Feeling queer, feeling real

Affective economies of truth in queer asylum politics

This thesis focuses on the credibility assessment process in queer asylum claims in Greece, a regime of sexual truth that demands asylum seekers prove their “genuine” queerness to be granted asylum. This initial stage of the legal process of refugee status determination is recognised in both legal scholarship and practice as a proving challenge in queer asylum claims and one of the main reasons for rejection. Focusing on this legal challenge of proving genuine queerness, critiqued by some scholars as an impossible task or impasse, this research examines the affective regime of sexual truth and the affective ontology of asylum politics that underlies it.
