Abstract

Heinz-Jürgen Voß offers an exciting overview of the historical development of the construct of homosexuality and the associated biologistic explanatory approaches. In doing so, the focus is on the German-speaking world first. The overview illustrates how strongly research on the topic of homosexuality is trapped in a categorial and pathologizing interpretive pattern and that many of the respective works directly or indirectly follow in the tradition of National Socialist researchers. The framework of this little book does only allow for a short overview, which had, however, been missing in the German-speaking world up to now. It is suitable both for activists and for people who deal with the topic scientifically.
