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