Discover Vienna’s history as a queer city<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

We celebrate Pride every year because we remember a historical event \u2013 the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York, which became a crystallization point for the queer movement. Researching our history is therefore an important contribution to the self-understanding of often very different queer communities. The three-volume Handbuch Queere Zeitgeschichten<\/em>, presented at QWien this Pride season, makes a significant contribution to that work.<\/p>\n

Spanning the period from 1945 to the recent present, the editors present queer history from a range of perspectives. The first volume focuses on the history of queer “spaces” and different spatial practices. The volume on “Differences” examines exclusions and conflicts in queer contemporary history, while the final volume, “Movements,” traces the diversity of our communities across the entire German-speaking world.<\/p>\n

This editorial achievement \u2013 to which more than fifty authors have contributed \u2013 will be presented by editors Benno Gammerl, Martin L\u00fccke, and Andrea Rottmann.<\/p>\n
