著者について

Richard Cleminson is recognized for his significant contributions to the understanding of sexual identity and hermaphroditism in the Iberian context from the 1500s to the 1960s. His works explore the historical narratives surrounding homosexuality and sexual identity, particularly in Spain, offering insights into the socio-cultural dynamics of these themes across centuries. His research sheds light on the often overlooked aspects of sexual diversity and the complexities of identity in historical frameworks.

Through books such as "Sexo, identidad y hermafroditas en el mundo ibérico, 1500-1800" and "Los Invisibles. Una historia de la homosexualidad masculina en España, 1850-1939," Cleminson delves into the intersections of medical science and societal perceptions of sexuality. His scholarship not only highlights the historical treatment of hermaphroditism but also how these identities were understood and represented in medical discourse and popular culture. Overall, Cleminson's work contributes to a richer understanding of sexual identity and its evolution in Spanish history.
