商品描述
This edited book explores how harmful speech works, how it can be used to change societies in bad ways and how we can defend against it. Harmful speech comes in a variety of forms, including hate speech, dehumanizing speech, misogynistic speech, derogatory speech, misgendering, marginalizing speech, and much more. What is common to all these types of speech is that they don't just offend but seek to harm members of vulnerable groups, so that they feel humiliated, attacked, denigrated, silenced, and dehumanised. These harms are not confined to the conversation in which such speech is used, but may involve various downstream effects such as moral, social, and epistemic harms. Harmful speech may also shift social norms by changing people's opinions and ultimately changing norms about how targets ought to be treated. Harmful speech uses this effect to establish and maintain oppressive norms, entrench hierarchies and shape power relations. The contributions in this volume examine the mechanisms underlying various forms of harmful speech and possible responses and remedies. They combine a variety of tools and perspectives, including philosophy of language, linguistics, ethnography, with a particular focus on issues in the semantics/pragmatics of derogatory expressions, speech acts and conversational dynamics. The chapters bring these conversations together and highlight the ways in which philosophers of language have sought to build bridges in recent years with social and political philosophy concerned with the nature of oppression and responses to it. These topics offer the opportunity for a valuable integration of insights from different perspectives.

這本編輯過的書探討了有害言論的運作方式,以及它如何被用來以不良方式改變社會,以及我們如何對抗它。有害言論有多種形式,包括仇恨言論、貶低人性的言論、厭女言論、貶低言論、誤用性別稱謂、邊緣化言論等等。所有這些言論的共同點是它們不僅僅是冒犯,而且試圖傷害弱勢群體的成員,使他們感到羞辱、受攻擊、被貶低、被沉默和被剝奪人性。這些傷害不僅僅局限於使用這種言論的對話中,還可能涉及各種下游效應,如道德、社會和認識上的傷害。有害言論還可以通過改變人們的觀點,從而改變有關如何對待目標的規範,從而改變社會規範。有害言論利用這種效應來建立和維持壓迫性規範,鞏固等級制度並塑造權力關係。本書的貢獻探討了各種形式的有害言論的機制,以及可能的回應和解決方法。它們結合了多種工具和觀點,包括語言哲學、語言學、民族志學,特別關注貶低表達、言論行為和對話動態的語義/語用學問題。這些章節將這些對話結合在一起,並突出了語言哲學家近年來如何與關注壓迫性質和對其回應的社會和政治哲學建立聯繫。這些主題提供了從不同觀點獲得寶貴洞察的機會。
作者簡介
Mihaela Popa-Wyatt is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Manchester University, UK. Her primary research areas are in Philosophy of Language and Linguistics, Meta-ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Social Epistemology, Philosophy and Race and Gender. Her recent work focuses on how slurs and oppressive speech shift social norms and re-entrench social hierarchies. She combines philosophical analysis with tools from game-theoretic and social norms theories to make testable predictions about e.g. the spread of oppressive speech use, coalitions formation, and the emergence of discriminatory norms. She has an entry on Slurs, Pejoratives, and Hate Speech in Oxford Bibliographies in Philosophy, and has edited a special issue with Philosophical Studies, entitled Go Figure: Understanding Figurative Talk.
