This is done by analysing the autobiographies of two gender nonconforming people, Therese Andreas Bruce and Lars “Lasse-Maja'' Molin. The books are considered unique since it is “first hand” material, written by the subjects themselves rather than being described by others in criminal or medical records, which is where the majority of these individuals made an appearance during this time period. By examining the autobiographies, it is possible to conclude how the individuals saw themselves and experienced their gender identity. The theoretical perspective of the thesis is provided by Arnold I. Davidson, Jens Rydström, Sam Holmqvist and Dror Wahrman to cover both a LGBTQ+ historical perspective as well as literature on identity formation from a wider perspective. Through this inquiry it can be concluded that the experiences of gender nonconforming individuals were unique and dependent on the individual's personality rather than just their gender identity. While Bruce was deeply dependent on his surroundings and other people to confirm his male identity, Lasse-Maja valued objects such as clothes, jewellery and other symbols to establish their gender identity. Further, the conclusion could also be drawn that these individuals were perceived differently by their surroundings and that they also handled the response in different ways. Lasse-Maja did not seem to care about the negative responses and reactions while Bruce was deeply wounded by similar behaviours. Gender identity, both then and now, appears as individually experienced and in constant fluctuation. Gender identity gender nonconforming Therese Andreas Bruce Lars “Lasse-Maja” Molin 19th century.

3	Transformationer : 1800-talets svenska translitteratur genom Lasse-Maja, C.J.L. Almqvist och Aurora Ljungstedt Holmqvist, Sam January 2017 (has links) Literary descriptions of shifting from and transgressing assigned sex were common in 19th Century Sweden. This thesis forms a contribution to the larger project of writing a history of Swedish trans literature, and develops new interpretations of certain works of fiction by applying a transgender studies perspective. Through trans readings the thesis also examines what potential and possible implications literature might have for trans people beyond the literary realm. Trans readings are able to supplement earlier research by providing a nuanced understanding of the production of trans- and cisgenders. The theoretical perspectives used in the thesis are drawn for the most part from queer and transgender studies. The thesis adopts a conceptual understanding of trans as a movement, and aims to widen the scope of what may be considered relevant to a history of trans literature. The primary objects of analysis are the 1833 autobiography of widely known thief and cross-dresser Lasse-Maja (Lars Molin), C.J.L. Almqvist’s Drottningens juvelsmycke (1834), and Aurora Ljungstedt’s Moderna typer (1874). In closing, two texts from the fin-de-siècle are also closely read; Amanda Kerfstedt’s Reflexer (1901) and Frida Stéenhoff’s “Ett sällsamt öde” (1911). A wide range of other fiction is additionally studied in order to establish a contextual pattern of trans literary traditions. The thesis demonstrates that trans permeates all kinds of fiction, and that the characters analysed construct both trans and cis gender categories. It concludes that trans is done in a variety of ways, and with a variety of meanings in 19th and early 20th century literature. Trans is often depicted as a positive, fruitful and desirable act, through trans characters who are both themselves subjects of erotic desire and who become symbols of liberty and emancipation. Other trans figures however are often counter images of what are considered to be correct sexes, and are depicted as threatening and/or ridiculous. Both these negative and positive representations of trans affirm the gender binary. At the same time, they also break and destabilize that same binary, and the trans characters in the study both can and cannot be interpreted as transgressing cis- and heteronormativity respectively. trans literature trans readings trans characters cross dressing literature and history 19th Century 1900–1920 transgender transgender people in literature C.J.L.
