PRESSKIT Homosexuality Ies PRESS KIT Homosexuality_ies 26 June to 1 December 2015 An exhibition presented by the Deutsches Historisches Museum and the Schwules Museum*, jointly funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes and the Kulturstiftung der Länder Homosexuality_ies 26 June to 1 December 2015 An exhibition presented by the Deutsches Historisches Museum and the Schwules Museum*, jointly funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes and the Kulturstiftung der Länder With the collaborative exhibition “Homosexuality_ies”, the Deutsches Historisches Museum and the Schwules Museum* present the first comprehensive show on the history, politics and culture of homosexuality_ies of the past 150 years. Covering a total area of 1600 square meters, the show deals with society's handling of homosexuality in light of social, juridical and scientific repression, following the gradual process of emancipation from the late 18 th century into the present. Featuring an abundance of historical and contemporary exhibits – documents, paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, posters and selected works by Andy Warhol, Jeanne Mammen, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Lozano, Tamara de Lempicka and others, this double exhibition sheds light on the complexity of gender identities within a historical context as much as within current debates surrounding alternative approaches to life. Given the ongoing, worldwide discourse on equal rights for homosexuals and transgender people, both institutions view this exhibition as an opportunity to position a socially and politically current topic in the middle of society. This project has been jointly funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes and the Kulturstiftung der Länder. Topic: The History and Culture of Homosexual Identities Until now, the history and culture of homosexual people have been conferred to the shadows of public memory. “Homosexuality_ies” presents an impressive spectrum of materials, formats and media that offer a broad public a multi-faceted insights into its subject matter. The exhibition acknowledges the cultural-historical achievement of homosexual emancipation, which has transformed society's understanding of gender identity, sharpened awareness for the limitations of traditional gender codes and demanded recognition for the diversity of alternative models of living. The show traces the history of homosexuality_ies in ten chapters, concluding with the present. It exposes how same-sex sexuality and non-conformist gender identities have been criminalized through legislation, pathologized in medicine and excluded from society. Exhibits include a copy of the first secular criminal provisions effective for the entire German territory, the “Constitutio Criminalis Carolina” from the mid-16 th century, a document which punishes sexual acts “against nature” between women and men alike with “death by fire”. Prominent individuals like Oscar Wilde, Philipp Graf zu Eulenburg and Alan Turing serve as cases in point that describe the persecution of homosexuals by society church and state. Legislative developments with respect to the infamous Paragraph 175 of the German penal code, which made “homosexual acts” punishable by law from 1872 to 1994, and the subsequent gradual progress towards equal rights are visualized for visitors. Paragraph 175 initially took effect in Imperial Germany, underwent massive harshening in the Nazi era and was definitively voided after reunification, in 1994. Additionally, a handwritten letter by the author Karl Maria Kertbeny from 1868 will be on view. In that letter, the terms homosexual and heterosexual were used for the first time. Since science began concerning itself with sexuality, homosexuality marked a divergence from the “normal”. In light of that, the exhibition illustrates efforts to diagnose and “cure” sexual and gender “deviations” in medicine and psychology. As a counterpoint, the show also presents the models researchers like Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, Magnus Hirschfeld and Judith Butler developed in attempts to establish understanding for sexual and gender diversity. A core section of the exhibition containing a vast wealth of materials focuses on the lesbian, gay and transgender liberation movements, particularly after the legal liberalization that began in the 1960s. Exhibits include flyers, press materials, posters, photographs, videos and objects – such as a preserved original educational brochure from 1901 by the very first homosexual civil rights association, the “Scientific-Humanitarian Committee”. The script from “Coming Out” (1989), the first and last official film on homosexuality in East Germany, and footage of the “Muff Mobile” at Christopher Street Day 1998 in Berlin are also on display. “Homosexuality_ies” undercuts the usual perception that equates homosexuals with gay men. It puts much more emphasis on the vital roles played by lesbian activists and other gender identities. “While the public discussion is more or less directed at male and female homosexuality, the world many people live in is much more complex than that: The internationally used abbreviation LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer) stands for a diversity of ways of living and breaks with a gender code founded on the categories man and woman,” says Dr. Birgit Bosold, project director for the exhibition and member of the board at the Schwules Museum*. In closing, “Homosexuality_ies” picks up threads of contemporary debate and raises questions as to the future of gender codes and sexualities. It shows how new coalitions of trans*, inter* and queer-feminist protagonists are propelling the recognition of sexual and gender diversity in society right now. Aside from historical developments, the exhibition displays a wide range of subjective experiences: One chapter is dedicated to very personal “Coming Out” stories. Another highlights the cross-over from the personal to the political, where codes in clothes, style and manner are exhibited, which transformed over time from signs used to identify oneself to like-minded fellows into offensive tactical manifestations in public. The section of the exhibition on view at the Schwules Museum* addresses the current situation and the future of diverse gender identities. A selection of works by contemporary international artists comment on the relationships between sexuality, gender, body, between the conventions of society and transgressions of those conventions. Works are by artists such as Monica Bonvicini, Mary Coble, Elmgreen & Dragset, Goodyn Green, Katarzyna Kozyra, Henrik Olesen, Julian Rosenfeldt, Sturtevant, Sam Taylor-Johnson and Andy Warhol. Additionally, the interview project “What's Next?” presents activists from the queer scene speaking on topics including political commitment, solidarity and conflicts, work and life beyond the heterosexual norm. The majority of the exhibits originate from private movement archives that were founded at the initiative of activists, such as the lesbian archive Spinnboden, the feminist archives FFBIZ and Grauzone and the Archive at the Schwules Museum*. In that respect, this show funded substantially by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes and the Kulturstiftung der Länder raises a fundamental question regarding how the topic of “Homosexuality_ies” can be represented and presented properly in museums and archives. Design: New Perspectives and Standpoints The visual concept for the exhibition is founded in the heterogeneity of single rooms: From video installations with statements from individuals who communicate subjective positions, to a salon-style room where the collection of homosexual imagery compiled by Andreas Sternweiler is presented in a majestic Petersburg hanging, and on to grid wall panels reminiscent of a museum depository where a variety of forms of action and organization, debates and aesthetics of political activism are spotlighted – every space constitutes a complete unit in and of itself. In this way, the design enables visitors to constantly adopt new perspectives and cultivates an openness for the diversity and complexity of gender identities beyond the 'heterosexual matrix'. “The exhibition consciously dispenses with chronology and creates a new kind of approach in every room,” explains Detlef Weitz, the co-curator responsible for the visual concept. Featuring imagery from a work by the Canadian performance artist Heather Cassils, the exhibition poster already plays with ambiguities and reflects the title, which typographically alludes to the plurality of gender and sexual identities with the underscore – also called the “gender gap” in German, since it is used in written language to avoid restrictive, gendered plural endings. The poster image quotes a familiar aesthetics of advertising and presents a body that, upon closer inspection, conforms in no way to the bodily ideals of advertising and thus undermines every norm. Goals: Positioning the Topic in the Center of Society “In the exhibition 'Homosexuality_ies', the Deutsches Historisches Museum is grappling with this important discourse for the first time in its nearly 30-year history. We understand this equally demanding and challenging project as an offering directed at a broad, increasingly international public to deepen their exploration and discussion of the thematics sketched out here,” states Prof. Dr. Alexander Koch, President of the Deutsches Historisches Museum. The goal of the project is to create awareness for the diversity of sexual lifestyles and concepts of gender, and to awaken both tolerance and understanding. In that respect, the show

