspectives. In addition, the text was examined for evidence of sexual orientation ignored – particularly same-sex perspectives ignored and for heteronormative hegemonies. The second phase investigated the understandings and opinions of AP art history teachers toward the inclusion of sexual orientation and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums and classrooms. Recent recognition of gay, lesbian, and same-sex perspectives in the study of art history has challenged art educators and art historians to begin to consider opening up their curriculums and writings to include these perspectives. These ignored perspectives produce important understandings that enrich and deepen the discourse of art history. The inclusion of gay and lesbian content and same-sex perspectives to the study of AP art history, not only effectively serves the needs of AP art history teachers, but it provides a more equitable and comprehensive visual arts education to students. The implications of this study are broad and complex. If students are to be well and comprehensively educated in the history of the visual arts, including discussions about the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian artists as well as artworks depicting same-sex perspectives is important. Similarly, their teachers must be well-informed and believe that including such material in the curriculum is important. There is definitely a need for designing more balanced and equitable AP art history programs that include gay and lesbian artists as well as same-sex perspectives. From a multicultural art education perspective, this study reveals that gays and lesbians are marginalized in a major AP art history survey text. It illuminates how an AP art history survey text and AP art history teachers’ attitudes and knowledge base on same-sex perspectives inform their curriculums, specifically concerning what’s important to teach in an AP art history classroom. If approved AP art history survey texts as well as the influential annual AP College Board art history exam included issues of sexual orientation, particularly same-sex perspectives, it would encourage more AP art history teachers to include gay and lesbian artists and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis offers a reappraisal of the process of 'liberation' for homosexual men in France from the events of May 1968 until the onset of the AIDS crisis in 1983. I argue that what we have come to call gay liberation was in fact a complex and contentious process of transformation in the place of homosexual men in French society, a decade marked as much by continuity as it was by change. Gay liberation has been previously understood as a political movement that brought the gay man onto the political stage in spectacular fashion, beginning in the US and sweeping across Western Europe. New political activism is said to have provoked the changes that led to legal equality, culminating in recent marriage legislation. This narrative has solidified into a liberation 'mythology', written mainly by activists themselves, replete with its founding events, language and metaphors. A re-evaluation of the 1970s as a historical moment reveals not the beginning of a triumphant march to equality led by activists, but a transformation in the place of homosexual men in society that contains its own fits and starts, successes and dead ends. The thesis is divided into three parts: Ruptures, continuities and life stories. Part one focuses on aspects of change, the emergence of radical political groups and the burgeoning market catering to gay men. The second part moves to aspects of continuity: the repression of homosexual activity and the persistent stereotyping of homosexuality as the realm of a Parisian literary elite. To close the thesis, part three uses oral history to consider the life stories of men who experienced the period.

Full textAbstract:
Des jouets roses « pour filles », aux innombrables représentations de femmes en rose, « le rose c’est pour filles » est un constat et une affirmation performative, c’est-à-dire autoréalisatrice. Il est à la fois un symbole de féminité, et il associe au féminin tout ce qu’il colore. Partant du désir de comprendre les origines et les modalités de l’association du rose à la féminité, la thèse s’attache à déployer une histoire de cette couleur depuis les premiers colorants roses, en passant par le XVIIIe siècle, une histoire de ses symboliques liées — ou non — au genre, de ses usages et de ces mésusages, de ses rejets et de ses appropriations. À l’intersection des études de genre et des études sur la couleur, elle met en évidence les idéologies sous-jacentes aux emplois du rose, et leurs répercussions sur les femmes, mais aussi les hommes, en termes de construction identitaire et de rapports sociaux. Employé dans les arts visuels, comme dans le cinéma, les jeux vidéo, la mode ou le marketing, le rose participe au processus de catégorisation de genre à travers son esthétisation et la répétition de stéréotypes. Porté par des hommes, il connote l’efféminement, voire l’homosexualité, confirmant son lien au féminin par son incompatibilité symbolique au masculin. Les tentatives militantes de réappropriation du rose comme emblème par luttes féministes, gayes ou queeres, ne parviennent pas à se défaire de son lien à la féminité, et le renforcent paradoxalement. Le rose se révèle ainsi être une technologie de genre, telle que la définit Teresa de Lauretis : sa représentation est sa constructionFrom pink toys to countless representations of women in pink, “pink is for girls” is both fact and performative assertion — that is to say a self-fulfilling one. It is both a feminine symbol and associates everything it colours with femininity. Stemming from the desire to understand the origins and modalities of the association of pink with femininity, this thesis endeavours to follow the history of the colour since the first pink dyes, with a focus on the eighteenth century during which pink grew in popularity; a history of its symbolism linked — or not — to gender, its uses and misuses, its rejections and appropriations. At the intersection of gender studies and colour studies, this thesis highlights the ideologies underlying the use of pink, and their repercussions on both women and men, in terms of identity construction and social relations. Present throughout the visual arts, as well as in cinema, video games, fashion and marketing, pink participates in the process of gender categorisation through its aestheticisation and repetition of stereotypes. When worn by men, it connotes effeminacy, even homosexuality, confirming its feminine link through its symbolic incompatibility with the masculine. Militant attempts to reappropriate pink as an emblem by feminist, gay or queer communities have not managed to erase pink’s link to femininity, and paradoxically have reinforced it. Pink is thus revealed as a technology of gender, as defined by Teresa de Lauretis: its representation is its construction

