“…I do so, because of the lessons taken from the academic writings about performativity and ‘banal nationalisms’. As Beriss (1996: 189) rightly points out, nation is not a fixed monolithic actor driven by some ide é fixe . ‘Nation’, we need to remember, is comprised of people engaged in everyday performances of everyday life (Billig, 1995; Edensor, 2006; Fox and Miller-Idriss, 2008; Skey, 2011).…”

In this article I ask why gay and lesbian people in Poland mourned their infamously homophobic president Lech Kaczynski, and, in turn, what it means to mourn one's own enemy. In examining this extraordinary case of national bereavement and the collective performance of grief, I point to complex models of attachment that position Polish homosexual subjects in a locus where they are able to enter the national discourse as subjects, and not only as abjects. I stress the role of identification rather than identity, relationality, processuality and performativity in understanding the relations between nationhood and homosexuality. Homosexual subjects attaining the rituals of national bereavement break the chains of interlinked subject positions and social expectations. In doing so, nationhood is rendered a “hybrid” space of identification for the homosexual subject. Consequently, mourning becomes an act of “queering” the nation, a wilful subversion of culturally and traditionally sanctioned performative recollections of nationhood (Polishness).

“…Heteronormativity, of course, has been a key element of nationalist discourse since its beginnings (Eder, Hall, and Hekma 1999;L. Liu 1999;Mosse 1985) and has played a role in debates over definitions of proper citizenship in Euroamerica (Beriss 1996;Berlant 1997; Duggan and Hunter 1995;Parker et al 1992;Warner 1993). In contemporary postcolonial societies, debates over national belonging can take forms that incorporate, in various ways, these European origins of heteronormative nationalist ideology (Heng and Devan 1995;Lumsden 1996;Mankekar 1999;Murray 1996;Parker 1999;Schein 1996).…”

Over the years that it has taken to bring this project to fruition, many colleagues, friends, and family members have generously contributed guidance, provocations, and support. Our earliest musings on erotics, media, and Asia emerged from numerous meals at conferences from which developed a close friendship coupled with intensely generative intellectual synergy that gave rise to this work. At the same time, our commitments emerged from the urgency of the aids crisis, which has called so many of us to take action around the complex, uneven interplay of meanings and practices inherent in sexualities and erotics.We first began presenting pieces of the collection at the Association for Asian Studies annual meetings in 2000, where we benefited from astute comments from Paroma Roy and several members of the audience.
