  • John Boswell: Posting Historical Landmarks at the Leading Edge of the Culture Wars

    John Boswell: Posting Historical Landmarks at the Leading Edge of the Culture Wars

    John Boswell: Posting Historical Landmarks at the Leading Edge of the Culture Wars JEFFREY CISNEROS UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT S AN ANTONIO INTRODUCTION ne of the most enduring and controversial figures in the field of history is OJohn E. Boswell. His work on homosexuality and the history of the Christian Church was published at a key time during the Stonewall Riots in the late 1960s and the removal of homosexuality from the list of diagnostic mental disorders in the mid 1970s. This social upheaval created a dynamic that not only influenced Boswell personally but contributed to the vehement reac- tion to his book Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century. Written in 1980, this book has profoundly influenced the- ological debates in numerous Christian denominations, particularly in the United States. Boswell earned his PhD at Harvard in 1975 and was immediately hired in a tenure-track position at Yale University (curriculum vitae, Boswell Papers). His first book was based on his doctoral dissertation, The Royal Treasure: Muslim Communities Under the Crown of Aragon in the Fourteenth Century, which displayed his gifts as a medieval philologist working in Catalan, Aragonese, Castilian, French, and Latin with equal facility. The book investi- gated mudejeres (later called moriscos), Muslims living under Christian pro- tection prior to 1492 who did not convert to Christianity. The book received favorable reviews, and Boswell developed a reputation as an Iberian scholar with a talent for languages and an interest in the religions of medieval Western Europe.

    The Homosexual Temptation of the Son in Milton's

    Connotations Vol. 21.2-3 (2011/2012) The Homosexual Temptation of the Son in Milton’s Paradise Regained: A Reply to John T. Shawcross and Claude J. Summers1* DAVID V. URBAN In “Milton’s Paradise Regain’d and the Second Temptation,” John T. Shawcross engages Claude J. Summers’s discussion of the “homosex- ual implications” of the “[t]all stripling youths rich clad, of fairer hew / Then Ganymed or Hylas” who attend the banquet with which Satan tempts Milton’s Son in Book 2 of Paradise Regained. Shawcross states that “this sexual interruption subtly recalls the widespread rumor of Jesus’s homosexuality, which persisted into the seventeenth century, as Milton must have been aware” (35; Shawcross cites Paradise Re- gained 2.352-53). Shawcross’s mention of this “widespread rumor” is made in a matter-of-fact manner, but his only evidence for this affir- mation appears in an endnote that follows his statement: “Summers cites references to this allegation; see 60-61 [of Summers] and notes 10 and 11” (39). However, an investigation of Summers’s article reveals two important problems: firstly, Summers never claims that any such rumor was “widespread”; and secondly, Summers’s own evidence for this rumor ranges from dubious to misleading. First, Summers briefly discusses in his article “a little-known and even less frequently acknowledged heresy that posits a homosexual relation- ship between Jesus and John the Beloved Disciple, who describes himself throughout his gospel as the best loved of the disciples” (60; italics mine). Summers, therefore, never represents any perception of *References: John T.

    Boswell, John (1947-1994) by Matthew D. Johnson Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com John Eastburn Boswell was one of the late twentieth century's most influential historians of homosexuality and author of one of the first book-length histories on the subject. Born in Boston in 1947 into a military family, Boswell earned his undergraduate degree from William and Mary. A gifted medieval philologist, he received his doctorate from Harvard University in 1975, whereupon he joined the Yale University history faculty; he was made full professor in 1982. In 1987, Boswell helped organize the Lesbian and Gay Studies Center at Yale, which is now the Research Fund for Lesbian and Gay Studies. He was named the A. Whitney Griswold Professor of History in 1990, when he was also appointed to a two-year term as chair of the Yale history department. Boswell's first book was a well-received revision of his Harvard dissertation entitled The Royal Treasure: Muslim Communities under the Crown of Aragon in the Fourteenth Century, published in 1977. He later remarked that, given the academic climate of the 1970s, he felt it was necessary to earn his credentials as a "mainstream" historian before he could turn his attention to the subject that most engaged him, the emerging field of gay studies. In 1980 Boswell published his second book, the volume destined to make his reputation: Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality. Its radical argument--that homosexual behavior between men was tolerated, even at times celebrated, by Roman Catholics prior to thirteenth-century church reforms--drew the ire of both gay studies scholars and conservative critics even as it guaranteed Boswell a large and enthusiastic popular readership.