This project explores the history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland from 1973 to 1993. Using primary archival material and oral interviews it challenges the current historical narrative which presupposes that gay and lesbian activism in Ireland was confined to a legal battle to decriminalise sexual activity between males and confined to the activities of one man, David Norris. The project broadens the campaign for gay rights in Ireland to include other individuals, organisations, concerns, aims, strategies, and activities outside Dublin. In particular, the thesis demonstrates the extent to which there were numerous gay and lesbian organisations throughout Ireland which utilised the media, the trade union movement, student movement and support from international gay/lesbian organisations to mount an effective campaign to improve both the legal and social climate for Ireland’s gay and lesbian citizens. While politicians in recent years have claimed credit for the dramatic changes in attitudes to homosexuality in Ireland, this project demonstrates the extent to which these dramatic changes were pioneered, not my politicians, but rather by gay and lesbian activists throughout Ireland, in both urban and provincial regions, since the 1970s. The project considered the emergence of a visible gay community in Ireland and its impact on changing perceptions of homosexuals; the important role played by lesbian women; the role of provincial gay/lesbian activists; the extent to which HIV/AIDS impacted the gay rights campaign in Ireland; and how efforts to interact with the Roman Catholic Church, political parties, and other important stakeholders shaped the strategies of gay/lesbian organisations. Homosexuals are revolting: A history of gay and lesbian activism in the Republic of Ireland, 1973-1993, reveals the extent to which gay and lesbian activists were important agents of social and political change in Ireland, particularly in terms of Irish sexual mores and gender norms. This project helps to contextualise the dramatic changes in relation to homosexuality that have taken place in recent years in Ireland and encourages scholars to further explore the contribution of Ireland’s queer citizens to the transformation of Ireland in the twentieth- and twentieth-first century.

Résumé: Le génocide nazi a été une des grandes catastrophes qui ont marqué le 20ème siècle. Les homosexuels ont été l'un des groupes qui ont été persécutés et assassinés. Après la guerre, en raison des lois qui étaient encore en vigueur contre eux, ceux qui ont survécu ont été incapables de fournir leur témoignage et de dire ce qui s'était passé durant cette période. Cela n'a été possible quelques décennies plus tard, lorsque de telles lois n'existent plus et les homosexuels ont plus de visibilité, et il était donc possible de parler. Un témoignage important de ce groupe est l'autobiographie d'un survivant français, Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel. Dans son oeuvre, on peut observer certains points de ce genre de récit testimonial, comme, par exemple, les questions de la dénonciation et de la violence. Toutefois, l'homosexualité apporte quelques différences. L'une est la distance temporelle entre l'événement et l'écriture. De nombreuses années ont passé après la fin du régime, alors son récit ne rend pas seulement une dénonciation du système nazi, mais aussi de la période d'après-guerre. Dans son livre, il raconte la difficulté que les homosexuels avaient passé au fil des ans et aussi la difficulté à reconnaître ce groupe comme une victime du régime hitlérien
Resumo: O genocídio nazista foi uma das grandes catástrofes que marcaram o século XX. Entre os grupos perseguidos e assassinados estavam os homossexuais. Após o final da guerra, devido às leis que ainda estavam em vigor contra eles, os que sobreviveram não puderam prestar seu testemunho e contar o que havia passado nesse período. Isso só foi possível décadas depois, quando tais leis deixaram de existir e os homossexuais passaram a ter mais visibilidade, sendo, assim, possível falar. Um importante testemunho desse grupo é a autobiografia de um sobrevivente francês, Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel ("Eu, Pierre Seel, deportado homossexual", sem tradução para o português). Em sua obra, podemos vislumbrar as principais características desse tipo de narrativa testemunhal, como, por exemplo, a questão da denúncia e da violência sofrida. No entanto, sua homossexualidade traz algumas diferenças. Uma delas é a distância temporal entre o evento e a escrita. Passados muitos anos após o fim do regime, sua narrativa não só faz uma denúncia ao sistema nazista, como também ao período pós-guerra. Em seu livro, narra a dificuldade enfrentada pelos homossexuais ao longo dos anos e a dificuldade de reconhecimento desse grupo como vítima do regime de Hitler
Abstract: The Nazi genocide was one of the major disasters that marked the 20th century. The homosexuals were one of the groups that were persecuted and murdered. After the war, due to laws that were still in force against them, those who survived were unable to provide their testimony and tell what had passed in that period. This was only possible some decades later, when such laws no longer exist and homosexuals had more visibility, and therefore it was possible to speak. An important testimony of this group is the autobiography of a French survivor, Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel ("I, Pierre Seel, deported homosexual", without translation into Portuguese). In his work, we can observe some points of this kind of testimonial narrative, for example, the issues of the denunciation and of the violence. However, the homosexuality brings some differences. One is the temporal distance between the event and the writing. Many years had passed after the end of the regime, so his narrative not only makes a complaint to the Nazi system, but also to the postwar period. In his book, he recounts the difficulty that homosexuals had passed over the years and also the difficulty about recognizing this group as a victim of Hitler's regime

