КЪМ ОНТОЛОГИЯ НА ТРАНСГРЕСИЯТА
TOWARDS THE ONTOLOGY OF TRANSGRESSION

Summary/Abstract: This paper follows the view that homosexuality is not a name for a reified “state of affairs” but part of an ongoing interrelatedness of discursive practices. Within the open network of this interrelatedness a constant transgression of supposedly firm dichotomies takes place. The paper explores basic ways in which homosexuality poses a particular challenge to the cognitive stability and epistemological rationality of human-scientific discourses. It tries to answer the question of the relevant theoretical discourse that is able to reflect upon the homosexual being-in-the-world (and in particular, upon homosexuals as producers of signs). Finally, the paper aims at rethinking the issue of the “gay outlaw”.
