This paper consists in four sections. In the first section, the focus is on anti-homosexual hate and homo-nationalism: two dangerous discourses that let emerge the contemporary struggle on limits and contents of European citizenship; in the second section, queer sexual marginality is used as a lens to interpret the political need for belonging; in the third section, the autobiography of Ursula Hirschmann supports some queer theoretical insights: ironic rationalism, care for vulnerability, failure of conformism; finally, the conclusions claim for (re)foundation of European citizenship, based on queer, diasporic, post-national social justice, equality and cohabitation.

Abstract

This paper consists in four sections. In the first section, the focus is on anti-homosexual hate and homo-nationalism: two dangerous discourses that let emerge the contemporary struggle on limits and contents of European citizenship; in the second section, queer sexual marginality is used as a lens to interpret the political need for belonging; in the third section, the autobiography of Ursula Hirschmann supports some queer theoretical insights: ironic rationalism, care for vulnerability, failure of conformism; finally, the conclusions claim for (re)foundation of European citizenship, based on queer, diasporic, post-national social justice, equality and cohabitation.
