摘要

萨姆纳·威尔斯在美国历史上占有奇怪的地位。尽管他声名显赫,但他在外交历史学家中的声誉却因导致他死亡的性丑闻而蒙上了阴影。相反,他引起了性学史学者的粗略关注。本文考察了这种史学辩证法。本文通过分析有关威尔斯的文献,仔细阅读有关威尔斯性取向的资料,并运用交叉视角来审视终结他职业生涯的丑闻,试图纠正对威尔斯的历史误解和遗漏。此外,本文还探讨了历史学家在分析历史上的酷儿人物时必须面对的伦理问题。

The Trouble with Sumner Welles: Sexuality, Race, and the Limits of Mythmaking in Queer History
Sumner Welles occupies a queer place in American history. Despite his prominence, his reputation among diplomatic historians has been overshadowed by the sex scandal that occasioned his demise. Conversely, he has attracted cursory attention from scholars of the history of sexuality. This article examines that historiographic dialectic. By analyzing literature about Welles, conducting a close reading of sources that catalogued Welles's sexuality, and applying an intersectional lens to the scandal that ended his career, this article seeks to redress historiographic misunderstandings and omissions about Welles. Additionally, this article explores ethical questions historians must contend with when analyzing historical queer figures.
