Paradoks pluralizmu: Absorpcja i marginalizacja mniejszości
The Paradox of Pluralism: The Absorption and Marginalization of Minorities

Summary/Abstract: In her article, Sara Burchert is concerned with pluralism and illusory pluralism in democracy. She analyses the mechanisms of the absorption and marginalization of minority groups, their interests, and their participation in public discourse, the ways and possibilities of articulating positions which are close to them in order to identify elements which make possible a pluralistic society and determine its quality. Essential for the functioning of the vision of a pluralistic debate is the bestowing of marks of diversity on what is present. It is also important to analyze the media situation – structural, spatial, and financial restrictions, which make up an argument already naturalized and accepted, one that should not be disputed. In this way, free discussion is moderated bilaterally, where those who do not have access to it accept that this nieis the result of objective premises, often without even analyzing the mechanisms of subjugation behind subsequent exclusion processes, or possibly – absorption within the mainstream. These processes deprive an individual person of their “minority” character, their identity, and the possibility of articulating their own interests.
