In this boldly original work, Jonathan Ned Katz challenges the common notion that the distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality has been a timeless one. Building on the history of medical terminology, he reveals that as late as 1923, the term “heterosexuality” referred to a morbid sexual passion, and that its current usage emerged to legitimate men and women having sex for pleasure. Drawing on the works of Sigmund Freud, James Baldwin, Betty Friedan, and Michel Foucault, The Invention of Heterosexuality considers the effects of heterosexuality’s recently forged primacy on both scientific literature and popular culture.“Lively and provocative.”—Carol Tavris, New York Times Book Review“A valuable primer . misses no significant twists in sexual politics.”—Gary Indiana, Village Voice Literary Supplement“One of the most important—if not outright subversive— works to emerge from gay and lesbian studies in years.”—Mark Thompson, The Advocate With the explicit invention of the homosexual by medicalizing that status in 1869, the term requires a normative value to express the point from which the deviation occurs. Thus, the creation and elaboration upon the homosexual was simultaneously the creation and elaboration upon the heterosexual.Much scholarly work has gone into describing the social construction of homosexuals and homosexuality, and here is an act of sublime academic irony by the gay historian Jonathan Katz as he turns the central object of study on its head and examines how the constructors are themselves constructed. Moreover, he shows how this constructuction of heterosexuality influences the construction of homosexuality. Unsurprisingly, Katz finds that a contamination in the heterosexual hegemonic attitudes towards homosexuality exists.The two concepts did not follow parallel paths, however, and Katz uses Foucauldian methods to chart the gender history of heterosexuality. This is indeed a subversive text.Although this is a resolutely academic work with a host of supporting citations for his audacious arguments, the book is written in a highly accessible style which makes the book inviting for the non-academic reader. I think this is an especially important book for queer writers and intellectuals to read. For an academic book this was particularly fascinating reading; several times I even gasped at the inspiring brilliance of the insights I gained from the book.

  • No Promo Homo: the Sedimentation of Antigay Discourse and the Channeling Effect of Judicial Review
    NO PROMO HOMO: THE SEDIMENTATION OF ANTIGAY DISCOURSE AND THE CHANNELING EFFECT OF JUDICIAL REVIEW WILLIAM N. ESKRIDGE, JR.* Arguments againstequal rights for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people have shifted from, "Those are bad people who do sinful, sick acts," to "A progay reform would promote homosexuality." Professor Eskridge's article presents a history of this rhetoricalshif, tying it to die rise of a politics of preserva- don by traditionalists seeking to counter gay people's politics of recognition. Eskridge also shows how modem antigay discourse has become sedimented, as ar- guments are layered on top of (but never displace)each other. Evaluatingthe vari- ous forms no promo homo arguments can take, he maintainsthat 11e most obvious versions are not plausible, and that the most plausible are not constitutionaL 77Tis archaeologyof no promo homo discoursehas interestingramifications for constitu- tional theory and doctrine. Among then, as Eskridge condudes, is the way in which the channeling function of law not only changes group rhetoric, but also group identity, and helps the state "manage" polarizingculture clashes.

  • Thinking Historically About Gender, Sex, and Sexuality
    Reading Guide – Thinking Historically about Gender, Sex, and Sexuality Gender, sex, and sexuality are important areas of research for scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as many scientific fields, including medicine. Historians have played a crucial role in changing the way we understand these topics. The readings for this week are designed to introduce you to some of the ways historians approach and analyze gender, sex, and sexuality, and also to help you begin thinking historically yourself. Required Texts: • Nancy Cott, “What is Gender History?” Speech delivered at the American Historical Association Conference (January 2005) 1-5. • Jeffrey Weeks, “The Social Construction of Sexuality,” in Major Problems in the History of American Sexuality, Peiss, ed. (2002) 2-9. • Jonathan Ned Katz, “The Invention of Heterosexuality,” in Race, Class, and Gender: An Anthology, 8th edition, Anderson et al, eds. (2012); pp 231-242. • John D’Emilio, “Capitalism and Gay Identity” in The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader, Abelove et al eds. (1993) 467-476. • Joanne Meyerowitz, “Introduction,” in How Sex Changed: A History of Transsexuality in the United States (2004) 1-13. • Susan Stryker, “An Introduction to Transgender Terms and Concepts,” in Transgender History (2008) 1-29. • Figures excerpted from Gayle Rubin, “Thinking Sex: Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality,” in Vance, ed., Pleasure and Danger (1984). Questions to Consider: Nancy Cott is a preeminent historian of gender and women’s history. What distinctions does she make in her short speech between the history of gender and the history of women? It what ways has thinking about gender contributed to and changed the way we understand US history? Weeks, Katz, and D’Emilio each offer slightly different approaches for thinking historically about sex and sexuality.

    Howard H. Chiang Ex Historia 1 Howard H. Chiang1 Princeton University On the Historiographical Politics of Queer Sexuality: Thinking across the Post-Colonial and LGBTQ2 Subjects of History Introduction Opening up the ‘archive’ of the historiography of sexuality, one immediately confronts a striking paradox: if so many historians nowadays acknowledge the ‘social constructionist’ nature of (homo)sexuality, why does a body of literature called ‘gay and lesbian history’ or ‘queer history’ still exist?3 Alternatively put, if sexuality is indeed widely recognized as ‘socially constructed’ across time and place, why are historians still assuming a core set of essential qualities that unite all those historical scholarships categorised under ‘gay and lesbian history’ or ‘queer history’, or even the ‘history of sexuality’? One might recall here David Halperin’s remark: ‘Once upon a time, the very phrase “the history of sexuality” sounded like a contradiction in terms: how, after all, could sexuality have a history? Nowadays, by contrast, we are so accustomed to the notion that sexuality does indeed have a history that we do not often ask ourselves what kind of history sexuality has’.4 In this paper, I wish to first and foremost respond to this important question by turning to the subaltern studies project and post-colonial historiography. My discussion begins with applying subaltern and post-colonial theory to my concerns about the essentialising tendencies of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) historiography.

In many English-speaking countries “queer” has been a common abusive term for homosexuals and other sexually non-normative individuals. From around the end of the 1980s the term was picked up by many activists and academics as a tool for political engagement. Initially “queer” was politicized in the context of the AIDS crisis but soon afterwards, the term was used to address political, social and cultural marginalization of sexual minorities. “Queer” has ever since remained one of the most significant concepts in contemporary sexual minority politics. I examine how “queer” became a powerful political signifier and I study political messages that the term carried. My study focuses on multiple uses of “queer”, rising from various forms of direct political activism to numerous academic publications.
