KURZE BESCHREIBUNG/ANMERKUNGEN: A detailed historical look at the surprising ways in which the uninhibited urban ***uality, ***ual experimentation and medical advances of pre Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of ***ual orientation and gay identity. AUSFÜHRLICHERE BESCHREIBUNG: An unprecedented examination of the ways in which the uninhibited urban ***uality, ***ual experimentation, and medical advances of pre-Weimar Berlin created and molded our modern understanding of ***ual orientation and gay identity.Known already in the 1850s for the friendly company of its "warm brothers" (German slang for men who love other men), Berlin, before the turn of the twentieth century, became a place where scholars, activists, and medical professionals could explore and begin to educate both themselves and Europe about new and emerging ***ual identities. From Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German activist described by some as the first openly gay man, to the world of Berlin's vast homo***ual subcultures, to a major *** scandal that enraptured the daily newspapers and shook the court of Emperor William II-and on through some of the very first *** reassignment surgeries-Robert Beachy uncovers the long-forgotten events and characters that continue to shape and influence the way we think of ***uality today.Chapter by chapter Beachy's scholarship illuminates forgotten firsts, including the life and work of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, first to claim (in 1896) that same-*** desire is an immutable, biologically determined characteristic, and founder of the Institute for ***ual Science. Though raided and closed down by the Nazis in 1933, the institute served as, among other things, "a veritable incubator for the science of tran-***uality," scene of one of the world's first *** reassignment surgeries. Fascinating, surprising, and informative- Gay Berlin is certain to be counted as a foundational cultural examination of human ***uality. BUCHBESPRECHUNG: Winner of the 2015 Randy Shilts Award"Excellent and richly documented. . . . The significance of Beachy's book goes beyond his findings on the German roots of the conclusion that homo***uality is a biologically fixed trait. Beachy's work must also be considered in the larger context of a shift in cultural studies." -V.R. Berghahn, New York Times Book Review"Beachy's cultivation of the 'other' Germany, heterogeneous and progressive, is especially welcome. . . . At the same time, Beachy enlarges our understanding of how the international gay-rights movement eventually prospered, despite the setbacks that it experienced not only in Nazi Germany but also in mid-century America." -Alex Ross, The New Yorker"An elucidating, somewhat startling study of how early German tolerance and liberalism encouraged homo***ual expression. . . . A brave new work of compelling research." - Kirkus"This lucidly written narrative includes enough spice (accounts of scandals, secret identities, and crimes) to draw in a general readership. However, Beachy's deeply researched, carefully structured book is foremost an impressive piece of scholarship." -Publishers Weekly (starred)"A superb work of historical reclamation-by far the best account we have of the formative years of homo***ual identity and emancipation, it is brilliantly researched and beautifully written." -Martin Duberman, Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus, CUNY AUSZUG AUS DEM BUCH: -&enspChapter One&ensp-The German Invention of Homo***ualityWhen considering the questions "What is natural?" and "What is unnatural?" it is paramount to apply a standard that is not foreign to one's own nature.karl ulrichs, "Vindex: Social--Juristic Studies of Male--Male Love," 1864On a bright Thursday morning in late August 1867, the German lawyer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a former member of the civil service in the kingdom of Hanover, approached the Odeon concert hall in Munich. Since the beginning of the week, the Association of German Jurists had been assembling in this magnificent neoclassical structure to present papers and discuss the legal issues of the day. The professional group included lawyers, officials, bureaucrats, and legal academics from the thirty--nine states and cities of the former German Confederation, a loose association created at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. This imposing body of Ulrichs's colleagues made up the government establishment of the nascent German Empire. Dressed formally even in the midst of summer, they had first met in 1860 to facilitate great tasks of statecraft. As ardent nationalists, they hoped to promote German legal unification, even before the emergence of a nation--state. Although the jurists' political program would have important consequences for the incipient German state, Ulrichs's appearance at the Odeon marked a revolution all its own. He was preparing to address his professional colleagues on an unmentionable subject, same--*** love, and to protest the various German anti--sodomy laws that criminalized it.Ulrichs had celebrated his birthday the day before, and now, at the age of forty--two, he hoped to deliver a speech for which he arguably had spent most of his adulthood preparing. As a university student, he had recognized that he was attracted to other men. This ***ual peculiarity and rumors of his intimate affairs had forced him to resign the only professional position he had ever held, as a government official. Finally, in an act of enormous courage, he disclosed his secret to his closest kin. Raised in a pious Christian family whose extended members included numerous Lutheran clergy, Ulrichs struggled for years with heart and intellect to make sense of his seemingly unacceptable feelings. Were they unnatural? Had he somehow caused them himself, through actions of his own? He examined carefully his own motivations and desires he scoured legal and scientific publications on the topic. Following the tradition of the great Protestant reformer Martin Luther, Ulrichs countered prevailing beliefs and developed a theory of his own selfhood--though defined in ***ual, not spiritual, terms--forming the conviction that he must face down an established authority and counter centuries of prejudice. To that end, since 1864, Ulrichs had published pamphlets under a pseudonym, arguing his case that ***ual deviance was an endowment of nature and must be respected.But on that morning in August, crossing Munich's imposing Odeonsplatz, framed by government and cultural buildings, past the grand loggia of the Field Marshals' Hall and the baroque spires and dome of the Theatine Church, Ulrichs felt his heart palpitate almost audibly as he neared the Odeon hall. As he would later recount, an inner voice whispered, "There is still time to keep silent. Simply waive your request to speak, and then your heart can stop pounding." But Ulrichs also remembered those "comrades" who were anticipating his protest--"Was I to answer their trust in me with cowardice?"--and he recalled a desperate acquaintance who had committed suicide to escape criminal pros-ecution for sodomy and the public humiliation that would have followed. "With breast beating," Ulrichs entered the building, mounted the speaker's platform, and began reading his text to more than five hundred professional colleagues. "Gentlemen," he int BIOGRAFIE Beachy, Robert: Robert Beachy hat deutsche Geschichte studiert und an der Universität Chicago promoviert.
