This article analyzes emotions and emotional responses as socially coded and culturally conditioned practices within the framework of emotional regimes using selected plays by Vinko Möderndorfer: Transvestitska svatba (The Transvestite Wedding), Limonada slovenica (Lemonade Slovenica), Solze in kri (Tears and Blood), and Sestre (Sisters). The analysis centers on the emotional reactions triggered by dramatic characters with ascribed marginal or non heteronormative gender identities, which function as the focal point of emotional tension in Möderndorfer’s works.
