Le projet Homosexualité communiste 1945-1989 vise à interroger et à écrire la riche et troublante histoire de l’homosexualité à l’époque socialiste à travers plusieurs contextes européens : l’U.R.S.S., les démocraties populaires et la Yougoslavie, depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu’à l’effondrement du bloc soviétique.Les échanges autour de ces sujets seront l’occasion d’une réflexion générale sur les  modèles, les corporéités, les langages, et bien évidemment les structures sociales et politiques où les homosexualités ont trouvé une zone de répression et d’expression mêlées.A l’heure actuelle, alors que les mouvements homosexuels ont durement acquis certains droits et alors que les formes de l’homophobie se renouvellent à l’Est comme à l’Ouest, interroger l’histoire de l’homosexualité contemporaine dans un autre contexte politique et social que celui dans lequel il est le plus souvent analysé (les régimes libéraux et occidentaux) peut permettre de remettre en question certaines évidences, de transformer une mémoire avouée en une histoire délibérément autre, et d’aller à la rencontre de l’histoire critique d’un désir différent.Des projections et des débats, ouverts à tous les publics, seront l’occasion de donner aux enjeux scientifiques une perspective culturelle. Outre les débats entre les  chercheurs, le public pourra ainsi découvrir et rencontrer des artistes contemporains tels que Jaanus Samma (pavillon estonien à la 56e Biennale de Venise) et Karol Radziszewski (PERFORMA 13, New York).The project « Communist Homosexuality 1945-1989 » aims to question and write the rich and disturging history of homosexualities during the Socialist era, by considering various contexts : U.S.S.R., “People’s democraties” (G.D.R., Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) and Yugoslavia, from the end of the Second World War until the fall of Communism. Debates will open a general reflection about models, corporeity, languages, and about the social and political structures where homosexuals found a zone of repression and expression at the same time. In the present, when gay movements have obtained some rights and when new forms of homophobia appear in Eastern and Western Europe, viewing the history of contemporary homosexuality in another context than the one that is most often analysed (the liberal and bourgeois regimes) can be a way of challenging some certainties, of transforming a memory into a new history and to construct a critical history of differences at European scale.&#160;NB : The conference will take place :– on the 2nd of February at Université Paris-Est Créteil– on the 3rd of February at Ecoles des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, Paris).See : practical informations here.HOMOSEXUALITÉ COMMUNISTE 1945-1989INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE2-3 FEBRUARY 2017THURSDAY 2 FEBRUARYUniversité Paris-Est Créteil (Salle des thèses – bâtiment P)9:00-9:30 a.m. : Introductory remarks by Arthur Clech and Mathieu Lericq9:30-12:00 : Panel I — Ex-centering sexualities : changing fields of researchPanel chair : Florence Tamagne (Université Lille 3)Discussant: Arthur Clech (EHESS)Łukasz Szulc (University of Antwerp) :Homosexuality in Eastern Bloc Countries in the 1980s in a Comparative PerspectiveAnita Kurimay (Bryn Mawr College) :Practicing and Imagining Homosexuality in Late Socialist HungaryVojin Saša Vukadinović (University of Zürich) :A different kind of communist love.
