Abstract

In 1963, Christer Strömholm photographed the cross-dressing men Zizou and Carla on successive days in a Paris bar. The images are unique in Strömholm’s Place Blanche archive in that in one photograph Zizou is the “man” and Carla the “woman,” and in the other they switch. Who were Zizou and Carla? Strömholm’s captions for the images do not say. But two years after he photographed them the men were interviewed by a medical school Ph.D. student for a thesis on trans and gender non-conforming prostitutes in Paris. Denise Fidanza’s completed thesis contains detailed summaries of the men’s elicited self-stories. What can be learned about Zizou and Carla by comparing the photographic and verbal evidence? To what extent do the sources align? My analysis reveals that the information conveyed by Strömholm’s photographs and Fidanza’s interviews exists on largely parallel tracks. Indeed, given that the men are identified only by aliases, without the corroborating visual evidence of a distinctive tattoo on Carla’s left arm and a small photograph of Zizou in Fidanza’s thesis, a conclusive match would be impossible. Considered together, Strömholm’s photographs and Fidanza’s interviews provide rich insights into the lives of two marginalized queer men in 1960s Paris.

摄影的目光与医疗的目光相遇:克里斯托·斯特罗姆霍姆(ChristerStrömholm)的布兰奇(Place Blanche)广场上的两名穿着交叉服装的人

摘要

1963年,克里斯特·斯特罗姆霍姆(ChristerStrömholm)在巴黎的酒吧连续几天拍摄了扮装者Zizou和Carla。这些图片在Strömholm的Place Blanche档案馆中是独一无二的,其中一张照片中Zizou是“男人”,而Carla是“女人”,而在另一张照片中,它们是切换的。子邹和卡拉是谁?Strömholm的图片标题未讲。但是在他给他们照相后的两年,这些人接受了医学院的博士学位采访。巴黎的跨性别和性别不符合妓女论文的学生。丹妮丝·费丹扎(Denise Fidanza)的完整论文包含有关这些男性引发的自我故事的详细摘要。通过比较摄影证据和口头证据,可以从中了解到有关Zizou和Carla的信息?来源在多大程度上保持一致?我的分析表明,Strömholm的照片和Fidanza的访谈所传达的信息在很大程度上是平行的。的确,考虑到这些男人只能通过别名来识别,而没有在卡拉的左臂上有明显纹身的确凿视觉证据以及在Fidanza论文中的Zizou的小照片,那么最终的比赛将是不可能的。综合考虑,斯特罗姆霍尔姆(Strömholm)的照片和菲丹扎(Fidanza)的访谈为1960年代巴黎两个边缘化的酷儿男人的生活提供了丰富的见解。如果没有确凿的视觉证据证明卡拉的左臂上有明显的纹身,以及Fidanza论文中的Zizou的小照片,就不可能进行最终的比赛。综合考虑,斯特罗姆霍尔姆(Strömholm)的照片和菲丹扎(Fidanza)的访谈为1960年代巴黎两个边缘化的酷儿男人的生活提供了丰富的见解。如果没有确凿的视觉证据证明卡拉的左臂上有明显的纹身,以及Fidanza论文中的Zizou的小照片,就不可能进行最终的比赛。综合考虑,斯特罗姆霍尔姆(Strömholm)的照片和菲丹扎(Fidanza)的访谈为1960年代巴黎两个边缘化的酷儿男人的生活提供了丰富的见解。
