dc.description.abstract | Originating in the 1960s and in Poland developing since the turn of the
21st century, the LGBT discourse – liberationist, identity-oriented, theoretical
and artistic – can be expected to draw the attention of scholars. Indeed, it
has become an area of interest for many disciplines. It has been explored by
philosophers representing various paradigms, psychologists and sociologists
and continues to draw the attention of anthropologists and cultural, literary
and film studies researchers. It is also present in linguistic investigations and
reflection.
In Poland, the research has so far focused mostly on the problem of names
given to LGBT individuals. This is a highly sensitive area of giving linguistic
shape to the perception and categorisation of persons whose psychosexual
identity is different than the commonly accepted one – both in the so called
general language and in the insiders’ language, that is as practiced by the
LGBT community.
The adopted approach looks into the linguistic practices of non-heterosexual
persons. The main focus is on a genre of speech whose performative nature
creates a new reality that goes well beyond the language, both on the individual
and on the social scale – coming out, a public (albeit to a different extent) selfdeclaration
meaning ‘I am an LGBT person’.
This communicative act has a long history, although its present name is
relatively new and dates back to the 1960s. In Poland, it appeared in the public
discourse in the 1990s and has quickly become adapted – together with its
English name, which has been transferred into Polish.
Taking cultural linguistics as its theoretical basis, this book discusses a genre
which is (relatively) new to Polish genology: its semantics and pragmatics and
the accompanying struggles to find a name or label for it (or, to use a newmedia
phrase, to tag it). The name in this case is particularly important as it documents the evolution in meaning and carries a substantial emotional load
towards the communicative event it refers to.
Although the book’s primary concern is the Polish practice of ‘coming out of
the closet’, reference is also made to the acts of coming out taking place outside
Poland and the world of fiction, which serves as a source of representation of
the LGBT issue and an illustration of the phenomena discussed. This broader
context provides the essential background and a base of data. Coming out is
regarded here as a beyond-the-borders genre of speech (not universal, though,
as non-heteronormativity is closely connected with specific cultures); still, the
focus is primarily on its linguistic description in the Polish discourse space. | pl_PL |
