Abstract / Description
Vorangetrieben von »Schwulen« selbst wurde seit dem Jahrhundert das Konzept schwuler Identität durchgesetzt. Noch heute gelten »Sichtbarkeit« und »Identität« weithin als Schlüsselbegriffe politischer Kämpfe Homosexueller um Anerkennung und Respekt. Jedoch wird aktuell immer deutlicher, dass auf diese Weise ein Ordnungsregime entsteht, das auf Geschlechternorm, Weißsein, Bürgerlichkeit und Paarbeziehung basiert. So werden beispielsweise Queers of Shade und Queers mit abweichenden Lebensentwürfen marginalisiert. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes hinterfragen die Gewissheit, dass eine einheitliche schwule Identität existiert, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: bewegungsgeschichtlich, wissenschaftstheoretisch und mit Blick auf aktuelle gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen um Homonationalismus und rassistische Gentrifizierung.
In the 19th century »gays« themselves pushed forward the concept of queer identity. Until today »visibility« and »identity« count as key terms in the homosexuals’ fights for recognition and respect. Recently
Gay BerlinGay Berlin
Birthplace of a Modern Identity
Beachy, Robert,Beachy, Robert,
An unprecedented examination of the ways in which the uninhibited urban sexuality, sexual experimentation, and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of sexual orientation and lgbtq+ identity.
Known already in the s for the friendly company of its "warm brothers" (German slang for men who cherish other men), Berlin, before the turn of the twentieth century, became a place where scholars, activists, and medical professionals could explore and begin to educate both themselves and Europe about new and emerging sexual identities. From Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German activist described by some as the first openly gay man, to the world of Berlin's vast homosexual subcultures, to a major sex scandal that enraptured the daily newspapers and shook the court of Emperor William II-and on through some of the very first sex reassignment surgeries-Robert Beachy uncovers the long-forgotten events and characters that carry on to shape and impact the way we assume of sexuality today.

Summary
One of the first extended and theoretically informed investigations of gay theory’s racial inscription, Gay Race understands race as inextricably sexualized, as sexuality is always racially marked. The book critically and playfully explores intellectual and political deployments of the term «queer», gay pornographic videos about South Africa, contemporary literary representations of interracial gay desire, the writings of Gloria Anzaldúa, and Jeffrey Dahmer’s criminal trial. Through these explorations, Queer Race charts a framework for understanding the «race» of queer theory that both tests gay theory’s limits and suggests its future inter-relations with anti-racist work.