Kickstarted with the formation of UFA, the rise of German cinema as a modern form of artistic expression paved the way for film to become an outlet for the reflection, discussion, and criticism of German society. The films’ thematic content included focusing on the lives of those marginalized in society, and within that small subset, the topic of homosexuality had already started to be directly addressed nearly a hundred years ago. Male homosexuality became criminalized in 1871 under Paragraph 175 of the criminal code following the formation of the German Reich, but the trends of attitudes towards homosexuality were both still followed and reflected in German films produced in the periods spanning the Weimar Republic, to the divide of the two Berlins, until right up to the night the Berlin Wall fell.

Mit dieser Schriftenreihe veröffentlichen wir Arbeitsergebnisse und Analysen, die im Kontext des Instituts entstanden sind. Das Institut konzentriert sich auf drei Kernbereiche: 1. die sozialwissenschaftliche Zukunftsfor- schung, 2. das Lern- und Handlungsfeld Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und 3. die Forschung zu Transfer von Wissen und Innovationen. Das Institut Futur hat 2010 außerdem den ersten Studiengang zur Zukunftsforschung im deutsch- sprachigen Raum eingerichtet. Der weiterbildende Masterstudiengang Zukunftsforschung ver- mittelt – anknüpfend an einen ersten Hochschulabschluss und die qualifizierten Berufserfah- rungen der Studentinnen und Studenten – die Techniken wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens in der 2 Zukunftsforschung und stellt gleichzeitig einen starken Bezug zur Praxis her. Die überzeugenden Abschlussarbeiten von Studierenden aus dem Studienzyklus 2012 sind auch ein Anlass, diese Schriftenreihe zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Zukunftsforschung zu starten. Die Palette der Themen ist entsprechend breit gehalten. Vieles hat explorativen Charakter. Das hat zwei Gründe: Erstens basiert die Zukunftsforschung bisher kaum auf einem konsolidierten wissenschaftlichen Fundament. Ihre Qualitäts- und Gütekriterien sind ebenso in der Diskussion wie ihre wissenschafts- und erkenntnistheoretischen Implikationen. Zweitens ist ihr Gegenstand so allumfassend, dass sich das Feld kaum sortieren, geschweige denn kategorisieren lässt.

