In Plain Sight: New Queer History
\nResearch From Eastern Europe
\n<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

5 November, 6.30 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

What can a century-old yellow press tell us about lesbian lives and deaths in the Habsburg Empire? How does one obtain a WWII diary of a Soviet partisan from a restricted archive? And how can queerness be traced in a socialist celebrity\u2019s memoirs?<\/p>\n

In this talk, Dr. Eszter Timar, Eugenia Seleznova, and Barbara Trojanowska will present and discuss their latest case studies and findings in Central and Eastern European queer history research. The speakers will introduce previously unknown queer stories spanning between Habsburg’ s Galicia, Stalin\u2019s era Soviet Ukraine, and post-WWII Hungary. They will also share their methods and stories of locating and obtaining the sources. The talk will be moderated by Andreas Brunner and aimed for a wider, non-scholarly audience.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Dr. Eszter Timar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University, Vienna. Her research interests include queer theory, history of sexuality, literary theory, deconstruction, performativity, embodiment, and feminist theory. Her current work primarily focuses on deconstruction and Eastern European queer affect.<\/p>\n

Dr. Timar will present the case of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 M\u00e1rkus, a prominent Hungarian actor who gained all-national popularity during the state socialism era. She will discuss M\u00e1rkus\u2019s possible closeted queerness and traces of queer resistance in his interview-based biography as well as some of his later TV performances.<\/p>\n

Eugenia Seleznova
\n<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Eugenia Seleznova is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University, Vienna. She is also active as a writer and editor.<\/p>\n

Eugenia will present her research of a Soviet Ukrainian WWII youth resistance member Aleksandra \u201cShura\u201d Dubrovina who was captured and executed by the Nazis in 1943. While her story was presented as an example of heroism after the war, her \u201cpassionate friendship\u201d with co-resister Maya Peglivanova remained largely omitted or distorted. To reconstruct this case, Eugenia had to gather scattered eyewitnesses\u2019 accounts and semi-obscure literary works until she was able to obtain a copy of Dubrovina\u2019s diary from a restricted archival collection.<\/p>\n

Barbara Trojanowska
\n<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Barbara Trojanowska is a doctoral researcher at the Department of History and a member of the Queer and Feminist Studies working group at European University Institute, Florence.<\/p>\n

Barbara will present her findings from an archival research involving a wide range of Polish-language publications, from daily newspapers to medical and legal periodicals \u2014 a part of her ongoing research of women-loving women\u2019s lives in the late Habsburg Galicia (parts of modern-day Poland and Ukraine) in 1880-1914. Barbara will discuss how women’s same-sex intimacy, emotion, and sexuality were framed in those publications, and how they were reflective of emerging ideas about female same-sex desire before the interwar period.<\/p>\n
