Der dänische Soziologe Henning BECH beschreibt in einer lesenswerten Studie aus dem Jahr 1997 die Entstehung und Phänomenologie der "homosexuellen Existenzform". Im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert seien "Homosexuelle" als Avantgarde einer modernen urbanen Lebensform in Erscheinung getreten. Heute sei ihre Lebensform nicht mehr typisch für "Homosexuelle", da sie unter den Bedingungen der Spätmoderne "Homosexuelle" wie "Heterosexuelle" gleichermaßen betreffe. Unter den medialen Bedingungen der "Telestädte" habe sich der "Geschlechterkampf" in ein "Geschlechterspiel" verwandelt, wobei sich Männer (und Frauen) mittels einer "cultural wardrobe" inszenierten. Sexualität stehe dabei im Zentrum, weil sich Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit heute nur noch so erleben ließen.... view less

The Danish sociologist Henning BECH describes in his excellent study from 1997 the formation and phenomenology of a "homosexual form of existence". In the late 19th century "homosexuals" were the avant-garde of a modern, urban way of life. Nowadays this type of lifestyle is not typical just for "homosexuals" but it concerns both the "homosexuals" and "heterosexuals" alike: the social "gender conflict" has evolved under the conditions of the "Telecities" into a "gender game" by which men and women express themselves through their "cultural wardrobes". We find sexuality in the center of this game as it seems to be the only remaining way to experience "being a man or a woman".... view less

El sociológo danés Henning BECH describe en su excelente estudio de 1997 la formación y fenomenología de una "forma homosexual de existencia". A finales del siglo XIX "los homosexuales" eran el avant-garde de la vida moderna urbana. En nuestros días este tipo de estilo de vida no es típico solamente de los "homosexuales" sino de "homosexuales" y "heterosexuales": el "conflicto social del género" ha evolucionado en las "Teleciudades" hacia un "juego del género" mediante el cual los hombres y las mujeres se expresan a través de sus "guardarropas culturales". Encontramos a la sexualidad en el centro de este juego como si fuese la única manera que queda para experimentar "ser un hombre o una mujer".... view less
