Abstract
The article focuses on the Yugoslav video scene of the 1980s, specifically the videos of the music group Borghesia, and, in them, searches for the period’s ideas of alternative futures and ways of life. The group’s works placed sexually ambivalent bodies and non-heteronormative sexual practices at the centre of their imagery, which not only represented a deviation from the relatively conventional Yugoslav morality, but became a key position of enunciation for the alternative “dissidents.” The article therefore argues that Yugoslavia produced a specific queer futurism that once had a strong political potential.
