Abstract
This chapter places two different conceptual fields into productive friction, joining Marilyn Strathern's anthropological thinking on the relationality of "dividual" personhood to José Esteban Muñoz's theorizing of the complex ambivalences of queer "disidentification" to explore the discomforts of two consequential hinges of postsocialist Hungarian sexual politics: the sexual tensions of late socialist dissidence, and queer activist debates about national/transnational (dis)identification. This conceptual fusion, I argue, pushes us to reimagine not only the partialities and perversities of postsocialist sexual politics, but the borders of queer and anthropological theories, thus potentially rendering anthropology more queer and queer theory more anthropological.
