  • Altman, Dennis (B
    Altman, Dennis (b. 1943) by Nikolai Endres Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com For more than thirty years, Dennis Altman, a self-described "international activist-academic," has written on such topics as the United States and its politics, the gay movement, postage stamps, AIDS, the modernization of Asia, and national identity. He specializes in theories and practices of sexuality, in particular the development of the gay and lesbian movement and the globalization of sexual identities. He is also interested in the social, political, and cultural impact of the AIDS epidemic. Gore Vidal pays tribute to Altman in the preface to a 1995 edition of The City and the Pillar (originally published in 1948), where he recounts how the book was taken from Altman at the Sydney airport in 1969: "Altman challenged the obscenity law under which the book had been seized. The judge in the case acknowledged that under the law that he must administer the book was obscene, but then, in a famous obiter dicta, he wrote that he thought the law absurd: in due course, it was changed." (Vidal is right about Altman, but the book in question was actually Myra Breckinridge.) Moreover, in a series of footnotes in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1983), Argentinian writer Manuel Puig cites Altman's most important work, Homosexual: Oppression and Liberation, as one of the first books to chronicle the gay and lesbian liberation movement. In addition, Jeffrey Weeks, a respected scholar of sexuality studies, praises Altman in his Making Sexual History (2000) for "anticipating" rather than simply recording change.
