Abstract

This paper employs the notion of abjection to explore how debates
surrounding Ana Brnabić, the first openly lesbian prime minister in Serbia and
Eastern Europe, stir affectively lined layers of prejudice across the political spectrum.
Drawing upon a range of empirical sources, I argue that the actors engaging in
debates about Brnabić’s both private and public life are entangled in a loop of
abjection which, while comprising gender, sexuality, ‘race’, and the body, reflects
strong patriarchal undercurrents as structural features of Serbian politics.
