Androgynous Aussie from the Balkans
Posted in Uncategorized with tags Andrej Pejic, Androgyny, Australia, beauty, Bosnia, Bosnian War, gender identity, masculinity, Serbia on 18 February 2012 by delclemThe amazing story of Andrej Pejić, a young man of Bosnian descent who has become a famous model – for women’s fashion, creating a “third space”, a gender bypass as it were: an embodiment of the utopias of cultural theory as formulated e.g. by Homi Bhabha and Judith Butler?
However, the really interesting question is not his/her sexual orientation – as stupid journalists keep asking – but what created his “in-betweenness”: was it the rejection of the prevailing masculinity concepts of his old country of origin? is it war trauma, at least experienced from a second generation? In any case, there seems to be a Bosnian prehistory which nobody has investigated so far.
Btw., he is the man who outraged censors because he exposed his “breasts”…
What if the whole thing around him is just a clever marketing gimmick?
