SUMMARY:Gay Berlin: A Lecture by Robert Beachy
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated lecture by Robert Beachy\, author of “Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a Modern Identity” (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\, 2014)\, chronicles how culture in Berlin in the early twentieth century shaped our modern understanding of homosexuality. By beginning of the new century Berlin had become a place where scholars\, activists\, and medical professionals could explore and begin to educate both themselves and Europe about new and emerging sexual identities.  \nNot only was the term “homosexuality” originally a German invention (Homosexualität)\, Berlin also sponsored the world’s first gay rights organization and the first gay periodical. This talk considers this academic climate\, as well as the uninhibited urban sexuality of 1920s Weimar Berlin\, which boasted a vast network of gay\, lesbian\, and “transvestite” clubs and other associations. Berlin of the 1920s was a place of tremendous cultural and scientific experimentation\, including innovative theories of gender and transsexuality. \nLocation & Parking:\n The Dohney Memorial Library is located at the center of USC’s University Park Campus.\, adjacent to Alumni Park and across from Bovard Auditorium.
