"Provides a lucid and comprehensive analysis of the transformations of British sexual life from 1800 to the present. These changes are firmly located in the wider context of British social, political and cultural life, from industrialization, urbanisation and the impact of Empire and colonisation, through the experience of economic disruption, World Wars, the establishment of the welfare state, changing patterns of gender and the emergence of new sexual identities. This book also charts the rise of both progressive and conservative social movements, including feminism, LGBT activism, and fundamentalist movements. It is a history where the past continues to live in the present, and where the present provides ever more complex, and often controversial patterns of sexual life, with sexual and gender issues at the heart of contemporary politics."--Provided by publisher

Three obvious, superficially simple but actually intensely complex questions embodied in the title immediately confront the reader of Dagmar Herzog's important new book. First, what do we mean by the 'sexuality' that constitutes the subject matter? Second, what is demarcated by the Europe that provides the geo-political boundaries of this study? Third, does the 'twentieth century' provide a useful temporal unity for the narrative and analysis that is at the heart of the book? Such questions are not mere scholarly nit-picking or academic point scoring, but a tribute to the problematising of the body in space and time that has been a hallmark of the deconstructive and reconstructive energy of recent scholarship on the sexual, and that is now making a welcome entry into mainstream history.
El artículo aborda las discusiones sobre la sanción de la Ley de Unión Civil (Civil Partnership Act) en el Reino Unido durante 2004, que legisla el reconocimiento de las uniones entre personas del mismo sexo. Propone una historización de los argumentos teóricos y políticos de organizaciones LGBT y otros sectores de la sociedad británica desde la década de 1960 respecto de criminalización y reconocimiento. Asímismo, analiza el vínculo entre estas discusiones y los debates parlamentarios para dar cuenta de la modalidad de liberalismo que predominó en la estrategia del gobierno. Finalmente, atiende a los debates en la teoría LGBT y queer sobre la noción de heteronormatividad, matrimonio y sus dimensiones éticas y políticas para los modos de resistencia. ; This article considers the debates opened up by the passing of the Civil Partnership Act in the United Kingdom during 2004, which legally recognised same-sex relationships. It ofers a historization and an analysis of the political and theoretical arguments produced by LGBT organisations as well as other sectors of British society since the 1960s around criminalization and recognition. Furthermore, it analyses the relationship between these discussions and Parliamentary debates within the framework of liberalism, in order to understand the specific strategy used by the Labour government in the 2000s and the type of liberalism that prevailed in their strategy. Finally, it considers the debates on marriage and heteronormativity in their ethical and political dimensions regarding queer resistance.
