Le Roman de Silence Heldris’a de Cornouailles ukazuje niejednoznaczną postać Silence, dziewczynki wychowanej jako chłopiec, który/a staje się później dzielnym rycerzem i doskonałym żonglerem. Nie sposób jej jednoznacznie skategoryzować, dlatego szczególnie ciekawe wydaje się spojrzenie na Silence przez pryzmat gender studies i teorii queer. Żyjąc w świecie męskiej dominacji i dychotomicznych podziałów, Silence nie jest w pełni ani mężczyzną, ani kobietą. Gry językowe oraz niekonsekwentnie zmienne zastosowanie męskich i żeńskich zaimków przez autora wzmagają wrażenie wieloznaczności bohatera/ki, który/a niejednokrotnie afirmuje swoją męską tożsamość. Z punktu widzenia społeczeństwa, istotny jest jednak powrót do status quo i jasne określenie tożsamości bohatera/ki. Silence musi stać się kobietą i żoną.

A preferred gender pronoun or PGP is the gender pronoun, or set of gender pronouns, an individual uses to represent themselves and by which they would like others to use when they represent them (PFLAG). The use of PGPs is meant to show respect to the autonomy of individuals whose gender identity may not conform to the appearance of others, or individuals whose identity is gender non-binary (HRC). The use of PGPs is suggested as a best practice by nearly every major LGBT+ organization in the US (PFLAG, HRC, etc.). Today, systems for implementing PGPs exist everywhere from college applications, hospital intake forms, dating websites, and beyond. While the use of PGPs shows respect for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, these practices have unintended consequences as they contribute to the ever-expanding economies of data collection, made possible through the rise of information technologies. This work will explore questions of economy and power related to the collection of PGPs and the challenge of queer autonomy in the age of neoliberal capitalism.

Who (and what) was silent about the story told by heteronormative society? And how is the fragment of this story seen by “Others”? The article shows that the time of “queer before gay” includes (in Polish) not only well-known names such as: aunt or pedal, but also slang: ‘lala’ (doll), ‘przyjaciółki’ (friends), ‘siostry’ (sisters in Polish, girls in English), gays “from the outside of society”, as well as heterosexuals who got a ticket to the alternative world of the excluded. I tell this story from the perspective of the performative function of language (Althusser, Austin, Butler) and mechanisms of knowledge/power (Foucault). I focus on the activities of homosexual men encoded in their “hiding language” (sociopolitan gay). I show how the creation of the “homosexual” identity closed the community of aunts and pedals in a precisely defined form. And how camp and queering reality allowed them to function in this form. This article is thus another element of decoding the so-called language of concealment, so-called sociolect of Polish gays (aunts and pedals) and queering history of Poland (part of the queering history of Central and Eastern Europe).

The author presents a survey of the mode of functioning of the category of failure in the context of phenomena describes as the anti-social turn in queer theory. In the focus of analysis there are, among others, works by Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman, José Esteban Muňoz. The article is mainly devoted to the ideas presented in Judith Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure (2011), a study that critically revises the relation connecting queerness with the concepts of negativity, shadow feminism, and designs a new perspective for queer research in popular culture, referring to Stuart Hall’s concept of low theory, and to Antonio Gramsci’s culture analysis.

This article explores the political implications, both at the time and for present-day readers, of the way La Princesse de Clèves calls into question gender norms/roles. Analyzing plots and characters in Lafayette’s text and readers/critics’ reactions in various contexts, it foregrounds the unsettling potential of a text that paradoxically moved from the position of hapax-cum- media-sensation to that of a paradigm of the early-modern novel. By focusing on its continued efficacy in disturbing heteronormative stereotypes, it sheds light on the way literature from before the modern era can contribute to identifying and analyzing queerness and gender dissidence in past historical contexts.

