Abstract

This article analyses a selection of Nicola Pende's studies from the 1920s on 'endocrinological abnormalities' associated with impotence, a lack of virility in men, a lack of femininity in women, and homosexuality. By analysing endocrinological sexual theories and treatments, it aims to illustrate the ways in which hormone research pioneered an innovative approach to the study of sexual behaviour in Italian sexology, and to show how it was used to normalise individuals. It demonstrates how endocrinology promoted an understanding of the body and sexual desire in which the attributes of masculinity and femininity, and even of sexual orientation, were thought to be malleable and subject to deliberate engineering.
意大利性学,尼古拉·彭德的生物类型学和20世纪20年代的激素疗法。
这篇文章分析了Nicola Pende在20世纪20年代关于“内分泌异常”与阳痿、男性缺乏阳刚之气、女性缺乏女性气质和同性恋相关的研究。通过分析内分泌学的性理论和治疗方法,本书旨在说明激素研究在意大利性学的性行为研究中开创了一种创新的方法,并展示了它是如何被用来使个体正常化的。它展示了内分泌学如何促进了人们对身体和性欲的理解,在这种理解中,男性气质和女性气质,甚至性取向的属性,都被认为是可塑的,受蓄意工程的影响。
