Criminally Queer Criminally Queer This book provides a coherent history of criminal law and Criminally homosexuality in Scandinavia 1842–1999, a period during which same-sex love was outlawed or subject to more or less severe legal restrictions in the Scandinavian penal codes. This was the case Queer in most countries in Northern Europe, but the book argues that the development in Scandinavia was different, partly determined by the structure of the welfare state. Homosexuality and Five of the most experienced scholars of the history of homosexuality in the region describe how same-sex desire Criminal Law has been regulated in their respective countries during the in Scandinavia past 160 years. The authors with their backgrounds in history, sociology, and gender studies represent an interdisciplinary 1842–1999 approach to the problem of criminalization of same-sex sexuality. Their contributions, consisting for the most part of previously Jens Rydström and Kati Mustola (eds.) unpublished material, present for the fi rst time a comprehensive history of homosexuality in Scandinavia. Among other things, it includes the most extensive study yet written in any language about Iceland’s gay and lesbian history. Also for the fi rst time, the book discusses in detail same-sex sexuality between women before the law in modern society and presents previously unpublished fi ndings on this topic. Female homosexuality was outlawed in Eastern Scandinavia, but not and Kati Mustola (eds.) Jens Rydström in the Western parts of the region. It also analyzes the modern tendency to include lesbian women in the criminal discourse as an effect of the medicalization of homosexuality and the growing infl uence of medical discourse on the law. a isbn 978 90 5260 245 5 A a CRIMINALLY QUEER “We no more create from nothing the political terms which come to represent our ‘freedom’ than we are responsible for the terms that carry the pain of social injury” Judith Butler, “Critically Queer” Criminally Queer Homosexuality and Criminal Law in Scandinavia, 1842-1999 Jens Rydström and Kati Mustola (eds) a Amsterdam 2007 isbn 978 90 5260 245 5 © Copyright 2007 The authors and Aksant Academic Publishers, Amsterdam.

The Scandinavian Council for Criminology (Nordisk Samar- bejdsråd for Kriminologi, NSfK) granted us economic support, and Jens, Kati, Martin and Wilhelm met in Helsinki and drew up plans for the project. Since then we have had meetings in Stockholm, Bergen, and Copenhagen. We soon decided that we should write the book in English. One reason was that we wanted to reach an international audience, and the other was that we wanted the book to be read throughout the Nordic area, and not only in Den- mark, Norway, and Sweden. The languages in Finland and Iceland are so differ- ent from the other Nordic languages that understanding is not automatic. We decided that we wanted to do a thorough criminological survey based on legis- lation and court cases, but expanded to include a discussion of cultural and so- cial history. None of us is a trained criminologist, but we have all done historical research using court records and have a good knowledge of the legal history of our re- spective countries. It was when we began comparing our results that the prob- lems began. Court statistics weren’t comparable, the penal codes of the different countries were differently constructed, and definitions of what counts as a crime varied over time and between jurisdictions. Also, we desperately lacked knowl- edge of the North Atlantic parts of the Nordic community: Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. Only when Thorgerdur Thorvaldsdóttir joined the project did it become truly Nordic. Thorgerdur had specialized in history and gender studies, but she had not studied the history of same-sex sexuality and criminal law in Iceland − but then, neither had anybody else. Unlike the rest of us she had to undertake new primary research and dig up court cases in Icelandic ar- chives. With the generous help of Thorvaldur Kristinsson, who had studied the country’s queer history, and by using other sources than the meager court re- cords, Thorgerdur has been able to present a comprehensive history of same-sex sexuality in Iceland. The authors of each chapter will acknowledge those they 10 Criminally Queer are indebted to individually, but collectively we want to thank Thorvaldur quite heartily for generously sharing his knowledge of Icelandic gay and lesbian his- tory with our project. Our lack of knowledge concerning Greenland and the Faroes was partly mended by two trips Jens made there in the summer of 2005. The main purpose of his visits was to investigate the history of the partnership law in the two au- tonomous areas, but he took the opportunity to do some archival work in the Greenlandic High Court and in the Faroese National Archives. He also made interviews to fill in the gaps in his knowledge and participated in the Faroes’ first Pride parade. We all thank Lena Nolsøe of the Faroese National Archives and Søren Søndergaard Hansen of the High Court in Nuuk for the help they granted him, as well as the courageous queers of the Faroes who are making his- tory happen even as we write it. There are others whose help has been instrumental for making this book. First and foremost we thank the NSfK for their financial and moral support, and for letting us discuss the project at the annual NSfK research seminars. We are also indebted to the academic institutions that have provided us with office space and other facilities during the course of the project: the Centre for Gen- der Studies and the History Department at Stockholm University, the Danish National Archives, the Reykjavík Academy and the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Iceland, and the Sociology Department at the University of Helsinki.

From this, an attempt is made to establish deviancy. Comparative evidence, such as literary, runic, legal and folkloric evidence will be used critically to shed perspective on burial practices and the artefacts found within the graves. The thesis will mostly cover burials from the Viking Age (late 8th century to the mid- 11th century), but where the comparative evidence dates from other periods, its validity is discussed accordingly. Two types of deviant burial emerged: the criminal and the victim. A third type, which shows distinctive irregularity yet lacks deviancy, is the healer/witch burial.

  • The Evolution & Politics of First-Wave Queer Activism
    “Glory of Yet Another Kind”: The Evolution & Politics of First-Wave Queer Activism, 1867-1924 GVGK Tang HIST4997: Honors Thesis Seminar Spring 2016 1 “What could you boast about except that you stifled my words, drowned out my voice . But I may enjoy the glory of yet another kind. I raised my voice in free and open protest against a thousand years of injustice.” —Karl Heinrich Ulrichs after being shouted down for protesting anti-sodomy laws in Munich, 18671 Queer* history evokes the familiar American narrative of the Stonewall Uprising and gay liberation. Most people know that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people rose up, like other oppressed minorities in the sixties, with a never-before-seen outpouring of social activism, marches, and protests. Popular historical discourse has led the American public to believe that, before this point, queers were isolated, fractured, and impotent – relegated to the shadows. The postwar era typically is conceived of as the critical turning point during which queerness emerged in public dialogue. This account of queer history depends on a social category only recently invented and invested with political significance. However, Stonewall was not queer history’s first political milestone. Indeed, the modern LGBT movement is just the latest in a series of campaign periods that have spanned a century and a half. Queer activism dawned with a new lineage of sexual identifiers and an era of sexological exploration in the mid-nineteenth century. German lawyer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs was first to devise a politicized queer identity founded upon sexological theorization.2 He brought this protest into the public sphere the day he outed himself to the five hundred-member Association 1 Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, The Riddle of "Man-Manly" Love, trans.

  • Stefan Arnason's Lineage on His Father's Side
    Stefan Arnason’s lineage on his father’s side This is an edited and translated version of a lineage that Judith Fulford (née Arnason) got from the Íslendingabók (see glossary below). I’ve also combine this with information found in the Book of Settlements, the Sturlunga and Njall Sagas, and information on Geni. Please let me know if you spot any errors or other issues. (Jon) The idea was to take Stefan Arnason’s direct patrilineal line back as far as it would go –– a line of fathers and sons with the names highlighted in red. I’ve also added dates of key events in Iceland’s history to try to put some of these lives into the context of the times they lived in. 1 Stefan Arnason (1882 – 1956) Born: August 6, 1882.
