Abstract
Perhaps some of the most interesting recent developments in queer studies are those books criticizing the US American bias within the discipline (e.g., Hemmings 2007; Mizielinska 2010; Downing and Gillett 2011), and a move towards embracing “non-Western” geographical others (e.g., Patton and Sánchez-Eppler 2000; Altman 2001; Cruz-Malavé and Manalansan 2002; Binnie 2004). But as much as these steps are welcomed, we should also notice the limitations of these advances, specifically the predominant focus on “post-colonial” cultures. Working with/ in the geotemporal paradigm of “Central and Eastern Europe” (CEE), we feel that there is more to the “non-West” than just “postcolonial” cultures. Consequently, we want to focus this chapter on the exploration of sexual politics in CEE and ponder the
queer possibilities of “queer” outside Western/American/Englishs peaking contexts. As such, this article remains in a dialogue, as much as it is a continuation of the volume De-Centring Western Sexualities, edited by Kulpa and Mizielinska (2011).