Sophrosune is translated variously as “prudence,” “temper- ance,” “wisdom”; it suggests “a well-developed consciousness of oneself and one’s legitimate duties in relation to others (where it will involve self-restraint and showing due respect) and in relation to one’s own ambitions, social standing, and the relevant expectations as regards one’s own behavior”: John M.

It is a work of painstaking scholarship, revealing the attitudes of the people to homo· sexuality in many different parts of Western Europe over a long period of time. In general, the author documents his assertions copiously; learned footnotes are found on practically every page and several appendices provide discussion about the difficulties of Pauline Greek terms and supply complete documents or gener­ ous excerpts from important works on the subject. But with all its learning the book suffers from a lack of objectivity in its interpretation of the data.

By JOHN BOSWELL. New York: Villard Books. 1994. Pp. 412. I. INTRODUCTION Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe is a scholarly attempt which, through an examination of Western history, proposes that same-sex marriage existed in classical and medieval cultures, and, indeed, is part of the same Western culture which now excludes it.I Controversial as it may sound, more important to this history than the discovery of same-sex unions in the Western tradition is the book's underlying argument that marriage is a socially, not naturally, constructed institu­ tion, tailored to fit society's needs, mores, and beliefs.2 With this strong argument, the modern world is called on to reexamine its belief that marriage is by definition an opposite-sex partnership.3 Such a belief may indeed be misplaced, if not downright erroneous, given the his- * Staff Member, BOSTON COLLEGE THIRD WORLD LAw JOURNAL.

JOHN’S COLLEGE FALL 2017 VOLUME 42, ISSUE 2 Confucius A Foundation of Eastern Thought OPENING NOTE During these past 12 months, you may have read articles in The College and on our website highlighting the 50th anniversary celebration of the Gradu- ate Institute—stories about such alumni as Ariel Winnick (SF11, EC12), who is studying medicine at Ben- Gurion University’s Medical School for International Health in Israel; Mary-Charlotte Domandi (SFGI91), an award-winning broadcast journal- ist; and David Hysong (AGI11), whose success in cancer therapy development landed him in Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30.” You may have also recon- nected with fellow alumni at Home- coming this fall in Annapolis or Santa Fe, where special seminars, dinners, and other events took place to mark the milestone anniversary. In this issue of The College, we continue to recognize GI alumni accomplishments. We also shine light on a key enterprise in the history of the Graduate Institute: the Eastern Classics program. Founded more than 20 years ago on the Santa Fe campus, David McDonald (SF95) describes the EC program as “a way of seeing how the human mind responds to universal problems and universal questions.” Sound familiar? Like Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, and Woolf, the Eastern Classics authors—Confucius, Lao Tzu, Kālidāsa, and Sei Shōnagon, among others—beckon us to exam- ine human nature through a fresh lens that is both timeless and timely, unique and universal.

She left a job at the Rockefeller Foundation in 2003 to start her own global nonprofit organization, working with communities around the globe, focusing on African nations. She travels internationally approximately four months of the year, helping people advocate for themselves for social change. Her work includes clean water initiatives, vaccination campaigns, education for females, and HIV/AIDS prevention. I will never forget the moment she told me “After visiting clinics and seeing AIDS patients die, I would rather be shot in the face than infected with HIV.” This is one of the most powerful statements I have ever heard, and it shaped the person that I am now. Hearing words like this from my mother put the fear of HIV in me, so I decided to educate myself about the virus in order to be an advocate for prevention.