Organology, the study of musical instruments, has traditionally concentrated on the documentation of instruments: their history, roles in culture, and classification. However, as post-modern, feminist, and post-colonial perspectives have questioned some of the assumptions inherent in historiographical, ethnographic, and positivist endeavours because of their part in reproducing hegemonic ideologies, re-thinking organology and thus developing a richer account of musical instruments has become an urgent task. With this regard a queer perspective in organology, in particular informed by Judith Butler’s theories of “gender trouble,” is crucial in agitating normative beliefs, values, and attitudes that underpin notions of instrumental identity, interaction, and meaning. A queer organology becomes especially significant in the critical engagement with musical instruments like those invented by the British composer, performer, and inventor Hugh Davies (1943-2005), and in particular his entirely found, amplified, new musical instruments. This is because the challenges to traditional instrumental ontologies, the “instrumental trouble” that these instruments pose: reveal the boundaries of conventional organological approaches and methodologies, which are unsuitable in capturing their full significance. Deploying Butler’s concepts of recognition, performativity, and subversion in their study can thus represent an effective strategy in the development of a coherent critique of Davies’s instruments, but also in offering an opportunity to further the understanding of the fundamental importance that musical instruments play in the articulations of music, as part of what may be called an “instrumental turn.”

The aim of the paper is to discuss Polish sex positivity movement and its relationship to queer theory. This is done on the basis of a case study, i.e. the analysis of the book Warsztaty intymnosci [The Workshops of Intimacy] by Agnieszka Szezynska. The author of the article presents selected aspects of this publication, focusing on the typical features of sex positivity approach (in so doing, she refers to other Polish and English sources which represent or study this topic). Apart from that, the scholar shows conceptual overlaps between Szezynska’s perspective and queer theory. In conclusion, the author discusses the functioning and possible outcomes of this alliance in the Polish context.

Queerowanie intymistyki. Iwaszkiewicz, Zawieyski, Gide

PL
W artykule opisuję różnorodne tekstualne strategie polskich, homoseksualnych dzienników z pierwszej połowy XX wieku. Omawiam kwestię ich gatunkowego uwikłania w relacji do założycielskich, dla gejowskiej autobiografii, tekstów André Gide’a i Oscara Wilde’a oraz wskazuję na podobieństwa i różnice w sposobach konstruowania homoseksualnej podmiotowości. Na podstawie spostrzeżeń Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick i Michela Foucaulta, wskazuję na performatywną sprzeczność intymistycznych gatunków wywiedzionych z autobiograficznej tradycji wyznania w odniesieniu do sytuacji homoseksualnego podmiotu, a także rekonstruuję reguły jego tekstualnej widzialności na przykładzie dzienników Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza i Jerzego Zawieyskiego.

In the article the author describes diverse, textual strategies of Polish homosexual diaries from the 20th century. The author discusses the issue of their complex genetical relation to the founding texts of gay autobiography by André Gide and Oscar Wilde and he is pointing at resemblances and differences in the ways they construct the homosexual subjectivity. Basing on observations by Judith Butler, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Michel Foucault, the author is pointing at the performative contradiction of genres deduced from the autobiographical tradition of confessing in the situation of homosexual subject, and I am also reconstructing rules of textual visibilities of the homosexuality on the example of diaries of Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and Jerzy Zawieyski.

El artículo pretende aportar un análisis de un conjunto de representaciones públicas del pasado reciente argentino desde la perspectiva de una filosofía queer de la historia. En él se sostiene que tal enfoque provee valiosas herramientas para indagar cómo y por qué forjamos nuestro pasado como lo hacemos, cuál es el “desorden” que la narrativa histórica con frecuencia intenta “ordenar” y con qué mecanismos lo hace, y cómo se vincula todo ello con nuestros intereses presentes. Con este objetivo, se describen y analizan, en primer lugar, distintos mecanismos que se ponen en juego en la producción de representaciones acerca de los eventos liminales que conmovieron a la Argentina en los años 70, específicamente respecto a los modos en los que se selecciona, presenta y describe a lxs protagonistas de la resistencia al terrorismo de Estado. Finalmente, se propone leer estas prácticas de la memoria pública como fenómenos de ansiedad política, repensándolas a la luz de la potencia que nos ofrece una mirada queer.

The paper offers an analysis of various public representations of Argentina’s recent past from the perspective of a Queer Philosophy of History. It contends that this approach offers valuable tools to look into how and why we shape our past like we do, what comes as the “mess” that historical narratives often try to “tidy up,” how they achieve this, and how all of this relates to our present interests. With this aim, the paper describes and analyzes different mechanisms that are put into play when producing representations of the liminal events that shook Argentina in the 1970s, focusing specifically on the ways in which those who were part of the resistance against State terrorism tend to be selected, presented and described. In its conclusions, it suggests reading these practices of public memory as cases of political anxiety, rethinking them through the potential offered by a queer perspective.

