Khaled El-Rouayheb argues that this apparent paradox is based on the anachronistic assumption that homosexuality is a timeless, self-evident fact to which a particular culture reacts with some degree of tolerance or intolerance. Drawing on poetry, biographical literature, medicine, dream interpretation, and Islamic texts, he shows that the culture of the period lacked the concept of homosexuality. </HomosexualityArab countriesHistorySodomyArab countriesHistoryHomosexuality in literaturehomosexuality, sexuality, islam, arab, middle east, identity, poetry, literature, biography, medicine, dream interpretation, sodomy, history, sodomites, aesthetes, pathics, pederasts, male eroticism, koran, erotics, masculinity, men, gender, queer, lgbt, lgbtq, lgbtqia, same sex, love, attraction, ottoman, sociology, anthropology, homoeroticism, gay, intercourse, penetration, lust, infatuation, passion, nonfiction.HomosexualityHistory.SodomyHistory.Homosexuality in literature.306.76/6/09174927El-Rouayheb Khaled1480315MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778528603321Before homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic world, 1500-18003696895UNINA