Gay Power! A Study of Male Homosexuality and Identity Politics in the Swedish GayPress 1971–1986 In this essay, the author examines the sexual policy ideas behind the Swedish gaymagazine Revolt in order to describe one aspect of the history of ideas about male homosexuality in Sweden. In particular, the study emphasize the social and cultural creation of meaning, as well as constructions of a homosexual male subject. The author has here focused on the ideas and theories that governed and influenced the magazine in a certain direction during the examined period 1971–1986. The overall purpose has been to study the gay press's perception of homosexuality, and what values about same sex-sexuality that have emerged in the material. The author distinguishes between two kinds of directions of ideas who have affected the magazine. One was the ideology of sexual liberalism, where the ambition was to break the silence and stigma when talking about sex in general, especially homosexuality. Within the framework of sexual liberalism, the magazine has intended to depict the many facets of homosexuality in words and images. The other direction was more focused on conducting identity politics where the sexual practice was dimmed to instead give preference to issues that valued a creation of a homosexual identity. The construction of such an identity has primarily been about creating cohesion and continuity among gay men, in order to strengthen the homosexual community inwards. But the identity politics has also implied a normalization of homosexuality. Likewise, it has limited the scope for sexual variations in relation to the creation of a homosexual subjectivity. By the mid-1980s, the identity politics had become so strong that Revolt came to be a magazine for gay men specifically, and earlier liberal ideas of sexuality became almost alienated. The male homosexuality became here an object of moralizing where some sexual practices were problematized and even made incomprehensible in the light of social changes in the homosexual community and in the society in general.

