摘要

这篇文章追溯了1950年到1975年间英国男同性恋者在欧洲大陆的休闲旅行。本文的目的是挑战战后英国性权利话语的叙述,因为它与欧洲大陆隔绝。本书采用了一种跨国的方法,考察了英国是如何融入整个欧洲的社会和文化变革进程的,它描绘了在战后旅游热潮中,同性恋者自己形成的非正式相遇和文化交流网络。我利用大英图书馆声音档案的口述历史,强调了同性恋社会空间在性自我的产生和表现中的作用,并确立了在英国同性恋仍然被定为犯罪的时期,富裕是如何为性自我发展提供空间的。它探索了同性恋旅行者的两种不同类型的假期,通过一种生活写作的方式进行了研究——阿姆斯特丹城市度假和南欧海滩度假——并展示了这些经历如何塑造了他们的自我概念和对国内更宽容社会的希望。在揭示外国形式的同性恋社交如何影响国内政治时,我主张在追踪战后政治和社会变革时,更强调英国与欧洲大陆的纠葛。

‘To get freedom, one went abroad a lot’: British Homosexual Men and Continental Europe as a Site of Emancipation, 1950–75
This article traces the leisure travel of British homosexual men in continental Europe between 1950 and 1975. The aim of this article is to challenge narratives of British post-war sexual rights discourses as isolated from continental Europe. Taking a transnational approach, which examines the ways in which Britain was embedded in processes of social and cultural change across Europe, it charts informal encounters and networks of cultural communication forged by homosexual men themselves during the post-war tourist boom. Using Oral Histories deposited at the British Library Sound Archive, I emphasize the role of homosocial spaces in the production and performance of the sexual self and establish how affluence provided access to spaces for sexual self-development during a period when homosexuality remained criminalized in Britain. It explores two distinct types of holidays taken by homosexual travellers, examined via a life writing approach—the Amsterdam city break and the southern European beach holiday—and shows how these experiences shaped their self-conception and hopes for a more tolerant society at home. In revealing how foreign forms of homosexual sociability influenced domestic politics, I argue for a stronger emphasis on British entanglements with continental Europe when tracing political and social transformations during the post-war period.
