INCLUSIVE STORIES Although scholars of LGBTQ history have generally been inclusive of women, the working classes, and gender-nonconforming people, the narrative that is found in mainstream media and that many people think of when they think of LGBTQ history is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, male, and has been focused on urban communities. While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities.

  • Vernetzungen Von Raum Und Geschlecht in Forschung Und Politik
    Aenne Gottschalk, Susanne Kersten, Felix Krämer (Hg.) Doing Space while Doing Gender – Vernetzungen von Raum und Geschlecht in Forschung und Politik Dynamiken von Raum und Geschlecht | Band 4 Editorial Die Buchreihe Dynamiken von Raum und Geschlecht dokumentiert die Ergeb- nisse des gleichnamigen DFG-Graduiertenkollegs 1599 der Universitäten Göt- tingen und Kassel, das die Wechselwirkungen von Raum und Geschlecht aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive analysiert und neue Perspektiven für Analysen global-lokaler Zusammenhänge entwickelt. Die zentrale Herausforderung der in dieser Reihe publizierten Forschung ist es, die Konfigurationen von Raum und Geschlecht in ihrer kulturellen Dyna- mik und Variabilität wahrzunehmen, sie theoretisch-terminologisch zu mo- dellieren sowie historisch zu kontextualisieren. Beteiligt sind die Disziplinen Geschichts- und Literaturwissenschaften, Soziologie, Ethnologie, Ethik der Me- dizin, Theologie, Arabistik/Islamwissenschaft und Kulturanthropologie.

Dª VERÓNICA DÍAZ MORENO 1 Departamento de Sociología III (Tendencias Sociales) Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología de la UNED “Estudio comparativo del impacto de la homosexualidad en el proceso de envejecimiento del hombre gay en Nueva York y Madrid” Autor: Mateo Sancho Cardiel. Máster en Problemas Sociales por la UNED. Directora de la Tesis: Doctora Doña Verónica Díaz Moreno. 2 AGRADECIMIENTOS La conclusión más importante de toda tesis doctoral es que la construcción del conocimiento tiene una naturaleza necesariamente coral. Esta tesis, en concreto, no hubiese sido posible sin la asistencia, la motivación, la fe en mí y el impulso de mi marido, Nelson Núñez-Rodríguez, capaz de oscilar entre la exigencia y la comprensión. Gracias por tu paciencia y por tu solidez, que han hecho posible que no engrosáramos la amplia lista de parejas que no sobreviven al doctorado de uno de sus miembros. Gracias a mis padres, José Miguel y Celina, por haberme educado en un espacio de amor incondicional, intercambio de ideas y empatía por el otro, por haberme inculcado la importancia de la escucha. Sin esa ductilidad emocional mamada en casa, creo que hubiese sido imposible crear en tan poco tiempo el ambiente de confianza necesario para que los informantes abrieran su corazón. Me siento privilegiado por haber formado parte de un hogar que entiende las diferencias entre cuatro hermanos (gracias también Simón, Valeria y Eloísa) y en el que se fomentó la curiosidad y las pasiones como base del aprendizaje.

It has frequently provided an environment in which homosexuals, transgender, and other queer people have found their niche. No doubt, the percentage of glbtq people (by any definition) living in New York City far exceeds the conventional estimate for the population as a whole. Current estimates range from 750,000 to more than one million glbtq people living in New York City proper. But New York City, probably more than any other city in the country, is also the capital of sex. Walt Whitman celebrated this aspect of New York in his poetry. "City of orgies, walks and joys," he wrote, "as I pass O Manhattan your frequent and swift flash of eyes offering me love." New York City was the stage upon which millions of men and women realized desires--sexual, artistic, and commercial--that they could never have fulfilled in the small towns and provincial cities of America.
