This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to try to answer the
question of how do we, as human beings, go from the socially
neutral linguistic act of discriminating external stimuli to the
socially loaded act of promoting social discrimination though
language? This contributed volume brings together works presented
at the international event "From Discriminating to Discrimination -
The Influence of Language on Identity and Subjectivity". This was
an online event hosted and organized by the Brandenburg University
of Technology (BTU), Germany, in partnership with Sao Paulo State
University (UNESP), Brazil, that brought together lecturers from
different universities around the world. During the event,
linguists, psychologists, language teachers, social workers and
pedagogues got together to discuss how discriminating can be
recognized as a natural and important ability of the human being in
the early stages of life and, after that, how to avoid
discriminatory acts against others. The debates held online took
into account the important and necessary dialogue between
linguistics and other social sciences to discuss the role played by
language as a form of building subjectivity and teaching practices
that can contribute to minimize discrimination and promote
integration and acceptance in a broad sense, understanding the
preponderant role of language in recognizing what is different
(discriminating), without diminishing or excluding it
(discrimination). From Discriminating to Discrimination: The
Influence of Language on Identity and Subjectivity will help
linguists, psychologists, educators, social workers and a broad
range of social scientists working with cognitive, linguistic and
educational studies understand the path taken by differentiation,
from the beginning of the child's language development - when
discrimination (of sounds, gestures, etc.) is essential for the
acquisition of language to occur -, until the moment when
differentiation, discrimination, ceases to be an essential factor
and becomes a means of social segregation.
