Abstract

Using the life-writing of historian and playwright Muriel St. Clare Byrne (1895-1983), this article develops the concept of a non-binary historical methodology. It argues that historians should take gender as a historically contingent category to allow alternative logics of embodiment, selfhood, desire, and relationality to be more clearly seen. Drawing on trans studies, the article situates Byrne within contemporary conversations about universal bi-sexuality within sexology and psychoanalysis. Her rewriting of the psychosexual model in her memoir, which underwrote a claim to ‘both her sexes’, represents one of the paths foreclosed by the mid-century turn to the gender/sex/sexuality model.

“你的两性”:性别历史、跨性别研究和现代英国自我形成的非二元途径

本文利用历史学家和剧作家穆丽尔·圣克莱尔·伯恩(1895-1983)的生平写作，发展了非二元历史方法论的概念。它认为，历史学家应该把性别作为一个历史上偶然的范畴，以便更清楚地看到体现、自我、欲望和关系的替代逻辑。借助跨性别研究，这篇文章将伯恩置于性学和精神分析中关于普遍双性恋的当代对话中。她在回忆录中对性心理模型进行了重写，声称“她的两性都是”，这代表了本世纪中叶转向性别/性/性模式所阻止的道路之一。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
