Scandalous Practices: Homosexuality, Male Prostitution, and Sexual Citizenship in Post-Fascist Italy - Sexuality Studies
Alessio Ponzio
From the 1940s to the 1970s, homosexual men in Italy began to express themselves authentically after years of silence under Fascist repression. In Scandalous Practices, Alessio Ponzio deftly recounts the socio-cultural shifts that occurred for queer Italians during this period. In tabloids and other publications, journalists sensationalized same-sex male prostitution, dramatized scandalous homosexual murders, and portrayed homosexuality as devious, dangerous, and threatening to the "new" post-war masculinity.
Homosexual Italians responded to this public shaming and these negative stereotypes through resistance. As part of an ongoing struggle for gender and sexual equality, they established networks and created public discussions that engendered pride, rights awareness, and a political commitment to emancipation. Ponzio meticulously details how Italy as a nation and culture dealt with emerging representation of queer sexuality through a reinvention that fomented self-understanding and self-representations.
Instead of marginalizing it, the popular media unintentionally made homosexuality understandable to many who did not know what it was or could not make sense of their own desires. Scandalous Practices illustrates how this new sexual knowledge spread publicly across social classes and fostered the development of positive queer identities and communities.
