The euphoria that has accompanied the birth and
expansion of the internet as a "liberation technology" is
increasingly eclipsed by an explosion of vitriolic language on a
global scale. Digital Hate: The Global Conjuncture of Extreme
Speech provides the first distinctly global and
interdisciplinary perspective on hateful language online. Moving
beyond Euro-American allegations of "fake news," contributors draw
attention to local idioms and practices and explore the profound
implications for how community is imagined, enacted, and brutally
enforced around the world. With a cross-cultural framework
nuanced by ethnography and field-based research, the volume
investigates a wide range of cases—from anti-immigrant memes
targeted at Bolivians in Chile to trolls serving the ruling AK
Party in Turkey—to ask how the potential of extreme speech to
talk back to authorities has come under attack by diverse forms of
digital hate cultures. Offering a much-needed global perspective on
the "dark side" of the internet, Digital Hate is a
timely and critical look at the raging debates around online
media's failed promises.
Global communication can be difficult in the best of circumstances.
The contributors in this book take seriously the premise that one
can examine communication within specific global settings and
scenes with the goal of ensuring that the meanings made among those
within specific communities is more clearly understood. This
includes recognizing that we often communicate based on specific
assumptions and act in ways that have normative bases that are
shared with those within communities, but are often difficult to
discern or navigate by those who are not members of them. Situated
within the Ethnography of Communication research program, the
contributors in this volume use Cultural Discourse Analysis to
examine such practices, a theory and methodology developed by Donal
Carbaugh over the past thirty years. The book is a celebration of
his work and career, in which forty-four prominent Communication
scholars and practitioners come together to use this framework to
examine pressing communication issues across the globe. The book
includes a preface by Gerry Philipsen that is an academic history
of Carbaugh's career, an introduction outlining the history and
current practice of Cultural Discourse Analysis, sixteen data based
chapters using the framework to examine a broad range of
inter/cultural communication practices across the globe, and an
epilogue by Carbaugh reviewing this research and its future
trajectory. The book is a handbook of Cultural Discourse Analysis
for examining the latest in Cultural Discourse Analysis research
and learning how to do such work that will be useful to advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in a broad range of fields,
inter/cultural communication scholars, and all those who seek to
better understand and communicate in the global world today.
Practical in focus, grounded in social interaction, and written in
a strong narrative style replete with concrete examples,
Intercultural Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions
provides readers with an examination of diverse cultural practices
that can be used to support successful communication. Author David
Boromisza-Habashi's approach is grounded in theory, yet relevant
and highly accessible for students. Using vivid and relatable
anecdotes, he deftly explores the primary challenge of effective
intercultural communication in our globalized world: the ability to
properly coordinate interactions to achieve shared meaning. The
vital importance of understanding cultural communication, and how
it relates to being a responsible member of society, is stressed
throughout the book. The weaving of scholarly work and everyday
encounters highlights the role of inquiry as not just an academic
endeavor but as an everyday practice. Strategies for coordinating
intercultural encounters in the real world encourage readers to
take action and recognize that this work and learning doesn't end
when the course ends. Rather, it is a process, one that should be
an ongoing part of their lives. The pragmatic, thought-provoking
approach of this book is timely, useful, and relevant.
Intercultural Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions is the
ideal textbook for students of intercultural communication who wish
to create and foster meaningful social interactions.
In Speaking Hatefully, David Boromisza-Habashi focuses on the use
of the term “hate speech” as a window on the cultural logic of
political and moral struggle in public deliberation. This empirical
study of gyűlöletbeszéd, or "hate speech," in Hungary documents
competing meanings of the term, the interpretive strategies used to
generate those competing meanings, and the parallel moral systems
that inspire political actors to question their opponents’
interpretations. In contrast to most existing treatments of the
subject, Boromisza-Habashi’s argument does not rely on
pre-existing definitions of "hate speech." Instead, he uses a
combination of ethnographic and discourse analytic methods to map
existing meanings and provide insight into the sociocultural life
of those meanings in a troubled political environment.
