Abstract

The article "Policing Same-Sex Relations in Eighteenth-Century Paris: Archival Voices from 1785" delves into the records of Paris police concerning same-sex activity in 1785. The focus is narrow but deep, presenting 221 police reports on men arrested for same-sex relations, translated and annotated by the editor. The reports shed light on the social dynamics and legal implications of same-sex relations in eighteenth-century Paris, challenging stereotypes and highlighting the complexities of human sexuality during that time.
