  • Alexander the Great and Hephaestion
    2019-3337-AJHIS-HIS 1 Alexander the Great and Hephaestion: 2 Censorship and Bisexual Erasure in Post-Macedonian 3 Society 4 5 6 Same-sex relations were common in ancient Greece and having both male and female 7 physical relationships was a cultural norm. However, Alexander the Great is almost 8 always portrayed in modern depictions as heterosexual, and the disappearance of his 9 life-partner Hephaestion is all but complete in ancient literature. Five full primary 10 source biographies of Alexander have survived from antiquity, making it possible to 11 observe the way scholars, popular writers and filmmakers from the Victorian era 12 forward have interpreted this evidence. This research borrows an approach from 13 gender studies, using the phenomenon of bisexual erasure to contribute a new 14 understanding for missing information regarding the relationship between Alexander 15 and his life-partner Hephaestion. In Greek and Macedonian society, pederasty was the 16 norm, and boys and men did not have relations with others of the same age because 17 there was almost always a financial and power difference. Hephaestion was taller and 18 more handsome than Alexander, so it might have appeared that he held the power in 19 their relationship. The hypothesis put forward here suggests that writers have erased 20 the sexual partnership between Alexander and Hephaestion because their relationship 21 did not fit the norm of acceptable pederasty as practiced in Greek and Macedonian 22 culture or was no longer socially acceptable in the Roman contexts of the ancient 23 historians. Ancient biographers may have conducted censorship to conceal any 24 implication of femininity or submissiveness in this relationship.

  • LGBT Identity and Crime
    LGBT Identity and Crime LGBT Identity and Crime* JORDAN BLAIR WOODS** Abstract Recent studies report that LGBT adults and youth dispropor- tionately face hardships that are risk factors for criminal offending and victimization. Some of these factors include higher rates of poverty, over- representation in the youth homeless population, and overrepresentation in the foster care system. Despite these risk factors, there is a lack of study and available data on LGBT people who come into contact with the crim- inal justice system as offenders or as victims. Through an original intellectual history of the treatment of LGBT identity and crime, this Article provides insight into how this problem in LGBT criminal justice developed and examines directions to move beyond it. The history shows that until the mid-1970s, the criminalization of homosexuality left little room to think of LGBT people in the criminal justice system as anything other than deviant sexual offenders. The trend to decriminalize sodomy in the mid-1970s opened a narrow space for schol- ars, advocates, and policymakers to use antidiscrimination principles to redefine LGBT people in the criminal justice system as innocent and non- deviant hate crime victims, as opposed to deviant sexual offenders. Although this paradigm shift has contributed to some important gains for LGBT people, this Article argues that it cannot be celebrated as * Originally published in the California Law Review. ** Assistant Professor of Law, University of Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville.

  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve
    humanities Article “More and More Fond of Reading”: Everything You Wanted to Know about Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve Desmond Huthwaite Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1TN, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Clara Reeve’s (1729–1807) Gothic novel The Old English Baron is a node for contemplating two discursive exclusions. The novel, due to its own ambiguous status as a gendered “body”, has proven a difficult text for discourse on the Female Gothic to recognise. Subjected to a temperamental dialectic of reclamation and disavowal, The Old English Baron can be made to speak to the (often) subordinate position of Transgender Studies within the field of Queer Studies, another relationship predicated on the partial exclusion of undesirable elements. I treat the unlikely transness of Reeve’s body of text as an invitation to attempt a trans reading of the bodies within the text. Parallel to this, I de- velop an attachment genealogy of Queer and Transgender Studies that reconsiders essentialism—the kind both practiced by Female Gothic studies and also central to the logic of Reeve’s plot—as a fantasy that helps us distinguish where a trans reading can depart from a queer one, suggesting that the latter is methodologically limited by its own bad feelings towards the former. Keywords: Clara Reeve; Female Gothic; trans; queer; gender; embodiment The “literary offspring of the Castle of Otranto” had, and continues to have, something Citation: Huthwaite, Desmond. 2021. of a difficult birth.1 In its first year of life, the text was christened twice (titled The Champion “More and More Fond of Reading”: of Virtue in 1777, then Old English Baron in a revised 1778 edition); described alternately Everything You Wanted to Know as a transcription, a translation, a history, a romance, and (most enduringly) a “Gothic about Transgender Studies but Were story”; attributed to “the editor of the PHOENIX” and then to Clara Reeve; and subjected Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve.

