几十年来,性的历史一直是一个多学科的项目,服务于相互竞争的议程。女同性恋、男同性恋和酷儿学者通过追踪同性恋或酷儿主题的连续性,将其视为连续或不连续,从而产生了强有力的叙事。然而,围绕着正常或不正常的身份分类来组织历史工作,往往掩盖了过去人们是如何认识或谈论性问题的。以妇女在第一次世界大战期间的工作经历、友谊和社区为背景,《令人不安的做法》利用大量新的档案材料,揭露了当前做法中仍然存在的障碍,并设想了新的替代方案。在这本具有里程碑意义的书中,劳拉多安澄清了身份历史的伦理价值和政治目的--事实上,它有能力引发酷儿研究和批判历史之间持续交流的创新实践。“令人不安的做法”坚持认真对待的必要性,走出身份的逻辑,以解决问题,但尚未提出有关现代性的过去。
For decades, the history of sexuality has been a multidisciplinary project serving competing agendas. Lesbian, gay, and queer scholars have produced powerful narratives by tracing the continuity of homosexual or queer subject as continuous or discontinuous. Yet organizing historical work around categories of identity as normal or abnormal often obscures how sexual matters were known or talked about in the past. Set against the backdrop of women's work experiences, friendships, and communities during World War I, "Disturbing Practices" draws on a substantial body of new archival material to expose the roadblocks still present in current practices and imagine new alternatives. In this landmark book, Laura Doan clarifies the ethical value and political purpose of identity history - and indeed its very capacity to give rise to innovative practices borne of sustained exchange between queer studies and critical history. "Disturbing Practices" insists on taking seriously the imperative to step outside the logic of identity to address questions as yet unasked about the modern sexual past.