Full textAbstract:
Vatican II was one of the most seminal councils in Roman Catholic Church history, having far reaching effects on the universal institution.1 One of the most important outcomes of Vatican II was not the reforming of orthopraxy, but the dialogue that developed regarding three specific issues – the transforming of women’s roles in Church life, Catholic sexual ethics, and the Church’s relationship with LGBTQ+ individuals.2 The decades following Vatican II became a new era of religious dialogue among Catholic scholars and theologians, which established new discussions on women’s ordination, sexual ethics, and attitudes towards homosexuality in the contemporary world.
This thesis examines dialogue concerning women’s ordination, as well as the dialogue that developed from Pope John Paul II’s teachings in his Theology of the Body regarding sexual ethics and the agency of queer persons in the Church. It explores the dialogue among scholars and theologians on the changing role and opinion of women in ministerial positions, the shifting understanding of sexual morality, and the changing attitudes towards queer individuals that developed because of Vatican II’s emphasis on discussion.
Vatican II decisively changed the way the Church practices and performs its numerous responsibilities in our modern world. However, the result also included a deeper understanding of the individual needs, ideas, and beliefs of the laity. In 2014, the Vatican’s International Theological Commission referenced the importance of laity’s role as members of the universal Church:
Putting faith into practice in the concrete reality of the existential situations in which he or she is placed by family, professional and cultural relations enriches the personal experience of the believer. It enables him or her to see more precisely the value and the limits of a given doctrine, and to propose ways of refining its formulation. That is why those who teach in the name of the Church should give full attention to the experience of believers, especially lay people, who strive to put the Church’s teaching into practice in the areas of their own specific experience and competence.3
In doing so, greater concern for discussion of these issues developed, which is documented in this thesis.
1 To maintain efficiency within the overall thesis, from this point the term “Roman Catholic Church” will be shortened to “the Church.” This in no way is meant to mean the Catholic Church is the only church but is a way to provide a shortened term for a longer name. It also is not meant to delineate the entirety of the Body of Christ within the religious tradition of Christianity to the Roman Catholic Church.
2 Orthopraxy in this case refers to the correct performance and practice of certain rituals and ritespredominantly found within the Roman Catholic Latin Rite Mass.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is primarily focusing on finding the purpose of Abdullah Buhari’s homoerotic miniature paintings. We may never know for sure the sole purpose and know what Buhari’s intentions was when creating these paintings. By creating categories focusing on homoerotic artwork I have tried to answer that question. To be able to create these categories and to further use them as a tool to analyse and discuss Buhari’s artwork, I have analysed and discussed other homoerotic art from different genres and eras and looked for significant characteristics and elements in these work of art that can be connected to each respective category. To support these characteristics and these different categories I have refered to existing research and literature. Although Buhari is mostly known for his artwork portraying women, I chose his homoerotic art as my main focus. Mainly because I was positively surprised when I first saw them and also because I found the lack of references to these homoerotic art rather puzzling. How come one primarily focus on Buharis portrayal of women and heterosexual relations when talking of him and not those portraying manly relations? Since my main focus in this essay, was to analyse art portraying sexual relations between men, and because there are significantly more sources and studies regarding same sex relationship between men I have chosen not to include work portraying woman and lesbian relationships, although a female perspective will be present to some degree since I identify as female myself.

Full textAbstract:
Rent: Same-Sex Prostitution in Modern Britain, 1885-1957 chronicles the concept of “rent boys” and the men who purchased their services. This dissertation demonstrates how queer identity in Britain, until contemporary times, was largely regulated by class, in which middle-and-upper-class queer men often perceived of working-class bodies as fetishized consumer goods. The “rent boy” was an upper-class queer fantasy, and working-class men sometimes used this fantasy for their own agenda while others intentionally dismantled the “rent boy” trope, refusing to submit to upper-class expectations. This work also explains how the “rent boy” fantasy was eventually relegated to the periphery of queer life during the mid-century movement for decriminalization. The movement was controlled by queer elites who ostracized economic-based and public forms of sex and emphasized the bourgeois sexual mores of their heterosexual counterparts. Sex between adult men in private was decriminalized, but working-class men selling sex suffered harsher laws and more strictly enforced penalties under this new, ostensibly “progressive” legislation.

Full textAbstract:
Sexually themed objects from ancient Greece and Rome have been present in debates about our relationship with the past and with sexuality since they were first brought to modern attention in large numbers in the Enlightenment period. However, modern engagement with this type of material has very often been characterised as problematic. This thesis pushes beyond the story of reactionary censorship of ancient depictions of sex to demonstrate how these images were meaningfully engaged with across intellectual life in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain and America. It makes a significant and timely contribution to our existing knowledge of a key historical period for the development of the modern understanding of sexuality and cultural representations of it, and the central role that antiquity played in negotiating this fundamental aspect of modernity. Crucially, this work demonstrates how sexual antiquities functioned as symbols of pre-Christian sexual, social and political mores, with which to think through, and to challenge, contemporary cultural constructions around sexuality, religion, gender roles and the development of culture itself. It presents evidence of the widespread and prolific acquisition of sexually themed artefacts throughout private and institutional collecting culture. This deliberate seeking out of ancient images of sex is shown to have been motivated by debates on the universal human connection between sex and religion, as part of wider constructions of notions such as ‘culture’ and ‘primitivism’, with Classical material maintaining a central position in these ideas, despite research into increasingly diverse cultures, past and present. The purposeful engagement with sexual imagery from antiquity is also revealed as having acted as a valuable new source of knowledge about ancient sexual life between men which gave new impetus to the negotiation, defence, celebration and promotion of homoerotic desire in contemporary turn of the twentieth century, Western society.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study has been to examine six books about Oscar Wilde’s homosexuality during the years 1906 – 2003. I have been analyzing their descriptions about his sexual orientation and compared them to each other to see the changes through time. In order to see some clear changes the main focus was to choose time differences between the books. It was clear that the earlier writers had negative opinions and thoughts about his sexual deviation the way they described it. The writers from the older books focus on Oscar Wilde’s achievements more than his sexual orientation. The analysis was made through two theories, Michel Foucault’s theories about sexuality, power and knowledge, and the second Raewyn Connell’s theory about hegemonic masculinity. The theories have been fundamental for this study on the basis of the changes through time and how societies viewed masculinity and sexual orientations. They have also been important for the descriptions of Oscar Wilde’s feminine attitude and his addiction to his looks. My method for the essay has been a conceptual analysis. The choice of this method was not hard because it has been important to the comparison and the analysis for the writers’ usage of word descriptions of Oscar Wilde’s homosexuality. The results showed a large amount of resemblances and differences between the books, which can be seen against the background of the society and its view on homosexuality.

