This book uncovers some of the major moments in the fragile and
still poorly known herstory of feminist lesbian engagement in
Serbia and Croatia. By treating the trauma of war, homophobia, and
neoliberal capitalism as a verbally impenetrable experience that
longs to be narrated, this monograph explores the ways in which
feminist lesbian language has repeatedly emerged in the context of
strong patriarchal silencing that has surrounded the armed
conflicts of the Yugoslav succession. With an abundance of
empirical material, Bilic illuminates a range of courageous but
sometimes contested and controversial activist responses to the
challenges posed by the violent intersection of misogyny,
lesbophobia, poverty, and nationalism. The book renders visible a
surprising diversity of activist initiatives and the resilience of
transnational affective ties, which testify to the creativity of
lesbian activist mobilisations in the ambivalent semi-peripheral
space that used to be Yugoslavia. Trauma, Violence, and Lesbian
Agency in Croatia and Serbia will be of interest to scholars and
students researching the history and politics of Eastern Europe, as
well as to those working in the fields of political sociology,
lesbian and gay studies, gender studies, and queer theory and
activism.
