  • Queer As Alla: Subversion And/Or Re-Affirmation of the Homophobic Nationalist Discourse of Normality in Post-Soviet Vilnius
    RASA NAVICKAITE Queer as Alla: Subversion and/or re-affirmation of the homophobic nationalist discourse of normality in post-Soviet Vilnius IF YOU ARE non-heterosexual and you live in Vilnius, then gay- friendly options for going out are pretty limited for you. You would probably end up in the same place each weekend – a little under- ground gay club, called Soho. While for the gay community it is a well-known place to have drinks, to dance and to flirt, those who do not clearly identify as lesbian, gay, bi or trans usually have never even heard about this place. And those who do hear about it tend to imagine it as a place ”outside” the boundaries of normality and mo- rality, a place for those who live on the margins of society, delimited according to the axis of sexuality, or, to put it in a coarse language – a ”nest of whores” (Tereškinas 2004, 32). Although the times of the totalitarian Communist regime are gone since more than twenty years, the strict boundaries between what is normal and what is not, persist and in some cases have be- come even more rigid (Stukuls 1999, 537). The high level of soci- etal homophobia,1 encouraged by nationalist discourse is a perfect example of this boundary control. Although LGBT organisations present visibility and openness of non-heteronormative sexualities lambda nordica 4/2012 127 © Föreningen Lambda Nordica 2012 Queer as Alla as their main goal, it does not change the situation, where the ma- jority of gays are ”in the closet” (Atviri.lt 2012a).

  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

  • Lesbian Camp 02/07
    SQS Bespectacular and over the top. On the genealogy of lesbian camp 02/07 Annamari Vänskä 66 In May 2007, the foundations of the queer Eurovision world seemed to shake once again as Serbia’s representative, Queer Mirror: Perspectives Marija Šerifović inspired people all over Europe vote for her and her song “Molitva”, “Prayer”. The song was praised, the singer, daughter of a famous Serbian singer, was hailed, and the whole song contest was by many seen in a new light: removed from its flamboyantly campy gay aesthetics which seems to have become one of the main signifiers of the whole contest in recent decades. As the contest had al- ready lost the Danish drag performer DQ in the semi finals, the victory of Serbia’s subtle hymn-like invocation placed the whole contest in a much more serious ballpark. With “Molitva” the contest seemed to shrug off its prominent gay appeal restoring the contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song, where the aim has been Marija Šerifović’s performance was said to lack camp and restore the to find the best European pop song in a contest between contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song. different European nations. The serious singer posed in masculine attire: tuxedo, white riosity was appeased: not only was Šerifović identified as shirt, loosely hanging bow tie and white sneakers, and was a lesbian but also as a Romany person.1 Šerifović seemed surrounded by a chorus of five femininely coded women.

  • Russian Content Revolution Set to Shake up Mipcom 2017
    16-19 October 2017, Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France Press Release RUSSIAN CONTENT REVOLUTION SET TO SHAKE UP MIPCOM 2017 PREMIERE DRAMA AND ANIMATION SCREENINGS TO REVEAL NEW VITALITY FROM RUSSIA Paris, 4 October 2017 – A century after the October Revolution in Russia, the Russian Content Revolution is taking place and will be in the spotlight at MIPCOM 2017. World Premiere Screenings, a series of International Screenings, conferences and networking opportunities will bring fresh high-end content from Russia to the attention of global TV industry. “This autumn marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Two of its protagonists were Lenin and Trotsky. Channel One will showcase on this occasion the docu-drama about Lenin based on previously-unseen archives, while Trotsky will be presented to audiences as the hero of a drama series,” said Konstantin Ernst, CEO of Channel One Russia, producer of the series “Trotsky”. The World Premiere Screening of “Trotsky”, presented by Channel One and Sreda Production, will be the flagship event of the Russian Content Revolution showcase. Its creators hope the series will be an international hit due to its high production values, compelling script, and its complex lead character. “Leon Trotsky was the real mastermind and executive of the October upheaval, virtually its producer. He is an international star of the last 100 years, a real pop-icon, a man of great achievements, who met a tragic fate. Our series is the first drama dedicated to Trotsky in the history of Russia, so we hope to rouse both Russian and international audiences’ interest in this project,” added Ernst.
