Radical political changes have led to the emergence of new social actors, such as the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) movement, the airing of new discourses about sexuality, as well as the eruption of new social conflicts and divisions.<br \/>\nThis interdisciplinary Colloquium will bring together scholars in the social sciences, history, Slavic and other area studies, as well as activists from LGBT communities, to examine the relationships between gender, nation and sexuality. How, for example, did the emergence of revised national identities after 1989 relate to new conceptions of non-normative gender and sexuality?<br \/>\nWhat were the local dimensions of the &#8218;lesbian and gay question&#8216;, and why <!--more-->did they develop? How did queer sexualities in this region evolve historically? And what influence does that historical legacy have today? What are the specificities and particularities of Central and Eastern European sexual identities, within the region and compared with Western and other non-Western formations?<br \/>\nThere will be a screening of the film &#8222;Beyond the Pink Curtain&#8220; (2009) and a discussion with Director Matthew Charles at 3pm on Thursday 21st January in the Birkbeck Cinema, 43 Gordon Square.<br \/>\nNumbers are strictly limited, so please register early.<br \/>\nCost, includes vegetarian lunch: \u00a325 Standard \u00a310 Birkbeck staff and all students.
