Georgians have long found in the remote mountainous regions of Georgia, Pshavi and Khevsureti, a fragmentary ethnographic image of a romantic and exotic "once upon a time" version of Georgia. Georgians have been particularly tantalized by images of the strange sexual practices of these mountains (called ts'ats'loba), which represent a kind of paradoxical "sex without sex," a seeming inversion of normative Georgian sexuality, belonging at the same time to the most "Georgian" part of Georgia. Fragmentary images of this "Georgian ancestral sex" circulate in a complex, multigenred interdiscursive space of citationality, becoming, in this recirculation, a haunting absent presence, representations of a sexual alterity shot through with lacunae and absences, which become full of virtual potentiality as these gaps and absences are filled in with one's own imagination and desire. This article ethnographically traces the citational connections between these fragmentary images of sexuality
