DESCRIPTION:This conference will consider both the fin-de-siècle contexts a
	nd the worldwide consequences of the three trials involving Oscar Wilde th
	at took place at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) from 3 April 1895
	 to 25 May 1895. These trials\, which arguably constitute the most famous 
	criminal proceedings relating to the state prohibition of male homosexuali
	ty\, resulted in a brutal two-year sentence for committing acts of gross i
	ndecency with other males\, for which Wilde suffered solitary confinement 
	with hard labor. \n\n"Oscar Wilde\, Sexuality\, and the State\," organized
	 by Professor Joseph Bristow (UCLA English)\, takes the occasion of Wilde’
	s courtroom ordeal as a starting-point for understanding not only the grow
	ing awareness of queer subcultures during the 1880s and 1890s but also the
	 long shadow that Wilde’s trials cast upon the proscription of same-sex in
	timacy in many different parts of the world.\n\nSource: https://community.
