Abstract:

This book combines scholarship in pragmatics, linguistic anthropology, and
philosophy to address the problem of violence in language. How do words wound?
What is the relation between physical and linguistic violence? How do racial
invectives, misogynous language, homophobic slurs, among other forms of hate
speech, affect the body and make us vulnerable to conditions of injurability
that language brings about? While investigating the limits that violence poses
for everyday speech action, understanding, representation, and our shared
frameworks of intelligibility, this collective volume theoretically bridges
knowledge from canons in linguistic pragmatics, continental philosophy and
linguistic/semiotic anthropology and the dialogic perspective of subjects who
are located in the peripheries of South America and Europe. The scholarship
gathered here intends to offer a perspective on the violence of words that is
attentive to practices and sensibilities that do not always fit into hegemonic
ideologies of self and language.
