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.\u003ci\u003e Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life Writing\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life Writing\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ina Linge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472039318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472039319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Ina Linge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44212971831551,"sku":"9780472039319","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff6aee78-7279-4abc-ab46-5dd1df54084e.jpg?v=1692111323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-livability-ina-linge-9780472039319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