This thesis examines the public debate on homosexuality in New Zealand in the period 1960-86. Its focus is primarily on male homosexuality because the central issue was the continued criminalization of male same-sex sexual acts. The thesis notes irresolvable problems of definition of homosexuality involving discussions of behaviour, orientation and identity. Nevertheless, the debate proceeded on a binary basis, that homosexuals and heterosexuals were two clearly defined groups of people. The thesis begins by noting the repression and invisibility of homosexuals in the 1960s. It then explores the origins and significance of the New Zealand Homosexual Law Reform Society and the gay liberation movement. Because of the significance of religion in regard to the debate, a chapter is devoted to major change and cleavage that occurred within the churches relating to homosexuality in the period reviewed. Finally the intense fifteen months of debate that occurred prior to decriminalization of male homosexual activity in July 1986 is studied at depth. The thesis highlights the intensity of feeling that the debate engendered. This was the result of the clash of fundamentally different worldviews and value systems. Behind the particular issue lay the question of the moral and social status of homosexuals and homosexual acts. So fundamental was this division that from both sides the very future of society seemed to be at stake. Worlds were in collision.Note: Thesis now published. Guy, L (2002).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers an insight into a section of the lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender community that has been consistently under-represented in research. Based on data gathered from some 400 lesbians over 60, this study presents the findings of the first comprehensive survey of older lesbian life to be undertaken in the UK. It complements existing LGBT ageing research (Heaphy, Yip and Thompson, 2003; Cronin and King, 2010; Archibald, 2010; Stonewall, 2011), which has focussed more on men than women; and provides substantial data about a population which has frequently been referred to as ‘invisible' and ‘hard to reach' (Berger, 1982; Kehoe, 1986; Deevey, 1990; Heaphy et al., 2003. etc.). As well as providing a detailed picture of older lesbian life in the UK at the beginning of the 21st century, the thesis specifically addresses the following questions: just how ‘invisible' are older lesbians? To what extent do they feel able to respond to the more liberal legal and social climate of the early 21st century by ‘coming out of the closet,' even if they have not done so before? What might be their reasons for staying hidden? do older lesbians conform to the ‘old, sad and alone' stereotype of the ageing homosexual (Dorfman et al., 1995), or to the contrasting view that older non-heterosexuals have built strong support networks (Kehoe, 1988) and offer positive alternative models for ageing (Weeks, Heaphy and Donovan, 2001)? considering that most LGBT ageing research is based on samples containing more men than women, are there aspects of personal history and ontology specific to older lesbians, which have been obscured by research with a more general ‘LGBT' focus? given the wide social, political and economic diversity of the research sample and the variety of their life experiences as revealed by the data, do older lesbians really have anything in common other than their sexual orientation? How useful is the term ‘older lesbian' as an identity category?

