Within the Judeo-Christian tradition, Sodom and Gomorrah represent locales in which threats to national formation are couched in sexual terms. The biblical narrative insists on a particular social invisibility for those sexual activities not blessed by the bonds of matrimony. 'Reclaiming Sodom' surveys a number of institutions that have had an interest in perpetuating these views: the police, the state, the church and the law. The collection ranges through biblical scholarship, an investigation of the Founding Fathers' beliefs, the legal mobilization towards the category of sodomy in 18th and 19th century England, and the US Supreme Court's 1986 'Bowers vs. Hardwick' decision. Analysis is provided of the ways in which the Judeo-Christian tradition has shaped anthropological accounts of the same-sex practices of non-Western people, as well as essays on how colonial gestures have marked lesbian identity in the Carribean, and derformed narratives about the racial geography ofAIDS. 'Reclaiming Sodom' explores alternatives to the force of the Sodomitic biblical narrative in Islamic, non-western, and western traditions, and discusses the ways in which sodomy calls into question normative definitions of sexuality and gender. The collection pursues the "pleasures and dangers" of these alternatives, and takes on Proust's refusal to imagine a social movement founded on the "stigma" of Sodom. The collection examines the relations between sex/gender identities and sexual acts in important and provocative ways, and argues for the political use and usefulness of both Sodom and sodomy. 'Reclaiming Sodom' makes an important and controversial contribution to the literature on sexuality and gender, as well as the nature of sex in our culture.

Cet essai propose une synthèse sur la conception de l'homosexualité à la Renaissance, à la fois dans les discours religieux, juridique, médical, ethnographique, pamphlétaire et littéraire. L'analyse des "discours de la condamnation" trace les contours des interdits en matière de sexualité au XVIe siècle, tandis que l'étude des récits de voyage établit la mise en place d'une représentation des "perversions de l'Autre". La mise en scène et la mise en texte de la figure exemplaire du roi Henri III permettent ensuite de comprendre comment s'est durablement cristallisée la légende du dernier des Valois. Pour finir, la représentation de l'homosexualité est élargie aux "travestissements littéraires" vus comme des lieux de mise en condition de l'imaginaire collectif.

"The Southern Low Countries were among Europe's core regions for the repression of sodomy during the late medieval period. As the first comprehensive study on sodomy in the Southern Low Countries, this book charts the prosecution of sodomy in some of the region's leading cities, such as Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, from 1400 to 1700 and explains the reasons behind local differences and variations in the intensity of prosecution over time. Through a critical examination of a range of sources, this study also considers how the urban fabric perceived sodomy and provides a broader interpretive framework for its meaning, and menace, for the local culture"--
