Περίληψη (Συγγραφέα)

This thesis explores and critically reflects upon samesex subjectivities, political
discourses and collective forms of belonging developed between activist lesbians in
Athens during 20132015. I argue that sexual subjectivity emerges out of the constant
negotiation of normative heterogendered rules rather than the transgression of gender
norms. I suggest that the temporality of the Greek lesbian feminist/ LGBT/ queer
movement is marked by a time of coincidence in which the Greek crisis, different phases
from the western history of the LGBT movement and local feminist histories collapse
and produce ambiguities, tensions and potentialities. In particular, I argue that the
emergent queer feminist movement goes hand in hand with haunting and displaced
notions of the self. As contemporary vagabonds, lesvies and queer feminists embody the
haunted subject of the crisis before the actual crisis, she is not taken by surprise and
continues crafting space for herself as usual. I demonstrate that the emergence and
building of queer feminist communities in juxtaposition to women’s narratives of same
sex sexuality bring to the fore classed distinctions, generational discrepancies and
ambivalent notions of belonging. I critique the notion of queer as straightforward
transgression and suggest that it functions as an empty signifier which produces
discursive ambiguities. Finally, I probe the interrelation between gender and sexual
difference in producing sexual subjectivities.
