Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. 2003 ed. On November 17, 1901, Mexico City police raided a private party and arrested 41 men, half of whom were dressed as women. This clandestine transvestite ball was apparently not an unheard of phenomenon at the time, although it was not normally something that would gain national attention. However, Mexican cultural trends in literature, in art, in the sciences and in journalism were inciting an atmosphere of sexual curiosity that was in search of the right turn of events to ignite a discursive explosion and focus interest on what was not a new phenomenon, but what was about to become a new concept: homosexuality. The "nefarious ball" scandalized Mexico City and is still part of the city's lore. It provoked social commentary on the state of masculinity in Mexico; it lived, and lives on, in popular culture; it has spawned a novel, as well as songs, ditties, engravings by famous Mexican artists and other cultural artifacts. The editors take the scandal as the point of departure for a book that examines issues of sexuality and social control in Mexico at the turn of the century.The ball is treated as a cultural event in itself - the editors have assembled pictures, have translated part of a historical novel about the event, and include the famous engravings of Posada while, at the same time, including essays that broadly speak about the underworld in Mexico City. What emerges from this volume is a comprehensive slice of history that includes essays on working class minorities, prison conditions, criminology, mental health discourse, etc.

Aggiungi al carrelloTaschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On November 17, 1901, Mexico City police raided a private party and arrested 41 men, half of whom were dressed as women. Clandestine transvestite balls were not unheard of at this time, and a raid would not normally gain national attention. However, Mexican cultural trends in literature, art, the sciences, and in journalism were inciting an atmosphere of sexual curiosity that was in search of the right turn of events to ignite a discursive explosion and focus interest on what was not a new phenomenon, but what was about to become a new concept: homosexuality. The editors treat the 'nefarious' ball as a cultural event in itself and have assembled pictures, including the famous engravings by Posada, and have translated part of an historical novel about the event. At the same time, they uncover the underworld in Mexico City with essays on prison conditions, criminology, mental health discourse, and working class masculinities to create a rare and comprehensive slice of Mexican history at the turn of the century.