Full textAbstract:
On retrace ici le parcours du docteur Alexandre Lacassagne (1843-1924), médecin lyonnais, trajectoire personnelle et scientifique d’un savant de la fin du XIXe siècle, fondateur de l’anthropologie criminelle et d’une école de criminologie passée à la postérité sous le nom d’ « école lyonnaise ». Formé à l’école de santé militaire, il est de cette génération d’hommes et de républicains forgés au feu de la guerre franco-prussienne, de la chute de l’Empire et des débuts de l’aventure coloniale et républicaine. La reconstitution de ses réseaux professionnels, l’étude de ses prises de positions intellectuelles, permet de montrer qu’il est un savant emblématique de son temps. Sa bibliothèque révèle ses états d’âme. L’analyse des ouvrages fait émerger une angoisse récurrente, celle de l’altérité : des criminels bien sûr, mais aussi des femmes, des fous, des invertis, des « primitifs », dont les inquiétantes figures contrastent avec l’image de légèreté et de foi inconditionnelle dans le Progrès qui est habituellement celle de la Belle Époque. L’anthropologie et l’anthropométrie se mettent au service d’une frénésie taxinomique qui trahit l’inquiétude générée par toute indétermination, désormais intolérable. Un double processus d’essentialisation et de hiérarchisation se trouve aux fondements des discours justifiant l’exclusion persistante de certaines catégories de populations, rejetées en deçà de l’Universel. Lacassagne nous sert d’œilleton pour examiner les enjeux biopolitiques de cette exclusion. C’est l’avers, cette face de la médaille qui porte une effigie – et qui serait frappée à celle de l’Autre en cette fin de siècle – et le portrait d’un homme et de son temps par l’inventaire de ses aversions, qu’on a voulu reconstituerThe following pages will retrace the personal and professional path of the Lyonnais doctor Alexandre Lacassagne (1843-1924), an intellectual from the end of the 19th century who founded anthropological criminology and the school of criminology that would go down in history known as the “école lyonnaise”. Having done his studies at a military school he belonged to that generation of men and Republicans who had been forged by the fires of the Franco-Prussian war, the fall of the Empire and the beginnings of colonial and Republican adventures. The reconstitution of his professional networks and the study of his intellectual positions show that he was an emblematic scholar of his time. His library reveals his true feelings : the analysis of the works shows an ongoing anguish, that of alterity. Of course of criminals, but also of women, of the insane, homosexuals and the “primitive” whose troubling figures contrast with the image of the carefree and unconditional faith in Progress that was quintessential of the “Belle Epoque”. Anthropology and anthropometry are at the service of a taxonomic frenzy that betrays the concern generated by all disinclination that had become intolerable. A process at the same time of essentialism and hierarchism are the foundations of a discourse justifying the ongoing exclusion of certain categories of populations rejected below the “Universel”. Lacassagne serves as a peephole to examine the “biopolitical” stakes of this exclusion. It is the obverse, the side of the coin showing the effigy- and that will be struck with the Other at the end of the century- and the portrait of a man and his time by the inventory of his aversions, which we wished to reconstruct

Présentant des styles musicaux spécifiques des musiques extrêmes, cette thèse permet au lecteur de découvrir leurs sources d'inspirations et imaginaires. Elle interroge, à travers l'histoire du genre, le concept de contre-culture attaché à la culture Metal. Dans cette perspective, cette recherche va s'intéresser aux stéréotypes et aux préjugés. Ceux liés à la pornographie, souvent mis en avant par les détracteurs de cette musique, avec l'analyse du projet Girls X présenté par le festival Hellfest Open Air. Puis ceux relatifs à l'homosexualité en étudiant le sous-genre du glam'metal et les figures de l'androgyne et du beefcake tout en s'interrogeant sur la place des femmes dans ce sous-genre. Ce travail met aussi en opposition deux sous-genres musicaux, le métal symphonique et le black métal afin de réaliser une analyse de la présence féminine sur ces deux scènes. Le premier a pour particularité de mettre en scène le conte de La Belle et la Bête et le second d'observer le lien entre femmes et religions, grandes inspiratrices du black métal, et de présenter un héros spécifique du Métal, le prêtre-guerrier. L'étude du corps féminin dans la culture Métal est essentielle. Ce sera l'occasion de mettre en lumière les muses du Métal et les critères auxquels elles doivent correspondre. Enfin, cette thèse s'intéresse aux interactions entre ce qui est traditionnellement associé à la féminité et à la masculinité dans cette culture musicale notamment à travers les notions de puissance et pouvoir, la pratique du maquillage et le port de la jupe. Enfin, le changement de genre fait l'objet d'un dernier point de ce travailIs Heavy Metal music a counterculture? To answer this question this thesis presents various styles of Metal music with their imaginary worlds and inspirations in relation to gender studies. First, this thesis studies pornography stereotypes and prejudices with Hellfest Open Air Festival's project: Girls X. Then, this analysis studies those in relation to homosexuality in the glam'metal and present androgyne and beefcake figures. There is also some question as to, where women are in the glam' metal ? This research shall also estimate the presence of women into symphonic metal and black metal. Symphonic metal staging tale of Beauty and the Beast and black metal study observe link between of women and religions and present the warrior-priest hero character. This work studies the female body in Heavy Metal culture as well as the interactions within this musical culture, which matter and are seen as traditionally masculine or feminine through notions power over and power to, makeup... Lastly the thesis study the transgender people in Heavy Metal culture

