Studying the History and Character of LGBTQH History
The historiography of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and heterosexual (LGBTQH) history is the self-reflexive study of the processes by which knowledge of LGBTQH history is hypothesized and theorized, empirically researched, and analyzed, interpreted, written, cited, published, and received over time and in different societies.
The historiographer examines the history of LGBTQH history, and analyses the implications of naming and conceptualizing a specifically LGBTQH history, as opposed to, for example, a "homosexual" (and "heterosexual") history, a history of "same-sex and different-sex sexual relations," a history of "same-sex and different-sex "love" or "intimacy," or a history of "queer" and "normal" or "normative" sexuality.
The historiographer examines historians' explicit and implicit starting assumptions, and the implications of those assumptions for their work in LGBTQH history. The historiographer studies how a historian's definition -- in the present, at a specific point in time, in a particular society -- of a specific past object of study affects how that historian understands and presents her/his findings about the LGBTQH past.
The historiographer of LGBTQU history touches on such elements as authorship, sources, evidence, bias, perspective, interpretation, judgment, causation, style, and audience.
Interconnections in LGBTQH history among (alphabetically listed) class, ethnicity, gender, politics, race, religion, and sexuality, have also been major areas of concern to historical researchers, as have connections between the history of sexual and gender terminology and the social-historical organization of power, social structures and institutions, and sexual and gender behaviors and identities.
Historiography is often broken down topically, such as the LGBTQH historiography of a particular nation state (for example, the history of LGBTQH life in the United States, or within the Islamic nations, or in China), or the historiography of particular cities or geographic regions. The rise of globalism and of newly perceived deep interconnections between countries and nations has lead to a stress on international LGBTQH history.
Historiographers study different approaches or genres of history, such as LGBTQH economic history, oral history, political history, or social history. They analyze differences in history written for scholarly readers and popular history written for the general public. They study how history is presented in art, articles, books, movies, popular magazines, scholarly periodicals, on TV and most recently, on the Internet and in other new media.
Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, and the coming out of independent scholars and academy-based historians, a body of writing on on LGBTQH historiography has begun to emerge.[1]
