liberal homophobia
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: The intellectual Daniel Borrillo refers to liberal homophobia as that which accepts homosexuality so long as it is not discussed. This type of homophobia is represented in phrases like, 'I don't care what anyone does in private so long as they don't tell me about it'. In the professional world, this is crystallized in the recently abolished slogan of the US army: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'.
ref: 2012, Margarita Alonso, Best Inclusion Practices: LGBT Diversity, Routledge:
text: After the deadly shooting attack at Barnoar, liberal homophobia surfaced along with support for the community. It took the form of a debate over coming out of the closet and "outing". Many people said that a person's sexual orientation was his own private business, and spoke out against the expectation that well-known people would come out of the closet. The debate ignored the fact that society considers only one sexual orientation a private matter. Heterosexuality is always public, and may always be talked about.
ref: 2013 June, Aeyal Gross, “Israel's liberal homophobia”, in ILGA:
text: To fully understand “liberal homophobia”, we must consider the centrality of the private/public distinction in liberalism along with the correlation of homosexuality/heterosexuality to this divide.
ref: 2015, Aeyal Gross, “The Politics of LGBT Rights in Israel and Beyond: Nationality, Normativity, and Queer Politics”, in Columbia Human Rights Law Review:
text: Another type of men’s group, or trend in critical thought on men, is often forgotten in our typologies: the “gay groups” along with their commercial and association networks. Their omission highlights the heterocentrism on the part of men studies, which can only deconstruct masculinity in its heterosexual expression. A common current form of liberal homophobia is demonstrated in accepting this sphere, even mentioning the GLBT movement, but eventually not granting gays the status of men that would enable us to include them in our deconstruction of hegemonic masculinity.
ref: 2017 January, Daniel Welzer-Lang, “Epistemology of Critical Studies on Men and Masculinity”, in Men’s Studies Press:
glosses: The acceptance of homosexuality as long as it remains a private issue.

cognitive estrangement
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Coined by Yugoslav-born academic, writer and critic Darko Suvin in his 1979 book Metamorphoses of Science Fiction.
Senses: examples: text: In his book Metamorphoses of Science Fiction (1979), Suvin introduced a number of ideas that remain central in sf criticism: cognitive estrangement, the novum and sf's genetic link with utopia. In the notion of cognitive estrangement, Suvin conflate two distinct, but related, ideas of estrangement from earlier literary theory: ostranenie (de-familiarization) from the Russian Formalists, and Berthold Brecht's Verfremdungseffekt (alienation effect).[…]Even more influential in sf theory than cognitive estrangement is Suvin's concept of the novum.
ref: 2003, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr., “7: Marxist theory and science fiction”, in Edward James, Farah Mendlesohn, editors, The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction, Cambridge University Press, page 118:
text: Cognitive estrangement can therefore be seen as defining the textual effects of such work: the text faces its audience with something that will not fit into the existing patterns of verisimilitude, yet is being asserted and explored as fact.
ref: 2005, Jan Johnson-Smith, American Science Fiction TV: Star Trek, Stargate and Beyond, I.B. Tauris, page 26:
text: Darko Suvin, the eminent theorist of science fiction, defined science fiction as a literature of cognitive estrangement, a genre in which the reader enters an imaginative world different or estranged from his or her empirical world, but different in a way that obeys rational causation or scientific law: thus, it is estranged cognitively.
