This book brings together an exciting new archive of queer and
trans voices from the history of sexual sciences in the
German-speaking world. A new language to express possibilities of
gender and sexuality emerged at the turn of the twentieth century,
from Sigmund Freud’s theories of homosexuality in Vienna to
Magnus Hirschfeld’s “third sex” in Berlin.
Together, they provided a language of sex and sexuality that is
still recognizable today. Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences
and Life Writing shows that individual voices of trans and queer
writers had a significant impact on the production of knowledge
about gender and sexuality during this time and introduces lesser
known texts to a new readership. It shows the remarkable power of
queer life writing in imagining and creating the possibilities of a
livable life in the face of restrictive legal, medical, and social
frameworks. Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life
Writing will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about
LGBTQ+ history and literature. It also provides a fascinating
insight into the historical roots for our thinking about gender and
sexuality today. The book will be of relevance to an academic
readership of students and faculty in German studies, literary
studies, European history, and the interdisciplinary fields of
gender and sexuality studies, medical humanities, and the history
of sexuality.
