“…It was translated into a number of other languages, with the Spanish version appearing in 1938, and the Italian version going through two editions (1939, 1940) within a couple of years. The book's influence in and beyond Brazil has resulted in extensive analysis (Green, 1999; Gutman, 2010; de Oliveira Júnior, 2012: 265–83), although the content dealing with sexual development has perhaps been less thoroughly studied. The book focuses on the 195 ‘passive pederasts’ imprisoned by the Polícia Civil Carioca, led by Dulcídio Gonçalves, who was known for his persecution of homosexuals, samba, and people of African origin.…”

Displacing the physiological model that had held sway in 19th-century medical thinking, early 20th-century medical scientists working on hormones promoted a new understanding of the body, psychological reactions, and the sexual instinct, arguing that each were fundamentally malleable. Hormones came to be understood as the chemical messengers that regulated an individual's growth and sexual development, and sexologists interested in this area focused primarily on children and adolescents. Hormone research also promoted a view of the body in which ‘hermaphroditism’, homosexuality, and ‘sexual perversions’ such as masochism and sadism were attributed to anomalies in the internal secretions produced by the testes or the ovaries. This article focuses on Spanish, Italian, Argentinian, and Brazilian sexology shaped by endocrinological research in the interwar period. First, it shows the key role hormone treatments played in the historical development of sexology in Southern Europe and Latin America. Second, it looks at how sexologists employed hormone research to study human sexual development in the early stages of life, and how they set about ‘correcting’ what they viewed as ‘sexual anomalies’.

La argumentación de este artículo se estructura en la siguiente forma: el reconocimiento de algunos artistas percibidos como afeminados y de otros como homosexuales coexistió con la reproducción de prejuicios en el discurso médico y literario. Y las mujeres son mayoría numérica en instituciones de enseñanza musical, y en paralelo, el discurso médico y literario reproduce la creencia en la inferioridad femenina. A partir del texto de una conferencia sobre Chopin, analizo tres temas del médico y escritor Aloysio de Castro mediante su contraste con las ideas de cuatro especialistas en homosexualidad y algunas ideas del musicólogo Mário de Andrade. Las fuentes primarias son de la primera mitad del siglo veinte, y mis apreciaciones tienen referencias en mi revisión de la literatura sobre racismo, género y música.
