Heteronormativity refers to a rigorous social gender order in which the only assumed and accepted gender division is between male and female. Non-heteronormativity implies a loosening of the social gender dichotomy. Both the concepts of heteronormativity and non-heteronormativity in relation to children are rarely used, probably because of prevailing notions of an essentially asexual and unproblematically heteronormative, ‘natural’ process of gender identity acquisition in childhood. In this paper, I address the issue of gender and sexuality in childhood in academic discourses and analyse the construction of non-heteronormativity in selected children’s books. Impulses for the research are provided by critical readings of classical psychological and sociological developmental theories, as well as theories and research on the construction of gender identities in children rooted in the paradigm of social constructivism. The presentation of books created with children in mind, in which the authors point to a way of “taming” non-heteronormativity in the children’s world, may strengthen inclusive tendencies in educational activities and change the existing social gender order.

Tomasz Piątek is a journalist and writer who debuted with an award-winning novel Heroine partly based on his own experiences. The article focuses on the language used in this novel to describe the effects of the titular addictive drug. Metaphors used in the novel present heroine as an androgynous, perfect lover. Linguistic methods used for the analysis of The Great Empress help to understand the ways drugs “seduce” addicts and the specifics of the relation between both drug, addict and others. In this article, I investigate whether the drug was gendered and sexualized, and thus I interpret the sexual context of the relation between the heroine and addicts.

The article is an attempt to reconstruct the experiences of concentration camps’ homosexual prisoners on the basis of their memories preserved in autobiographical texts and analysed using the biographical method. The aim of the article is to describe the stigmatisation and pathologisation of homosexuality in the dominant ideological discourse of the German Reich, and to prove that the rationalisation of violence resulted not only in persecution by camp staff, but also in harassment from and homophobic attitudes among other prisoners, manifested in acts of sexual violence or exclusion from the camp community. The analysis focuses on the physical violence, isolation, forced labour and sharper strictness, highlighting the fluidity of the boundaries between camp procedures and excessive cruelty.

What is surprising in Virginia Woolf’s essays is the scale and the audacity of her intellectual searches – in the time of increased repressive censorship and growing totalitarianisms, she approached the themes of freedom which have remained controversial ever since. The article presents the essayistic nature as a strategy applied by Woolf in her personal essays to avoid censorship, and intentionally expand the limits of freedoms important to her. The author offers an outline of the mechanism of repressive censorship and the chilling effect it worked in the interwar United Kingdom based on the examples of suspensions of outstanding modernist works and show-trials of writers. She presents three areas of study of freedom in Woolf’s essays: women’s emancipation, tolerance towards non-heteronormative persons, and pacifism, as well as the areas of private and public (self-)censorship which existed therein.

Zapomniane ofiary nazizmu to te, których cierpienia nie zostały uznane w pamięci zbiorowej narodu. Do kategorii tych ofiar należą osoby prześladowane ze względu na swoją orientację seksualną zarówno w okresie Trzeciej Rzeszy, jak i wiele lat po jej upadku. Problemem badawczym artykułu jest ujecie tematu prześladowań gejów w niemieckiej narracji historycznej. Autorka analizuje polityczne i ideologiczne aspekty refrakcji tekstów ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem tego, jak przebiegała recepcja świadectw homoseksualnych ofiar. Polski dyskurs pamięci jest wobec problematyki nieheteronormatywności w kontekście II wojny światowej - w przeciwieństwie do dyskursu niemieckiego - niemal nieprzepuszczalny, o czym świadczą chociażby brak miejsc pamięci czy marginalizowanie tej tematyki na poziomie edukacji historycznej.

The forgotten victims of Nazism are those, whose suffering was not acknowledged in the collective memory of a nation. The abovementioned category describes individuals persecuted on the ground of sexual orientation, both during the period of Third Reich and many years after its downfall. The research problem of the article is the approach towards the subject of gay persecution in the German historical narrative. The author performs an analysis of the reception of homosexual Nazism victims’ testimonies, taking into consideration political and ideological aspects of text refraction. The Polish memory discourse, in contrast to German discourse, rejects the issue of non-heteronormativity in the context of World War II history. It is demonstrated by, interalia, lack of memorial sites and marginalization of the subject in historical education.

This article is about homophobia in Polish realities. An extensive theoretical element was also supplemented by qualitative research – interviews with homosexuals about violence, discrimination and other hardships. Analysis of the research material confirmed the high level of direct homophobia in cases with which the subjects were dealing, but also indirect homophobia which is targeted toward whole LGBT community. This article presents a range of problems which have to be faced by homosexuals in Poland. The article, besides the author’s own research, also consists of research material from the unpublished report of the Center for Research on Prejudice.

Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy zjawiska homofobii w polskich realiach. Obszerna część teoretyczna została wzbogacona badaniami jakościowymi – wywiadami swobodnymi z osobami nieheteronormatywnymi na temat przemocy, dyskryminacji oraz innych trudności życiowych. Analiza materiału badawczego pozwoliła potwierdzić wysoki stopień homofobii bezpośredniej w badanych przez autorkę przypadkach, ale również tej pośredniej wymierzanej w ogół społeczności LG. W artykule zaprezentowano problemy, z jakimi muszą zmagać się osoby homoseksualne w Polsce. Oprócz badań autorskich w tekście przedstawiono również materiał badawczy pochodzący z nieopublikowanego jeszcze raportu Centrum Badań nad Uprzedzeniami.   This article is about homophobia in Polish realities.
