The workshop “Queerying Polska – Interventions in humanities, activism
and art since 1980” is on the 26th and 27th of October, which is
organised by the chairs of Media History/Visual Culture and Contemporary
European History since 1945, at the University of Siegen.

Our main goal is to create a network for academic exchange and to get an
overview of the current field of research. Research projects of all kind
of disciplines concerning the history of gender and sexuality in Poland
as well as queer interventions shall be presented and discussed.

Topic of the workshop is the history of gender and sexuality in Poland
since 1970: Which roll played gay and lesbian activism in Poland during
real socialism? Where are connections to the women’s movement? Which
influence had the transformation and the access to the EU concerning the
LGBT*-community in Poland? Alongside this we would like to discuss the
role of pictures in the discourse about homosexuality in Poland. What
meaning have and had pictures for processes of Othering in Poland? How
important are and were artistic and amateur practices to question
heteronormativity?

If you want to participate please register until the 1st of October 2017
