Queer Visibility in Post-socialist Cultures explores the public constructions of gay, lesbian and queer identities, as well as ways of thinking about sexuality and gender, in post-socialist cultures across the European region formerly known as the Eastern bloc. Featuring eleven essays by scholars and activist researchers focusing on Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Belarus and Russia, the collection encompasses a wide range of fields, including gender and sexuality studies, Eastern European studies, media and film studies, sociology and cultural anthropology. Together, the essays reveal a paradigm of visibility politics centred on the vexed interaction between the post-socialist notions of queerness in activist strategies and the nationalist, mainstream representations of non-normative sexualities.
Nárcisz Fejes is a postdoctoral fellow and research associate at Case Western Reserve University.
Andrea P. Balogh is a PhD Candidate at the University of Leuven, Belgium.