  • Pedagogy and Homosexuality in Ancient Greece 1. Pederasty and Pedagogy 2. the Myth of the Three Sexes (Halperin 19) 3. Does Homo
    Pedagogy and Homosexuality in Ancient Greece 1. Pederasty and Pedagogy It is clear from a variety of sources that from the Archaic period onwards, pederasty (or adult male to male child love/sex) was part of the gymnasia and hence the educational system. Usually this took the form of intercrural sex, foreplay, and gift- giving to boys. 2. The myth of the Three Sexes (Halperin 19) According to Aristophanes [in Plato's Symposium], human beings were originally round, eight-limbed creatures, with two faces and two sets of genitals--both front and back--and three sexes (male, female, and androgyne). These ancestors of ours were powerful and ambitious; in order to put them in their place, Zeus had them cut in two, their skin stretched over the exposed flesh and tied at the navel, and their heads rotated so as to keep that physical reminder of their daring and its consequences constantly before their eyes. The severed halves of each former individual, once reunited, clung to one another so desperately and concerned themselves so little with their survival as separate entities that they began to perish for lack of sustenance; those who outlived their mates sought out persons belonging to the same sex as their lost complements and repeated their embraces in a foredoomed attempt to recover their original unity. Zeus at length took pity on them, moved their genitals to the side their bodies now faced, and invented sexual intercourse, so that the bereaved creatures might at least put a temporary terminus to their longing and devote their attention to other, more important (if less pressing) matters.

  • LESBIAN SAPPHO REVISITED André Lardinois More Than Twenty
    LESBIAN SAPPHO REVISITED André Lardinois More than twenty years ago, Jan Bremmer, the honorand of this volume, offered me the opportunity to write my very first scholarly article on Sappho in a volume he was editing on the history of sexuality, while I was still his student.1 Following his own analysis of Greek homosexuality as derived from an initiation ritual and Claude Calame’s detailed study of young women’s choruses, I concluded that Sappho probably did have sexual relationships with the girls she sang about in her poetry, similar to the pederastic relationships of adult men and young boys in archaic Greece.2 In the meantime, however, I have had second thoughts and I would like to take this opportunity to return to this subject in the light of recent scholarship. I have become convinced that Sappho in her poetry does not express her own emotions but speaks, either in her own voice or through a chorus, for the community, and that her sensual descriptions of young women,3 which are certainly expressed in homoerotic terms, were meant to praise the erotic appeal of these young women as experienced by men and women alike but intended to be consummated in heterosexual marriages. In my article I already cautioned against calling Sappho’srelation- ships with young women ‘lesbian’ or ‘homosexual’, because these rela- tionships would appear to have been first of all pederastic in nature (not 1 A.

