Relacja z konferencji "Sex and Sexuality in East-Central Europe, Past and Present"
Na stronie "Notches" ukazała się relacja z konferencji współorganizowanej w październiku w Budapeszcie przez Agnieszkę Kościańską.
Historical studies of sexualities in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) remain scarce. Researchers from the region, as well as other parts of the world, however, are increasingly uncovering both the regional commonalities and local specificities of how diverse sexualities were lived, policed and represented in CEE, the area stretching from Austria and Germany in the west to regions of Russia in the east, and from the Baltic in the north to the Balkans in the south. Recently, some of the most exciting work on the subject was presented at an interdisciplinary conference, ‘Sex and Sexuality in East-Central Europe, Past and Present’, organized by Agnieszka Kościańska, Anita Kurimay, Kateřina Lišková, Hadley Z. Renkin and Eszter Timár at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University in Budapest in October 2015. While many papers discussed CEE sexualities in a contemporary context, I will only report on those that were historical in nature.