Descobriu-se a existência de uma prática histórica de proscrição baseada num discurso psicanalítico sobre a homossexualidade masculina que desde Freud até os psicanalistas contemporâneos mostrou-se progressivamente patologizante. Por fim, o modelo de institucionalização da psicanálise e padronização da formação psicanalítica foi investigado, mostrando-se determinante tanto aos expedientes discursivos sobre a homossexualidade quanto à exclusão de homossexuais da possibilidade de formarem-se psicanalistasThis work aims to investigate the existence and practice of a non-written rule of proscription of male homosexual candidates to the psychoanalytic training offered by societies affiliated to the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) in the countries it is present. A historical research was performed through procedural codes, articles, journals and testimonies that signalized to an injunction to reject these candidates and which also exposed the reasons behind it. The existence of a historical practice of proscription was discovered, based on a psychoanalytic discourse about male homosexuality that since Freud until the contemporary psychoanalysts became progressively pathologizing. Finally, the model of the institutionalization was investigated, being regarded as determining both the pathologizing discourses about male homosexuality and the exclusion of homosexuals from psychoanalytic training

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the burgeoning field of the history of sexuality in New Zealand and seeks to distill the more theorised and reflexive understanding of the subjectively understood queer male identity since 1948. Emerging from the disciplines of History and English, this project draws from a range of narratological materials: parliamentary debates contained in Hansard, and novels and short stories written by men with publicly avowed queer identities. This thesis explores how both 'normative' identity and the category of 'the homosexual' were constructed and mobilised in the public domain, in this case, the House of Representatives. It shows that members of the House have engaged with an extensive tradition of defining and excluding; a process by which state and public discourses have constructed largely unified, negative and othering narratives of 'the homosexual'. This constitutes an overarching narrative of queer experience which, until the mid-1990s, excluded queer subjects from its construction. At the same time, fictional narratives offer an adjacent body of knowledge and thought for queer men and women. This thesis posits literature's position as an important and productive space for queer resistance and critique. Such texts typically engage with and subvert 'dominant' or 'normative' understandings of sexuality and disturb efforts to apprehend precise or linear histories of 'gay liberation' and 'gay consciousness'. Drawing from the works of Frank Sargeson, James Courage, Bill Pearson, Noel Virtue, Stevan Eldred-Grigg, and Peter Wells, this thesis argues for a revaluing of fictional narratives as active texts from which historians can construct a matrix of cultural experience, while allowing for, and explaining, the determining role such narratives play in the discursively constructed understandings of gender and sexuality in New Zealand.

Full textAbstract:
Le topos de l’homosexualité chez Caravage et celui de l’homoérotisme associé à sa première production picturale posent des questions à l’histoire de l’art. Ce travail contribue à la critique de l’épistémologie hétéro-patriarcale encore largement naturalisée dans les études de l’image pour les époques anciennes. Pour ce faire, il a fallu un retour aux catégories historiques et anthropologiques déployées pour déterminer des sexualités non conformes, problématisant en particulier l’héritage binarisé homo-hétéro du XIXe siècle. En opposition aux spéculations biographiques et à l’application littérale de la psychanalyse, ce travail met à profit un anachronisme queer, moins normatif et plus affectif, en continuité avec une histoire de l’art faite au présent. L’analyse du corpus homoérotique caravagesque et sa mise en perspective dans une tradition figurative élargie permet de voir le travail de l’image qui défait le genre et questionne le sujet-regardant. Elle permet de montrer comment l’articulation historiographique identité-acte travaille la représentation (de peinture) plus qu’elle ne la détermine, et comment l’autonomie du visuel trouble la présence, le poids et la structuration du régime discursif – aussi bien l’ancien que celui de l’historiographie actuelleThe topos of homosexuality and homoerotism that is associated with Caravaggio’s initial paintings poses a number of questions for Art History. My research contributes to the critique of the hetero-patriarchal epistemology that remains widely naturalised in the study of images from ages past. To elaborate this critique, I have returned to historical and anthropological categories in order to determine the evolution of non-conforming sexualities, notably problematising the binary heritage “homo-hetero” of the 19th century in contemporary texts on Caravaggio. In opposition to biographical speculation and the literal application of psychoanalytic theory to Caravaggio’s life and painting, my work draws on the anachronism of queer theory, which is less normative and more affective, in line with a current elaboration of art history. The analysis of Caravaggio’s homoerotic corpus and its insertion into a wider tradition of figurative art allows us to see how the work of the image undoes categories (both that of art history and those pertaining to gender) to question the subject who is looking. It further shows how the historiographic articulation of act and identity works through the representation (in painting) more than it determines it, and how this autonomy of the visual troubles the presence, structure and weight of the discursive regime–as much in past as in contemporary historiographies

