Notions

  • otherness

    result of a discursive process by which a "dominant" group ("us" / between oneself) constructs one or more "dominated" groups ("them", the others) by stigmatizing a difference - real or imaginary - presented as a denial of identity and therefore a potential ground for discrimination. (Staszak, 2008).

  • Orthopraxy

    correctness of the action taken, consistent with the beliefs of the faith of each

    Celier, 2004
  • outing

    disclosure by a third party of a person's homosexuality, without their prior consent. (Larousse, 2020)

    Unlike the voluntary and personal act of coming out, outing refers to the act of revealing that a person is homosexual without their consent. For the "outraged" person, the act is of great violence, which can expose and weaken him. (SOS Homophobie, 2020)
