In the region of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, LGBT+ individuals face repression by state forces, as well as by non-state actors attempting to reinforce their vision of traditional social values. Understanding this context, Decolonizing Queer Experience moves beyond discourses of oppression and repression to explore the resistance and resilience of LGBT+ communities that are remaking the post-socialist world in ways that refuse domination from their own, local heteronormative expectations as well as those imposed from global LGBT+ movements that also create and suggest limitations on possible LGBT+ futures. These chapters reflect a multiplicity of voices that fall into a broad community of LGBT+ people, suggesting that no single narrative of LGBT+ experience in post-socialism is more representative or informative than another. These chapters are evidence of a globally flexible, infinitely malleable notion of LGBT+ that counters Western hegemony in queer activism and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: Vitaly Chernetsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Of Constatives, Performatives, and Disidentifications: Decolonizing Queer Critique in Post-socialist Times (5606)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTamar Shirinian and Emily Channell-Justice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 1: The Categories Themselves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Body Politics, Trans*Imaginary, and Decoloniality (6859)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTjaša Kancler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Queering Categories: Recognition, Misrecognition, and Identity Politics in Armenia (7753)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTamar Shirinian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Escaping the Dichotomies of ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’: Chronotopes of Queerness in Kyrgyzstan (6815)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSyinat Sultanaieva\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 2: Queer in Public\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: LGBT+ Rights, European Values, and Radical Critique: Leftist Challenges to LGBT+ Mainstreaming in Ukraine (7922)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmily Channell-Justice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Queering the Soviet Pribaltika: Criminal Cases of Consensual Sodomy in Soviet Latvia (1960s-1980s) (7796)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeruza Aripova\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Queer People and the Criminal Justice System in Ukraine: Negotiating Relationships, Historical Trauma and Contemporary Western Discourses (7655)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoman Leksikov\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 3: Decolonizing Queer Performance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Stifled Monstrosities: Gender-Transgressive Motifs in Kazakh Folklore (7553)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZhanar Sekerbayeva\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: “Pugacheva for the People”: Two Portraits of Non-Urban Post-Soviet Queer Performers (7751)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKārlis Vērdiņš and Jānis Ozoliņš\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Religious Experiences in Life Stories of Homosexuals and Bisexuals in Russia (6577)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolina Kislitsyna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Emily Channell-Justice (1820)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042660221271,"sku":"9781793630308","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793630308.jpg?v=1750955057","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/decolonizing-queer-experience-lgbt-narratives-from-eastern-europe-and-eurasia-9781793630308","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
