| Sumario: | The growing visibility of lesbian and gay people in the countries of Europe formerly known as the Eastern Bloc over the past two decades has opened up a new, controversial field for academic exploration and debate. This groundbreaking collection offers an original analysis of the notions and politics of queer visibility across a wide range of post-socialist cultures. Through case studies, the contributors set up an enquiry into the ways of understanding queer visibility specific to the discourses of post-socialist cultures. From the queer negotiations of nation and ethnicity as identity categories, through the concept of visibility in lesbian, gay and queer activist struggles, to the configurations of non-normative sexualities in the media and in films, Queer Visibility in Post-socialist Cultures addresses many intriguing questions from an interdisciplinary perspective. The employed approaches encompass gender and sexuality studies, media and film studies, sociology, and cultural anthropology in the context of East European studies. |