Inność w sporze o gender. Analiza kulturoznawcza

63%
PL
Artykuł sytuuje się w obrębie kulturoznawstwa rozumianego jako opisywanie wartości i uczuć przejawiających się za pośrednictwem różnorakich ludzkich wytworów. Przeprowadzona analiza koncentruje się na kulturze, której trzonem jest pielęgnacja inności. Źródłami są przede wszystkim publikacje antygenderowe, dopełnione refleksją nad filozofią Slavoja Žižka oraz nad polską recepcją teorii queer. W tekście została postawiona teza, że wysoka ranga pary tożsame–inne jest w jakiejś mierze cechą wspólną zarówno strony antygenderowej (mężczyzna–kobieta), jak i queerowej (system–nienormatywność).
EN
This article is located within the field of culture studies, which is understood here as describing the values and feelings manifested in various human creations. The author analyses a culture whose core is the cultivation of otherness. As sources, the author primarily uses anti-gender publications, complemented by reflection on the philosophy of Slavoj Žižek and the Polish reception of queer theory. The author advances the thesis that the high rank accorded to the same–other pair is to some extent a common feature of both the anti-gender side (male–female) and the queer side (system–non-normativity).

Głównym celem artykułu jest ukazanie złożoności problematyki transseksualności. Autorka szczególnie zwraca uwagę na kwestie teoretyczne związane z badaniem, definiowaniem transseksualności. Ukazuje także, jak badania nad transseksualizmem ewaluowały w czasie, w jaki sposób dyskurs medyczny zdeterminował postrzeganie tego zjawiska. Podkreślone tu zostaje to, że transseksualność nie daje się w prosty sposób przedstawić za pomocą jednej, wybranej teorii. Specyfika transseksualności komplikuje odczytywanie tego zjawiska poprzez pryzmat feminizmu, socjologii ciała czy teorii queer.

The main aim of this article is to show the complexity of transsexuality. The author draws particular attention to the theoretical issues related to the audit, defining transsexuality. She also shows how research on transsexualism tended to develop over time and how the medical discourse determined the perception of the phenomenon. It is empasized here is that transsexualism cannot be easily represented by one particular theory. The specificity of the transsexual complicates the reading of this phenomenon through the lens of feminism, the sociology of the body, or queer theory.

The aim of the article is to present examples of already existing theories about the experience of failure in digital games and then propose a different approach to it. Firstly, it shows the way Csíkszentmihályi’s flow theory and Juul’s The Art of failure describe the motivational role of failure; then it points out the persuasive aspects of Bogost’s rhetoric of failure used in serious games industry; and lastly Lee’s, Roche’s and Halberstam’s approaches trying to recognize the positive features of failure are examined. The author then introduces six dimensions of failure based on Calleja’s Player Involvement Model. Through them, an alternative way of thinking about failure is proposed, in which the failure is perceived not (only) as an occurrence which needs fixing, but as a possibility for a different experience of gameplay.

Celem artykułu jest przegląd najważniejszych teorii przybliżających zjawisko porażki w grach cyfrowych, a następnie zaproponowanie nowej metody jego opisu. Analizie zostały poddane teoria przepływu autorstwa Mihály Csíkszentmihályi oraz książka Jespera Juula Sztuka przegrywania, w których badacze skupiają się na motywacyjnym aspekcie porażki; opisane przez Iana Bogosta retoryka porażki oraz jej perswazyjna rola; a także podejście reprezentowane między innymi przez Shuen-shinga Lee, Jacka Halberstama oraz Bonnie Ruberg, zwracające uwagę na pozytywne aspekty porażki. Autorka proponuje alternatywną analizę porażki z sześciu różnych perspektyw, opartą na modelu zaangażowania gracza Gordona Calleji oraz łączącą opisywane wcześniej teorie. Celem wypracowanego modelu jest zwrócenie uwagi na różne funkcje spełniane przez mechanizm porażki w grach cyfrowych, które nie ograniczają się jedynie do jej edukacyjnego aspektu.
