Abstract

From the time Catterina Vizzani, a young Roman woman, began wooing the woman she was attracted to, she did so dressed as a man. Fleeing Rome to avoid a potential trial for sexual misdeeds, she became Giovanni Bordoni, transitioning and becoming a male in spirit, deed, and body, through what was the most complete physical change possible in the eighteenth century. This volume features Giovanni Bianchi’s 1744 Italian account of Vizzani/Bordoni, published for the first time together with a modern English translation, making available to an English-speaking audience the objective, scientific exploration of gender conducted by Bianchi. John Cleland’s well-known, albeit fanciful, 1751 version of the story has also been reproduced here, shedding light on the divergent sexual politics driving Bianchi’s Italian original and Cleland’s greatly embellished English translation. Through a close examination of Bianchi’s work as anatomical practitioner and scholar, Clorinda Donato traces the development of his advocacy for tolerance of all sexual orientations. Several chapters address the medical and philosophical inquiry into sexual preference, reproduction, sexual identity, and gender fluidity which Enlightenment anatomists from Holland to Italy engaged with in their research concerning the relationship between the mind and the reproductive organs. Meanwhile, it is the social implications of gender ambiguity which may be analysed in Cleland’s condemnation of women who “pass” as men. Drawing on the biographies produced by Bianchi and Cleland, the volume reflects on the motivation of each author to tell the story of Vizzani/Bordoni either as a narration of empowerment or a cautionary tale within the European context of evolving sexual opinions, some based on scientific research, others based on social practice and cultural norms.

Abstract

Grayson Perry, renowned for his ceramic vases decorated with shocking and unconventional imagery, has captured the public imagination. He shot to fame when he won the prestigious Turner Prize, collecting the award wearing a lilac babydoll dress and red pumps. Perry's hard-hitting yet exquisite work, which includes tapestry, prints, sculpture and drawing as well as pots, references his own upbringing and his life as a transvestite while also engaging with issues, from war and religion to politics and sex. In this first major monograph on the artist, writer and art historian Jacky Klein explores his work through a discussion of his major themes and subjects. A completely new chapter examines Perry's fascination with pilgrimage, including many of his most renowned works, such as The Walthamstow Tapestry, The Westfield Vase, the cast-iron sculpture The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman, and the major tapestry cycle The Vanity of Small Differences, inspired by the satirical prints of William Hogarth. Klein's text is complemented by intimate and insightful commentaries on individual pieces by the artist himself, giving unique access to his imaginative world and creative processes. Over 175 of Perry's works are illustrated, as well as a rich selection of the visual material that has inspired him, from Afghan war rugs, Sumatran batiks and medieval altarpieces to the paintings of Pieter Bruegel and the American Outsider artist Henry Darger. With a fully up-to-date biography, bibliography and exhibition history, Grayson Perry continues to be the definitive book on one of the most popular and important artists of our time.

Abstract

Wie lebten homosexuelle, bi-, trans- und intersexuelle Menschen in der NS-Zeit? Welchen Verfolgungsmaßnahmen waren sie ausgesetzt? Diese und andere Fragen beantwortet der vorliegende Sammelband, für den das Institut für Zeitgeschichte München-Berlin und die Bundesstiftung Magnus Hirschfeld verantwortlich zeichnen. Dabei stehen nicht nur Polizei und Justiz im Fokus, sondern auch die politisch-administrative und die gesellschaftliche Repression. Überdies zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren die ganze Vielfalt von Lebenssituationen auf - von Isolation über Tolerierung bis zur Unterstützung des Regimes. Neben der vergleichsweise gut erforschten Geschichte homosexueller Frauen und Männer geht es dabei auch um die bisher wenig beachteten Gruppen bi-, trans- und intersexueller Menschen - ein Ansatz, der Licht in ein kaum bekanntes Kapitel der Gesellschaftsgeschichte des Dritten Reichs bringt.
