De-Centring Western Sexualities
De-Centring Western Sexualities critically assesses the current state of knowledge about sexualities outside the framings of 'The West', by focusing on gender and sexuality within the context of Central and Eastern Europe. Providing rich case studies drawn from a range of "post-communist" countries, this interdisciplinary volume brings together the latest research on the formation of sexualities in Central and Eastern Europe, alongside analyses of the sexual and national identity politics of the region. Engaged with current debates within queer studies surrounding temporality and knowledge production, and inspired by post-colonial critique, the book problematises the Western hegemony that often characterises sexuality studies, and presents local theoretical insights better attuned to their geo-temporal realities. As such, it offers a cultural and social re-evaluation of everyday life experiences, and will be of interest to sociologists, queer studies scholars, geographers and anthropologists.
Historical Dictionary of the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Movements
Not so long ago hardly anything was said of the Lesbian Liberation Movement and the Gay Liberation Movement, indeed, the terms gay and lesbian were not even used if some other expression could be found. Today, by contrast, hardly a day passes when something important does not occur, and is carried by the major media and disseminated on more personal levels through blogs and the social media. If anything, there is perhaps too much “news” and not enough “information.” Obviously, a book like this cannot keep up with the news, but it can do something equally important when it comes to information, by reminding us of the past and what has been going and just how fast events are moving.

Nienormatywne historie Polski
Teksty zawarte w tym e-booku ukazywały się na łamach „Dwutygodnika” w latach 2021-2022 w ramach projekt „Hom-e. Nienormatywne historie Polski”, realizowanego przy wsparciu Ambasady USA w Polsce. Wyruszyliśmy na poszukiwanie naszych queerowych korzeni. Spróbowaliśmy opisać homo-, trans- i bidziedzictwo, zdając sobie sprawę, że queer jest też specyficznie polski. Przybliżaliśmy kulturę polską od strony tęczy. Autorki i autorów zachęcaliśmy do pogłębionych kwerend w archiwach, badaczy kultury i krytyczki do odważnych reinterpretacji. Osoby LGBTQIA+ walczyły na frontach wojen, współtworzyły ruch Solidarności, stały w kolejkach po pralki, szukały szczęścia. ...

Texts and Contexts from the History of Feminism and Women’s Rights
A compendium of one hundred sources, preceded by a short author’s bio and an introduction, this volume offers an English language selection of the most representative texts on feminism and women’s rights from East Central Europe between the end of the Second World War and the early 1990s. While communist era is the primary focus, the interwar years and the post-1989 transition period also receive attention. All texts are new translations from the original. The book is organised around themes instead of countries; the similarities and differences between nations are nevertheless pointed out. The editors consider women not only in their local context, but also in conjunction with other sys...
