The individual contributors look into PC-related cases within the humanities, literature, and the media. Accordingly, the publication is divided into three sections: Part I, «Revisiting the Issue: History, Theory, Language», examines PC in the contexts of three types of discourse: historical, theoretical and ideological, and linguistic. Part II, «Literary Case Studies», offers examinations of chosen literary works and authors. Part III, «The Media», looks at manifestations of PC-related issues in film and the popular magazine. Altogether the publication shows a variety of approaches to the PC phenomenon. The assumption of the editors is that while PC has indubitably penetrated contemporary culture, it continues to stir controversy. This scholarly debate is a response to what may be described as PC’s universal reign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContents\u003c\/i\u003e: Bruno Arich-Gerz\/Isabel Wojtovicz: Challenging PC: World War II Victimhood, the Discrimination \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e and the Nazistically Challenged – Leszek Drong: The Trouble with Liberalism: Stanley Fish’s Critique of Multiculturalism, Free Speech, Neutral Principles and Political Correctness – Djelal Kadir\/Paweł Jędrzejko: Between Self and State: on Discourses of Political Correctness.
