Lesbian bones by Aleksandra Gajowy
Is there a Polish lesbian and who is she? Engaging with this central question, this volume examines contemporary Polish lesbian artistic practices and reaches out across history and archives to establish possibility of mutual intelligibility for Polish lesbians. Through the lens of contemporary art, it weaves an intricate story of the search for a Polish lesbian through narratives of Polish national identity, folklore, archives, literature, spirituality, sex and sexology, and transgressive domesticities in post-Soviet space. In the virtual absence of materials, documents, and shared history of Polish lesbianism, this volume develops desiring methodologies, transhistorical narratives, and intergenerational conversations, to ask who a Polish lesbian might be and where to find her. Ambitious in scope and breadth of material, it engages closely with the US lesbian studies as well as decolonial and sexuality studies from Central and Eastern Europe, challenging the centre/periphery model for reading sexuality and lesbian theories.-
