The Cambridge World History of Sexualities
Volume III provides in-depth analyses of specific times and places in the history of world sexualities, to investigate more closely the lived experience of individuals and groups to reveal the diversity of human sexualities. Comprising twenty-five chapters, this volume covers ancient Athens, Rome, and Constantinople; eighth- and ninth-century Chang'an, ninth- and tenth-century Baghdad, and tenth- through twelfth-century Kyoto; fourteenth- and fif…
Homonationalism, LGBT desaparecidos , and the politics of queer memory in Argentina
Although homonationalism is a fundamental category in queer studies, it has never been used to understand the history of the Argentine lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender movement and the emergence of a hegemonic queer memory based on the self-representation of Argentina as a “European-like” and “white” nation that often claims to be different from “the rest” of Latin America. This article examines the history of the Argentine construction of whi…
Race And Politics In Peruvian And Argentine Porn Under The Transition To Democracy, 1975-1985
This paper examines the articulation of race, class, gender, and politics in erotic magazines during the Argentine and Peruvian destapes in the transition from dictatorial to democratic rule at the turn to the 1980s. We argue that porn, as a genre, was not limited to a niche of readers seeking to use the magazines only for erotic purposes. In Peru, porn was one of the main agents in the opposition to military rule, and it only became a separate, …
Historical trends leading to the same-sex marriage law in Argentina1
This article analyzes the social transformations converging in “the revolution of LGBT rights” in Argentina. Unlike other short-term perspectives focusing on the strategies of LGBT organizations and on sudden and recent shifts in politics, our study concentrates on the historical transformations of varying length that established the conditions under which the struggle for same-sex marriage could succeed. Among other trends, we will analyze the c…
Foucault, capitalismo y sexualidad
Este artículo realiza un analisis del concepto de “capitalismo” en la Historia de la Sexualidad de Michel Foucault publicada en 1976 detallando el debate teórico con el marxismo y el neoliberalismo. En oposición a las nociones contractualistas, Foucault fundó una nueva agenda de investigación que distanciandose de la hipótesis represiva caracterizaba a la sexualidad como unidad artificial de caracter histórico relativamente reciente. El autor pro…
Dictatorial Rule and Sexual Politics in Argentina
The Frente de Liberación Homosexual (FLH, 1967-1976) was the first political movement of homosexual men in Argentina. Despite its short life span, this organization set the ground for future developments. The FLH emerged in the context of increasing authoritarianism rather than being the result of a transition to democracy. The relationship with homophobic Peronists and left-wing traditions was, paradoxically, crucial for the emergence of the FLH…
Chimneys in the Desert
The high rate of Argentine industrial growth between 1930 and 1970 took place under an umbrella of protectionism and government intervention in the economy that developed as a worldwide trend. During this era, Argentine scholars from across the political spectrum concluded that industrial growth could not take place on the global economic periphery without these interventionist policies. From populism to desarrollismo, the consensus claimed that …
Freud in the Pampas. The Emergence and development of a Psychoanalytic Culture in Argentina. Mariano BEN PLOTKIN
This study stands in opposition to some of the generally accepted views of the history of this discipline, including those seeking to pinpoint the "real" current in psychoanalysis. By contrast, Mariano Ben Plotkin adopts a "historical approach" that focuses on the many ways in which different cultures affected the reception of psychoanalysis in Argentina. Accordingly, the author rejects a reconstruction of the past that assumes that psychoanalysi…
