Queer Repetitions? LGBTIQ+ Communities and (Post-)Yugoslav History
Abstract
The histories of LGBTIQ+ communities often heavily rely on historiographies of democratization and teleologies of progress. As a result, LGBTIQ+ communities seem to have become agents solely in the light of regime change while their socialist pasts have been more difficult to access. Instead of searching for a starting point of LGBTIQ+ activism in (Post-)Yugoslavia, this essay tries to reconnect multiple points in time where LGBTIQ+ actors staged protest and sought for liberation. Through the lens of repetition, I want to revisit the discourses and trajectories of LGBTIQ+ activism in Yugoslavia and the post-Yugoslav space. By looking into various configurations of queer activism – from “homosexual socialization” in socialism to EuroPride in 2022 – I want to provide an analytical framework within which the radical potential of queerness can be uncovered beyond ready-made categories of transitional democracies or minority protection rights.
