The article deals with an interpretation of a poem by Zofia Trzeszczkowska entitled 'Posag' (Statue). The text becomes a starting point for presentation of several 'gender-sensitive' reading strategies. The first part: a 'Non-gender-sensitive reading', attempts at reading the poem in a context of the ekphrasis theory and the Platonic reflection on arts and artistic creation. The following chapter - 'Gender-sensitive reading' - interprets the poem as a love monologue with a dominant record of homoerotic desire and fascination with man's carnality. The third part, headed 'Sexuality-sensitive reading', concerns the speaking 'I' - the identity of the lyrical 'I' is namely weak, unstable, escaping any attempted classification. This makes the poem a text speaking of admiration/delight and desire/lust in general. The article is concluded by theoretical considerations on new trends in literary criticism (those building on 'gender', 'gay' and 'queer' notions.).

The permanent exhibition at the Berlin 'Schwules Museum' - approached as a historical as well as historiographic text; as a venue of remembrance; plus, as an institution that shapes and imposes a certain image of the past; as a collection of scholarly discourses; and, an archive providing a model of cognition - has been subject to a critical reading within the new humanities horizon, situated between a history of homosexualism and a homo-history - hence, between a universalistic narrative within the traditional academic 'grand story' that precludes 'otherness' on the grounds of the 'power-knowledge-delight' system, and, a self-counter-history harnessed to fight for justice and to a new identity politics that is backed with methodological instruments of the queer theory and gay and lesbian studies.

The lot of homosexual females in the Third Reich is a forgotten chapter of the history. Tabooisation and stigmatisation of the phenomenon in question does not only affect the very fact that lesbians did exist in the German society in 1930s/1940s, as it also spans onto the Nazis' and national-socialist ideology's attitude to homosexual minorities. The authoress' text poses the primary questions concerning the phenomenon whilst also attempting at responding to them and possibly minutely clarify the issues being described. She is primarily interested in the changes that took place in the lives of homosexual persons, especially women, in the Germany of the thirties; their legal situation and forms of persecution - as consequences of the Nazi homophobic ideology. Hence, the text aims at refuting the myths regarding the phenomenon under discussion whilst remarking that studies of this sort are by all means necessary and much demanded, despite of scarce sources existing.

The term 'gender' plays a role of import in feminist(ic) discussions in Poland. However, it may trigger doubts. Approaching the pair of notions 'sex'/'gender' as mutually opposing ones misses a perspective that is most frequently assumed in gay studies where a naturalness of homoerotism is an important point of argumentation. The postmodernist thought's cultural standpoint does not provide for a possibility of coming to terms with ecology, the latter being an important challenge of the future.

After outlining the opportunities offered by closely bringing together queer theory and translation studies for an engaged application of trans- or post-disciplinary research, as presented in Brian James Baer’s Queer Theory and Translation Studies (2020), the article briefly discusses the structural reasons why queer theory has not been much applied to the study of Slovak translated or non-translated literature before the publication of Eva Spišiaková’s Queering Translation History. Shakespeare’s Sonnets in Czech and Slovak Transformations (2021). Subsequently, it provides a critical reading of Spišiaková’s volume. The concluding remarks argue that a greater degree of cooperation between agents situated in various locales is necessary.
