Der Soziologe Erving Goffman bezeichnete die Züge im Sprachspiel als »Interaktionsrituale«.
Sociologist Erving Goffman called the moves in the language game “interaction rituals.”
Auch das Umkehren des Stigmas, von dem Goffman spricht, auch die Aneignung und Umdeutung der Beschimpfung genügt nicht, um ihre verletzende Kraft für immer zu bannen. Der Grat zwischen der verletzenden und der stolzen, angeeigneten Bedeutung eines Schimpfworts ist schmal.
It is never enough, using Goffman’s way of speaking, to have turned the stigma around, to have reappropriated the insult and changed its meaning; to do so does not do away with its capacity to hurt us. We walk a tightrope between the wounding meaning contained within an insulting word and the prideful reappropriation we might have made of it.
