Can women in Poland speak? Diskursive Strategien polnischer Feministinnen gegen Ausgrenzung und Marginalisierung von Frauen in Polen

"Der Essay beschäftigt sich mit den diskursiven Strategien von Feministinnen in Polen. Ausgehend von der Metapher des 'Nicht-Sprechen-Könnens/-Dürfens' als umfassendste Benennung von Diskriminierung und an einigen ausgewählten Beispielen wird gezeigt, welche Strategien die feministische polnische Bewegung anwendet, um sich Gehör zu verschaffen. Dazu gehören die Übernahme sprachlicher Elemente der patriarchalen Diskurse, das Ergänzen dieser Diskurse und Raum schaffen für den feministischen Diskurs selbst." (Autorenreferat)"This article is an attempt to describe discursive strategies of Polish feminists. Using the metaphor of 'not being allowed/able to speak' as the most general label for discrimination and marginalization, I present which strategies are used to express oneself in the language of the patriarchal discourses, to complete patriarchal discourses and to create space for feminist discourse."
