“…A practice of excluding those unwilling to accomodate any iota of difference to their set beliefs and ideologies, those unwilling to listen and learn, those without empathy for anybody but their kind, those who participate in the active dismissal of the marginalized can create the possibility for radical inclusion. This is also in alignment with bell hooks's understanding of community, reiterating that "communities cannot be built without conflict" (Brosi and hooks 2012). Conflicts exist all around us, but we should work on developing tools to resolve them with the aim of betterment of the community.…”

F eminist spaces have, for the longest time, maintained a close link with the idea * * *The Space was spontaneously formed to accommodate the growing anger, discomfort, and helplessness in students, academics, and the larger South Asian diasporic community in the UK. They were enraged at the suppression of the protests against the exclusionary citizenship bill proposed (currently, passed) in India, which, for the first time in Indian history, makes religion a criterion

“…The multi-scalar methodology informed the analytical strategy in the project, as we developed a collaborative process of looking for “connections or points of convergence in our empirical material collected in different geopolitical contexts,” which we write elsewhere (Çağatay et al, 2022: 21). In developing this strategy, we were inspired by feminist and queer research that implemented dialogue as a method of knowledge production (Brosi and Hooks, 2012; Browne et al, 2017).…”

Homonationalism across borders. Exploring cross-border exchange and strategic homonationalism in the construction of progressive nationalism

While scholars have shown the significance of transnational exchanges for shaping feminist and LGBTI+ connectivities across borders to challenge national exclusions and global divides, less attention has been directed at exploring the complex and ambiguous ways in which transnational collaborations and cross-border exchanges also may facilitate and support national agendas. That is what this article sets out to explore. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with LGBTI+ actors in a Scandinavian context, this article uses the notion of strategic homonationalism to examine the ambiguous ways in which transnational, diasporic, and refugee LGBTI+ politics and locations in the Scandinavian region strategically engage with regulatory notions of liberal-mindedness and with exclusionary discourses of genuine LGBTI+ subjectivity in this context. Rather than being restricted to national contexts, I show, forms of progressive nationalism may be facilitated by cross-border exchange of various kind. Influenced by scholars who argue for the need to bring back a focus on racialization and national belonging in analyses of the making of sexualized and/or gendered difference, the article attends to the complex politics involved in inhabiting the impossible position of not being able to “not want rights.” To this end, this article reworks homonationalism, from a concept that emerges or is rooted in a US context, to a concept that travels and is differently shaped and picked up in various located sites, showing that homonationalism in a Scandinavian context takes shape through a moralistically superior position.

“…Multi-scalar transnational methodology shaped our data analysis into a "collaborative process of looking for connections or points of convergence in our empirical material collected in different geopolitical contexts" (Arik et al, 2022). Inspired by feminist and queer research that implemented dialogue as a method of knowledge production (Brosi and hooks 2012;Browne et al 2017;Butler and Spivak 2007;Mohanty and Carty 2018;Mohanty et al 2021;Mountz et al 2015), we analyzed our research findings at regularly held project meetings, searching for differences as well as overlaps across our research fields. After each meeting we moved on to further stages of research weaving our fields together through transnational collaboration.…”

Presenting the research context of the book, this chapter familiarizes the reader with the conceptual, methodological, and ethical discussions and concerns that are present throughout the book. After a brief overview of gender and sexual politics in Russia, Turkey, and the Scandinavian countries, it introduces the book’s multi-scalar transnational methodology—an innovative approach to the study of transnationalizing feminist and LGBTI+ activisms that traces convergences and contrasts between seemingly disparate places and connectivities below and beyond the national scale. The chapter offers descriptions of the ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Russia, Turkey, and the Scandinavian countries, as well as a discussion of how contested terms such as feminism, LGBTI+ , queer, activism, NGOs, West–East, North–South are navigated in the book.