This Research claims to lie on the field of LGBTQ studies and analyses the possibility of homosexual existence having as a site of studies a small town in South Minas Gerais. From the life experience of men between 21 and 50 years old, self nominated homosexual, it is approached the homosexual subjective constitution and the experience of the respectable homosexual meaning the respectable homosexual as a set of practices, representation and values shared by the individuals. The apprehension of the normal homosexual social phenomenon is observed in three views. At the first one itʼs observed the relation between homosexuality and a small town context exploring the urgent existence possibilities. After that itʼs considered the homosexual subject processes under the modern sexuality mechanism and homophobia. Finally itʼs approached the ways of existence for the respectable homosexual considering the homosexual subjective under negotiation in a small urban context
Esta pesquisa inscreve-se no terreno temático dos estudos LGBTQ e analisa possibilidades de existência homossexual tomando como local de estudo uma pequena cidade no sul de minas Gerais. A partir das histórias de vida de homens com idades entre 21 e 50 anos auto-denominados homossexuais, aborda-se a constituição de subjetividades homossexuais e a experiência do homossexual respeitável entendendo o homossexual respeitável como um conjunto de práticas, representações e valores compartilhados pelos sujeitos. A apreensão do fenômeno social do homossexual normal é observada em três frentes. Na primeira delas, observa-se a articulação entre homossexualidade e contexto urbano interiorano, explorando a emergência de possibilidades de existência homossexual. Depois, são considerados os processos de subjetivação homossexual sob o dispositivo da sexualidade moderna e a atuação da homofobia. Por fim, são abordados os modos de existência do homossexual respeitável considerando as subjetividades homossexuais em negociação com um contexto urbano de pequeno porte

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes to apply Queer theory as the framework for examining Michel Marc Bouchard's play Les Feluettes. This study is built around two methodological axes, one being the analysis of dialogue; the second, the application of Queer theory. Dialogue and staging are scrutinized in an effort to discover the Queer. The links between sex, power, language and knowledge will be specifically studied. The intention is to show how their relationship, based on opposition, can be modified by a subversive discourse. By way of introduction, a brief discussion of Queer theory will be presented to familiarize the reader with its origins, sources of inspiration and strategies of deconstruction. The first chapter will focus on the homosexual's interior monologue. Chapter two will focus on the homosexual's dialogue with other homosexuals. The third, and final chapter, will round out the analysis by studying the dialogue between the homosexual and heterosexuals. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the topics of sex and society in the Laws of Plato with recourse to ancient historical context and modern critical theory. It examines reconstructions of ancient 'sexuality' (e.g. through Dover, Foucault and Davidson) with a view to increased clarification. The text of the Laws is considered, along with many of its literary qualities, its influences and the utopian plan that it entails. Plato's narrator, the Athenian Stranger, has proposed the remarkable theory that sexuality can be controlled through the manipulation of people's thoughts. The thesis is particularly interested in the manner in which sexuality is ideologically constructed. A significant portion of this inquiry deals with education in the hypothetical polis (Magnesia) and the part that this is designed to play specifically in terms of sex-role stereotyping. The Laws spins andreia as the ideal model for the Magnesians to imitate in their mandatory pursuit of arete. The reformulation of the Magnesian oikos and the 'brave new femininity' that this plan entails figure prominently into this examination. Magnesian women must become more like (idealised) men in terms of 'manly' enkrateia. They will combine alleged elements from athenian, Spartan, Kretan, Sauromatian and Amazonian women (plus Platonic philosophy) to attain this new status. Men must become less like women are perceived to be. A law is drafted to ban same-sex activities, considered 'womanish', but there is some uncertainty as to whether or not it will ever be enforced. Psychology and propaganda, religion, education, the family and government will all work together to affect the moral hygiene of Magnesia. The thesis investigates each of these topics, with recourse to material outside the Laws, in considering Plato's social/sexual construction theory.
