Sobre este producto
- Besides speakers, many college students, faculty, and administrators are increasingly demanding the banning of words, films, books, costumes, songs, objects, and certain kinds of relationships, such as those between faculty and students. Both progressives and conservatives are equally obsessed with banning things, reminding us that both share a common worldview. In this book, I focus on our determination to ban words under the pretext that certain words constitute hate speech, and thereby can supposedly cause real harm. I offer a thorough review of all the criticisms that pertain to the notion of hate speech. This review reveals that hate speech represents an absurd notion that should have no place in any institution of higher learning. However, my primary goal in this book is to demonstrate that viewing the banning of words from a hate speech/free speech perspective diminishes our understanding of the threat that banning poses to the making of a dialogic, democratic, and pluralistic society. I argue for an emergent perspective that challenges our obsession with banning and cancelling. In believing that banning is good and necessary, violence becomes inevitable, such as the violence that is necessary to ban and cancel. Thus, those who call for the banning of words, speakers, films, songs, costumes, and certain kinds of relationships between consenting adults on college campuses are in no way morally and ideologically different to those who call for, among other things, the banning of books and critical race theory. Viet Thanh Nguyen says that “banning is an act of fear.” In this book, I contend that banning is about believing in the efficacy of violence.
