In this book, Edenborg studies contemporary conflicts of community
as enacted in Russian media, from the 'homosexual propaganda' laws
to the Sochi Olympics and the Ukraine war, and explores the role of
visibility in the production and contestation of belonging to a
political community. The book examines what it is that determines
which subjects and narratives become visible and which are occluded
in public spheres; how they are seen and made intelligible; and how
those processes are involved in the imagination of communities.
Investigating the differentiated consequences of visibility,
Edenborg discusses what forms of visibility make belonging possible
and what forms of visibility may be related to exclusion or
violence. The book maps and analyses the practices and mechanisms
whereby a state seeks to produce and shape belonging through
controlling what becomes visible in public, and how that which
becomes visible is seen and understood. In addition, it examines
what forms contestation can take and what its effects may be.
Advancing theoretical understanding and offering a useful way to
analytically conceptualize the role of visibility in the production
and contestation of political communities, this work will be of
interest to students and scholars of gender and sexuality politics,
borders, citizenship, nationalism, migration and ethnic relations.
