项目摘要

The book which will be completed during the fellowship takes queer history indoors to explore the shifting relationship between homosexuality, home and family from the late nineteenth to the early twenty first century. It questions the exclusion of queer men from the narratives of home, domesticity and family which have been so central to British social and cultural history, and extends histories of male homosexual subjectivity, identity and community which have tended to focus on public or semi-public spaces. The book (contracted to Palgrave Macmillan for July 2012) historicises and contextualises recent legal, social and cultural change (and in particular civil partnership and adoption legislation) and draws out shifting ideas and everyday experiences of home over the long century since the sexological and psychoanalytic descriptions of the invert and homosexual. It does not simply look at these 'types' of men in an additional set of spaces, however. Instead it explores the ways in which homosexual subjectivities may have been configured differently within the domestic sphere and considers the impact various domestic arrangements had on political, creative, sexual and social lives. It asks how these arrangements resonated with broader ideals and lived experiences of home and family; considers the significance of class, migration, race, political consciousness, locality, biological kin and friendship networks to the way households functioned; looks at connections with wider queer cultures and 'homes from home' (pubs and hotels, for example); and explores the (often curtailed) options available to queer men in relation to rental and housing markets, social housing, and squats and communes. The book will be anchored in eight case study households taken from across the period. These will allow for a detailed and contextually grounded exploration of relationships between shifting ideologies of gender, sexuality and domesticity and individual domestic imperatives and choices. The approach facilitates a research conversation with other recent case study rich histories of home and intimacy (Cohen, 2006; Marcus, 2007) and with those queer histories of London which have looked more to the public realm (Cocks, 2003; Cook, 2003; Houlbrook, 2005). The case studies have been selected to illuminate different circulating perceptions of queer home life in relation to lived experience, and especially regarding domestic aesthetics, family, bedsitterland, suburban living, communes and squats, domestic contingencies associated with HIV and AIDS, and the implications of new legislation. They also facilitate consideration of how queer homes have been recorded and represented - privately via photographs, home movies, and diaries, and more publicly in fiction, theatre, autobiography and film. Different sources come into particular focus in relation to different case studies: scrapbooks, letters, diaries, and photographs are to the fore with the earlier households; oral history testimonies (including 25 gathered as part of this research), home movies and actual homes under scrutiny for the later ones. Such different source materials, the book will show, give different kinds of access to intimate lives and histories. Techniques and analytical perspectives from cultural and social history, sociology, cultural geography, and literary and film studies especially are deployed to weave the book's narrative and argument and to explore tensions, disjunctions and intersections between histories of discourse and histories of everyday lives; between indoor domestic spaces and other realms.

这本书将在奖学金期间完成，将酷儿历史带入室内，探索从十九世纪末到二十世纪初同性恋、家庭和家庭之间关系的转变。它质疑酷儿男性被排除在英国社会和文化历史中至关重要的家庭叙事之外，并延伸了男性同性恋主体性、身份和社区的历史，这些历史往往侧重于公共或半公共空间。这本书（2012 年 7 月与帕尔格雷夫·麦克米伦签订）历史性地描述了最近的法律、社会和文化变革（特别是民事伴侣关系和收养立法），并描绘了自对性倒错和同性恋进行性学和精神分析描述以来的一个世纪以来不断变化的观念和家庭的日常经历。然而，它并不是简单地在一组额外的空间中观察这些“类型”的男性。相反，它探讨了同性恋主体性在家庭范围内可能以不同方式配置的方式，并考虑了各种家庭安排对政治、创造性、性和社会生活的影响。它询问这些安排如何与更广泛的理想以及家庭和家庭的生活经历产生共鸣；考虑阶级、移民、种族、政治意识、地域、亲缘关系和友谊网络对家庭运作方式的重要性；着眼于与更广泛的酷儿文化和“家外之家”（例如酒吧和酒店）的联系；并探讨了酷儿男性在租赁和住房市场、社会住房、占屋和公社方面可以选择的（通常是有限的）选择。这本书将以该时期的八个家庭案例为研究对象。这些将允许对不断变化的性别、性和家庭生活意识形态与个人家庭需要和选择之间的关系进行详细和基于背景的探索。这种方法促进了与最近其他丰富的家庭和亲密历史案例研究（Cohen，2006；Marcus，2007）以及那些更多地关注公共领域的伦敦酷儿历史（Cocks，2003；Cook，2003；Houlbrook，2005）的研究对话。这些案例研究的选择是为了阐明与生活经验相关的酷儿家庭生活的不同流行看法，特别是关于家庭美学、家庭、卧床不起、郊区生活、公社和占屋、与艾滋病毒和艾滋病相关的家庭突发事件以及新立法的影响。它们还有助于思考酷儿家庭是如何被记录和表现的——私下通过照片、家庭电影和日记，以及更公开的小说、戏剧、自传和电影。在不同的案例研究中，不同的来源受到特别关注：剪贴簿、信件、日记和照片是早期家庭的重点；口述历史证词（包括作为本研究的一部分收集的 25 份证词）、家庭电影以及后来受到审查的真实家庭。本书将展示，这些不同的来源材料提供了不同的方式来了解亲密的生活和历史。特别运用文化和社会史、社会学、文化地理学以及文学和电影研究的技巧和分析视角来编织本书的叙事和论点，并探索话语史和日常生活史之间的紧张、脱节和交叉点；室内空间和其他领域之间。
