FOR THE <i>DISCOURS</i> AND <i>CRITICS-L</i> LISTS<br>
<br>
Given the interest in 'hate speech' -- the usual (also the legal) term,
although I would prefer 'hate discourse' -- I compiled a brief
bibliography on the topic culled from my own BB (Big Bibliography) --
by a restricted search for the notion of 'hate'.<br>
<br>
Since postings on this list do not allow attachments, I posted the
bibliography on my homepage:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.discourse-in-society.org/Hate">http://www.discourse-in-society.org/Hate</a> groups and discourse.htm.<br>
<br>
The references are rather broadly selected, that is, they also include
more general books and articles on hate groups, which however may
feature chapters or sections about 'hate speech'.<br>
<br>
Although featuring references on racism, anti-semitism, anti-feminist,
or anti-gay/lesbian, etc. discrimination in general, this is obviously
not a general bibliography on these topics. Such a bibliography would
be enormous. See the Resources section of my homepage (address below)
for related bibliographies, e.g. on racism and discourse/media, etc.,
also for my own work on racist discourse.<br>
<br>
I would like to take the opportunity to emphasize that in my view a
study of 'hate' - as an emotion -- should <i>not</i> mean to imply
that racism, antisemitism, sexism, etc. are really a problem of
personal 'prejudice' or emotions. On the contrary, racist, sexist etc.
discrimination, exclusion, and ideologies are not 'emotional' or
personal, but group based and often quite 'rational' -- for instance as
a means to maintain or establish domination.<br>
<br>
The crucial terms here are power abuse and social ineqality, <i>not</i>
(personal) emotion. This does not mean that individual social actors
may not occasionally engage in group-based forms of discrimination,
exclusion, violence or prejudice with situational emotions of hate. The
point however is to distinguish between (momentaneous) personal,
contextual emotions of hate, on the one hand, and more permanent,
socially shared, negative evaluations (attitudes, social
representations, ideologies, etc.) about out-groups, on the other
hand. Group domination is structurally based on such group ideologies,
not on personal emotions, which may or may not be relevant in racist,
sexist, etc. interaction.<br>
<br>
Hence it is usually more appropriate to speak about, for instance,
"discriminatory discourse" than about "hate speech". <br>
<br>
I shall post this bibliography also on my homepage -- so as to be of
use also later and for others than the subscribers to this list. <br>
