European Queerness:
Figures, Speeches, Modes made in France
C3, Alois Wagner-Saal
Sensengasse 3, 1090 Wien
Vortrag
While European countries slowly endeavor to Europeanize their culture and build a common history, an obscured reluctance to relinquish features of their national pasts occasionally surfaces. Among the many modes of this (not so) hidden resistance agenda to changes, supposedly triggered by a growing multicultural population, scapegoated in the name of prosperity and power loss, one has taken on the recently surfaced gay friendliness in France.
Embodied by far right Catholic reactionary groups which are invading the streets of their once French country by the numbers, the threat of loss of substance and denaturalization of kinship, birth and sexual difference, has lead them to meet with their worst enemy: traditionalist Muslim French minorities.
This talk will aim at mapping the time and space in which this meeting and its various drama scenes and speeches was made possible by intertwined phobias targeting the illegitimate new French citizens and the illegal migrants, pitted against one other for the sake of a romanticized authentic France.
