National menace: Mediating homo/sexuality and sovereignty in the Polish national/ist discourses
The bio-political discourses of nationhood and homo/sexuality burgeon geo-culturally and historically, and this article presents a case-study of Poland post-2004 EU enlargement. Focused on the (televised) presidential media orchestrations of the ‘EU and homosexual menace’ and parliamentary resolutions, the tensions between nationhood and sexuality are analysed through the prisms of dislocation, surplus, rhetoric of fear and antagonism. The presen…
De-Centring Western Sexualities: Central and Eastern European Perspectives
De-Centring Western Sexualities critically assesses the current state of knowledge about sexualities outside the framings of 'The West', by focusing on gender and sexuality within the context of Central and Eastern Europe. Providing rich case studies drawn from a range of "post-communist" countries, this interdisciplinary volume brings together the latest research on the formation of sexualities in Central and Eastern Europe, alongside analyses o…
Nations and Sexualities – ‘West’ and ‘East’
This chapter looks at the mutual dependencies between nations, nationalisms and sexualities. It explores a brief discussion of three seminal texts; George Mosse's Nationalism and Sexuality, Andrew Parker et al. Nationalisms and Sexualities and Sam Pryke's 'Nationalism and Sexuality: What Are the Issues', which directly address and theorise the issues of nationalism and sexuality together. Mosse focuses on the eighteenth and the nineteenth-century…
De-Centring Western Sexualities
On attachment and be longing: Or why queers mourn homophobic president
In this article I ask why gay and lesbian people in Poland mourned their infamously homophobic president Lech Kaczynski, and, in turn, what it means to mourn one's own enemy. In examining this extraordinary case of national bereavement and the collective performance of grief, I point to complex models of attachment that position Polish homosexual subjects in a locus where they are able to enter the national discourse as subjects, and not only as …
Western leveraged pedagogy of Central and Eastern Europe: Discourses of homophobia, tolerance, and nationhood
This article focuses on the relations between the two geo-temporal categories - Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and West/Europe - in discussions about sexual politics, homophobia, tolerance, and nationhood. It contributes to the existing literature about homonationalism and sexual nationalisms by introducing CEE to the debate's geographical loci, so far mostly invested in West/Europe and its relations to Islam. It argues that it is important to …