  • Afropolitan Sexual and Gender Identities in Colonial Senegal
    humanities Article Afropolitan Sexual and Gender Identities in Colonial Senegal Babacar M’Baye Department of English, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44240, USA; [email protected] Received: 4 July 2019; Accepted: 17 October 2019; Published: 19 October 2019 Abstract: Drawing from Achille Mbembe’s theorization of Afropolitanism as an opportunity for modern Africans “to experience several worlds” and develop flux, hybrid, and constantly mobile identities (“Afropolitanism” 29), this essay attempts to make an intervention into the ways in which this phenomenon appeared in colonial Senegalese culture. A neglected site of Afropolitanism was the colonial metropolis of Dakar which reflected subversive homosexual or transgender identities during the 1940s and 50s. Focusing on key writings such as Armand Corre’s book, L’ethnographie criminelle d’après les observations et les statistiques judiciaires recueillies dans les colonies françaises [criminal ethnography based on judiciary observations and statistics gathered from French colonies] (1894) and Michael Davidson’s travelogue, “Dakar” (1970), this essay wants to uncover a part of the silenced and neglected history of sexual and gender variances in colonial Senegalese culture. In these texts, one finds salient examples of Afropolitanism which were deployed as tools of resistance against homophobia and transphobia and as means of affirming erotic, sensual, and transgressive identities. In the end, colonial Senegalese culture transcended gender and sexual binaries in order to provide space for recognizing and examining Afropolitan sensibilities that have thus far been neglected in African studies scholarship. Keywords: afropolitanism; cosmopolitanism; colonial Senegal; homosexuality; transgenderism 1. Introduction In recent years, Afropolitanism has become an increasingly popular theory in black cultural studies, inspiring new lenses in the study of African identities.

  • Article — Tossing the Last Taboo — 1999 — World Magazine
    Tossing the Last Taboo Psychologists hail the benefits of pederasty. By Gene Edward Veith From World Magazine (www.worldmag.com) April 10, 1999 Volume 14, Number 14 Reprinted with permission First, the culture began to see premarital sex as the norm. Then homosexuality became culturally respectable. The next taboo targeted for overthrow by our sexual revolutionaries evidently is sex between adults and children. Kiddie porn is now available not only on the Internet but at Barnes & Noble. Children are being sexualized in movies, in the music they listen to, in the clothes their parents buy them, and in their ever-younger patterns of dating. But now influential elements of the intellectual establishment-and the psychology profession, no less-are openly sanctioning sex between children and adults. The leading journal of the American Psychological Association published an article maintaining that sex between children and adults is not harmful and, in fact, can be a positive experience for the child. The article, titled “A Meta-analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples,” was published in the APA Psychological Bulletin ([1998], Vol. 124, No. 1, pp. 22-53). The article was written by Bruce Rind, an adjunct instructor at Temple University; Philip Tromovitch, a graduate student in education at the University of Pennsylvania; and Robert Bauserman, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan. The authors did not conduct any new research; rather, they examined 59 other studies that collected data on how college students coped with sexual abuse. Forty-two percent of the male college students actually viewed their abuse as "positive" when looking back at it.

  • The Source and Nt Meaning Ofarsenokoitai, With
    TMSJ 3/2 (Fall 1992) 191-215 THE SOURCE AND NT MEANING OF ARSENOKOITAI, WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR CHRISTIAN ETHICS AND MINISTRY James B. De Young 1 Professor of New Testament Western Conservative Baptist Seminary Portland, Oregon Traditional interpretation of rsenokotai (arsenokoitai, "homosexuals") in 1 Cor 6:9 and 1 Tim 1:10 refers to sexual vice between people of the same sex, specifically homosexuality. Some restrict the term's meaning to "active male prostitute," but stronger evidence supports a more general translation, namely "homosexuals." More recently the definition "homosexual" has been opposed on cultural and linguistic grounds, the claim being that the term "homosexuals" is anachronistic. In addition, criticism of the traditional rendering says the term today includes celibate homophiles, excludes heterosexuals who engage in homosexual acts, and includes female homosexuals. A concern for acts instead of the modern attention to desires was the only factor in the ancient world. The foregoing opposition to the translation of arsenokoitai by "homosexuals" has a number of debilitating weaknesses. Finally, this study argues that Paul coined the term arsenokoitai, deriving it from the LXX of Lev 20:13 (cf. 18:22) and using it for homosexual orientation and behavior, the latter of which should be an occasion for church discipline (1 Corinthians 5-6) and legislation in society (1 Tim 1:8-11). 1Professor De Young has taught for many years at Western Conservative Baptism Seminary. He has contributed articles on homosexuality to other theological journals (see nn. 20, 29 below). The staff of The Master's Seminary Journal is happy to make this additional helpful research available.
