I used a queer feminist discourse analysis method to examine how LGBT+ communities seek to position themselves in relation to hegemonic discourses of state and nationhood. Collecting data from focus group discussions and online forums, I identified the Euromaidan (2013-2014) as a pivotal moment wherein sexual citizenship was intensified as a dynamic process of claims-making and negotiation between LGBT+ communities and the state. Analysing how LGBT+ communities imagine and make sense of sexual citizenship, I demonstrated how the dominant discourse of sexual citizenship – homopatriotism, as I call it – emerged as a specific form of homonormativity at the complex intersection of the post-Maidan nationalist mobilisation, war in the eastern part of Ukraine, global human rights discourse, post- socialism, neoliberalism and axes of colonial power. Through homopatriotism, the universal discourse of (neoliberal) human rights and the particular discourse of Ukrainian ‘civic nationalism’ have become intertwined. This enmeshment, I argue, positioned LGBT+ communities as patriots and ‘good citizens’ and enabled instrumentalisation of the LGBT+ claims for sexual citizenship by the state. Being oriented towards Western models of ‘LGBT+ progress’ and away from ‘Russian’ and ‘Soviet’ regimes of sexuality, homopatriotism in Ukraine reinvigorated the geotemporal position of Eastern Europe as undeveloped and, therefore, ‘catching up’. Following the methodological and ethical bases of queer feminist studies, I looked closely at the counter-discourses that are scattered across the communities, with particular emphasis on grassroots ‘queer activism’. Opposing both heteronormativity and homonormativity, critiquing capitalist/neoliberal, militarist, racist, ableist, misogynist and Western-centred tendencies within mainstream LGBT+ politics, the counter-discourses point to the analytic limits of the concept of sexual citizenship and enable alternative imaginaries of belonging, subjectivities and solidarities to emerge beyond the framework of sexual citizenship. 3 4 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I owe my gratitude to Professor Jacqui Gabb and Professor Darren Langdridge, my supervisors at the Open University.

I am deeply grateful to you, all my study participants from the Queer Homes community centres in Ukraine for sharing your thoughts, experiences and feelings with me openly and bravely.

    pejzaże kultury Urszula Chowaniec Feminism Today, or Re-visiting Polish Feminist Literary Scholarship Since 1990s Almost every time the gendered perspective on a particular issue (so often called oblique- ly the woman’s voice) appears in the media, it is immediately confronted by the almost for- mulaic expression “feminism today,” which suggests instantaneously that feminism is, in fact, a matter of the past, and that if one needs to return to this phenomenon, then it requires some explanation. Such interconnections between gender, women and feminism are a con- stant simplifi cation. The article seeks to elaborate this problem of generalization expressed by such formulas as “feminism today.”1 “Feminism today” is a particular notion, which indeed refers to the long political, social, economic and cultural struggles and transformations for equality between the sexes, but also implies the need for its up-dating. Feminism seems to be constantly asked to supply footnotes as to why the contemporary world might still need it, as though equality had been undeniably achieved. This is the common experience of all researchers and activists who deal with the ques- tioning of the traditional order. Even though the order examined by feminism for over 200 years has been changed almost all over the world to various extents, the level of equal- ity achieved is debatable and may still be improved in all countries. Nevertheless, the word feminism has become an uncomfortable word; hence its usage always requires some justi- fi cation. During the past few years in Britain, attempts to re-defi ne feminism may be noted in various media.

Yet such theories fail to explain the nature of and the reasons for this continuity in terms of gender relations in the public sphere.

  • Framing Solidarity. Feminist Patriots Opposing the Far Right in Contemporary Poland
    Open Cultural Studies 2019; 3: 469-484 Research Article Jennifer Ramme* Framing Solidarity. Feminist Patriots Opposing the Far Right in Contemporary Poland https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2019-0040 Received October 30, 2018; accepted May 30, 2019 Abstract: Due to the attempts to restrict the abortion law in Poland in 2016, we could observe a new broad- based feminist movement emerge. This successful movement became known worldwide through the Black Protests and the massive Polish Women’s Strike that took place in October 2016. While this new movement is impressive in its scope and can be described as one of the most successful opposition movements to the ethno-nationalist right wing and fundamentalist Catholicism, it also deploys a patriotic rhetoric and makes use of national symbols and categories of belonging. Feminism and nationalism in Poland are usually described as in opposition, although that relationship is much more complex and changing. Over decades, a general shift towards right-wing nationalism in Poland has occurred, which, in various ways, has also affected feminist actors and (counter)discourses. It seems that patriotism is used to combat nationalism, which has proved to be a successful strategy. Taking the example of feminist mobilizations and movements in Poland, this paper discusses the (im)possible link between patriotism, nationalism and feminism in order to ask what it means for feminist politics and female solidarity when belonging is framed in different ways. Keywords: framing belonging; social movements; ethno-nationalism; embodied nationalism; public discourse A surprising response to extreme nationalism and religious fundamentalism in Poland appeared in the mass mobilization against a legislative initiative introducing a total ban on abortion in 2016, which culminated in a massive Women’s Strike in October the same year.

  • Gender, Nation, and Sex Education in Contemporary Poland THESIS
    Let’s Talk about Sex: Gender, Nation, and Sex Education in Contemporary Poland THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lauren Rose Post Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Studies The Ohio State University 2015 Choose an item. Thesis Committee: Dr. Jennifer Suchland, Advisor Dr. Jill Bystydzienski Copyright by Lauren Rose Post 2015 Abstract In this thesis, I argue in Poland, the confluence of the Roman Catholic Church, historically entrenched ideas about gender and gender roles, and feminist’s inability to successfully challenge these norms converge in sex education policy. I trace the development of sex education through the pre- World War II era to contemporary policies, and consider current legal and cultural issues preventing the implementation of comprehensive sex education. I analyze secondary sources and when available, primary sources. Sex education policy is contentious, especially in recent years with fears of gender ideology and pedophilia being introduced in classrooms through sex education. NGO’s do exist to advocate for comprehensive sex education policy, but face obstacles through the government, conservative social norms, and the Catholic Church. The Church capitalizes on its social currency earned in the Communist period and conservative mores about sex to implement its preferred policies. Sex education policy is unlikely to change if these mores continue to persist, even as the Polish public becomes more frustrated with Church policy and influence. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to my family. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr.

GROSSMAN My study of Polish theatre practices developed in the immediate aftermath of the 1989 events which confirmed that ostensibly gender-neutral rules are arranged, in fact, in a male idiom and are far from supporting women’s needs. I reported many examples of “gender blindness” including (1) Elżbieta Baniewicz’s critical writing on theatre (in which not a single female director was mentioned), (2) various discussions published in the monthly Dialog that focused exclusively on male protagonists created by male playwrights and (3) the premier of Krystyna Kofta’s feminist play Professor Mephisto’s Salon (Salon Profesora Mefisto, published 1993, performed 2003) in which the crucial feminist message was reversed by changing the female protagonist Fausta back to a male Faust (Grossman 2005). Since I completed my first overview of new Polish plays in 2003 (publ. 2005), many positive developments have taken place and the situation has improved slightly.
