Abstract:
The chapter surveys the emergence of homosexual subjectivity and cultural consciousness during the first two decades of the 20th century, and investigates the place of Jews and Jewishness within this emerging discourse. In the first part of the text, I will focus on Benedict Friedländer - one of the most militant and controversial activists of the homosexual movement during the late Austrian Kaiserreich. In the second part, I will survey the legacy of Friedländer, especially his impact on Jewish authors who tried to formulate their own version of Jewish or “Semitic homosexuality". Friedlaender was of Jewish descent, but had no religious affiliation at the time of his suicide.
