This is a lecture about making queer readings of history and how queer narratives can be portrayed at historical larps. We will go through Swedish lgbtq-history from the 17th century and onward, with concrete examples of people who lived outside the norms of their time, concerning sexuality and gender.
Participants will be given tools on how to make their own queer readings of history, and suggestions on how to include queer narratives in larps.
The programme host, Samuel Sjöberg, is an archivist and larper from Sweden, with a bachelor's degree in history.
Content warnings: Mentioning of rape, gruesome methods of execution, heavy homo- and transphobia, mentioning of racism.
