“…Por otro lado, se ha de subrayar la complejidad del tema cuando en el nazismo se produce una intensa homosociabilidad basada en la camaradería masculina propia del male bonding, y por otra parte «peligrosamente» cerca del homoerotismo. Por otro lado, se han documentado prácticas homosexuales clandestinas en las élites de las SS, que llegaron a preocupar al propio Heinrich Himmler, que dedicó buena parte de sus esfuerzos a pensar si la homosexualidad era curable o era un mal propio de las condiciones de guerra (Giles 2005). Como es sabido, el nazismo persiguió y exterminó específicamente a los individuos de la sociedad civil sospechosos de homosexualidad.…”

A través del estudio de un álbum fotográfico que recoge la vivencia en un albergue del Sindicato Español Universitario en 1941 se aborda la retórica visual de Falange y su construcción de la masculinidad, la capacidad discursiva de la fotografía y sus potencialidades estéticas, la problemá-tica de la memoria en el ámbito de lo público y lo íntimo, y las posibilidades del álbum como documento.Palabras clave: Álbum, Falange Española, Masculinidad, Fotografía, Identidad y Memoria. SUMMARYThrough the study of a photographic album which shows the experience at a summer camp organized by Falange Española's University Union in 1941, we can approach relevant questions concerning this historical period: the Falange's visual rhetoric and its construction of masculinity; photography's discursive capacity and its aesthetic potential; the problematic matter of memory in public and intimate spheres and the album's possibilities as a document.

“…The mainstreaming of Nazism and the bringing into line or ‘Gleichschaltung’ of the diverse right-wing masculinist groups that had provided an umbrella identity for homosexuals in search of a masculine identity models led to the exclusion of homosexuals by the early 1930s. By 1928 the Party had explicitly condemned homosexuality (Giles 2002: 260). After coming to power, the Nazis revised the law pertaining to homosexuality, Paragraph 175, replacing it with the much more punitive Paragraph 175A in 1934 (Spurlin 2009: 9, 31, 123).…”

The perception of the Weimar Republic as the high-point of ‘classical modernity’ in which all areas of society were permeated by a fatal sense of crisis has been revised as an explanatory model in recent historiography. Historians have returned to this period with a new sense of the openness of the crisis environment, particularly in areas of social and cultural history. Male homosexuality emerged as a central theme of Weimar social and cultural crisis as it became possible for homosexual men to imagine an identity and a ‘life’ for the first time. These men began to understand their lives as a continuum in terms of their sexuality and to express their lives in writing. The discourse of masculinist homosexuality, which emerged during the first decades of the 20th century, was used by some homosexuals as a means to self-identification and self-validation in the open environment of post-war early Weimar. However, this speculative framework of masculine comradeship and warrior ethos became less and less tenable as the internal contradictions as well as the socio-political pressures of the Republic increased. The paper explores the internal tensions between homosexuality and masculinist identity in two literary works from the Weimar Republic, Max René Hesse’s Partenau and Thomas Mann’s ‘Mario and the Magician’.

“…Indeed, armed groups of very different ideological persuasions have been reported as using targeted violence against LGBT individuals and communities, ranging from jihadist groups such as the Islamic State (IS) to Maoist groups such as the Shining Path (Myrttinen and Daigle, 2017; Tschantret, 2018). From the British Navy in the 19th century to the Nazi SS, homosexuality has also been considered a capital offence within military ranks (Giles, 2002; Goldstein, 2001).…”

Violence, toleration, or inclusion? Exploring variation in the experiences of LGBT combatants in Colombia

While scholars have started to pay increased attention to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons serving in state security forces, little is known of the experiences of LGBT combatants operating in non-state armed groups in conflict settings. This article explores the experiences of LGBT persons from three different armed groups in Colombia. While LGBT combatants are often in a highly vulnerable position, this article reveals large differences between armed groups, as well as important exceptions within groups that contribute to LGBT combatants' varied experiences. In conclusion, I argue that understanding these variations in LGBT combatants' experiences has important policy and programme implications and provides opportunities for more inclusive peacebuilding processes in Colombia and beyond.