    Representations of Same-Sex Love in Public History By Claire Louise HAYWARD A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Kingston University November 2015 2 Contents Page Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 4 List of abbreviations 6 Introduction 7 Chapter One ‘Truffle-hounding’ for Same-Sex Love in Archives 40 Chapter Two Corridors of Fear and Social Justice: Representations of Same-Sex Love in Museums 90 Chapter Three Echoes of the Past in Historic Houses 150 Chapter Four Monuments as les lieux de mémoire of Same-Sex Love 194 Chapter Five #LGBTQHistory: Digital Public Histories of Same-Sex Love 252 Conclusion 302 Appendix One 315 Questionnaire Appendix Two 320 Questionnaire Respondents Bibliography 323 3 Abstract This thesis analyses the ways in which histories of same-sex love are presented to the public. It provides an original overview of the themes, strengths and limitations encountered in representations of same-sex love across multiple institutions and examples of public history. This thesis argues that positively, there have been many developments in archives, museums, historic houses, monuments and digital public history that make histories of same-sex love more accessible to the public, and that these forms of public history have evolved to be participatory and inclusive of margnialised communities and histories. It highlights ways that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Queer (LGBTQ) communities have contributed to public histories of same-sex love and thus argues that public history can play a significant role in the formation of personal and group identities. It also argues that despite this progression, there are many ways in which histories of same-sex love remain excluded from, or are represented with significant limitations, in public history.

  • Diaspora, Islam, and Belonging: Conceptualising Queer Muslim Subjectivities in Berlin
    Diaspora, Islam, and belonging: Conceptualising queer Muslim subjectivities in Berlin By Arnold Kovács Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Nadia Jones-Gailani CEU eTD Collection Second Supervisor: Dr. Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2020 Abstract In this thesis, I explore the formation of queer Muslim subjectivities by attending to the multi- faceted ways in which queer people of Muslim backgrounds respond to the temporal and material realities of the matrix of oppression experienced in Berlin, Germany. The project adopts a postcolonial feminist ethnographic approach in order to centre the voices of people constructed as ‘others’ and address the implications of power and positionality on representation in ethnographic knowledge production by foregrounding reflexivity. My analysis is based upon two months of extensive participant observation, as well as eight semi-structured ethnographic interviews, and an interdisciplinary theoretical framework building on scholarship from Religious Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, and Migration Studies. The thesis argues that queer people of Muslim backgrounds cultivate their selves through the articulation of their sense of belonging as they navigate the historically contingent understandings of Islam and sexuality within the context of migration and diaspora. As I further demonstrate, the differing modes of belonging carved out by queer Muslims in Berlin constitute unique ways of reacting to the material realities experienced within the German secular liberal regime. CEU eTD Collection ii Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of original research; it contains no materials accepted for any other degree in any other institution and no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference.

  • Schwules Museum [Gay Museum] by Andrew Leblanc
    Schwules Museum [Gay Museum] by Andrew Leblanc Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Berlin's Schwules Museum, established in the late 1980s, is a private institution dedicated to preserving, exhibiting, and discovering homosexual history, art, and culture. Located in the Kreuzberg district of former West Berlin, long the center of gay life in the city, the museum is composed of three main divisions: archives, library, and exhibitions. The Mission The Schwules Museum was founded as a "living collection" to present to the public exhibitions, catalogues, essays, lectures, and film screenings. Its targeted audience includes everyone--gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals, and heterosexuals--who would like to inform and be informed, in a professional and scientific manner, on all topics relating to homosexuality, both historically and contemporarily. The museum is a repository for diverse collections--including records of self-help groups, public institutions, and churches, as well as memoirs, oral histories, and literary and artistic works. It is the mission of the museum to build from such diverse sources a continually expanding chronicle of gay social history and to document the history and development of gay liberation movements. Although the museum is interested in all aspects of homosexual history and culture, it has a particular concern with the persecution of gay men and lesbians under fascism. The treatment of gay men and lesbians by the Third Reich is a topic of specialization and continuing research. This topic is dealt with extensively in museum publications and exhibitions, including the famous 1997 exhibit entitled "Goodbye To Berlin? 100 Jahre Schwulenbewegung" [Goodbye to Berlin? 100 Years of the Gay Movement].
