In diesem Open-Access Buch wird Hate Speech (oder synonym Hassrede) im Internet interdisziplinär diskutiert. Die Beiträge, die aus den Bereichen Linguistik, Sprachtechnologie, Informationswissenschaft und Politikwissenschaft stammen, beleuchten zentrale Fragen im Zusammenhang mit diesem Phänomen. Hierzu zählen aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Sicht zunächst die vielfältigen direkten und indirekten Erscheinungsformen von Hate Speech und ihre Rezeption. Aus informationswissenschaftlicher und computerlinguistischer Sicht wird der Forschungsstand in Bezug auf verschiedene maschinelle Verfahren zur automatischen Erkennung von Hate Speech wiedergegeben. Überdies wird erläutert, wie solche Verfahren evaluiert werden können. Daher stellt sich aus politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht nicht nur die Frage, wie digitale Hassrede derzeit reguliert wird und wie sich diese Regulierungsverfahren künftig entwickeln könnten, sondern auch, wie die automatische Erkennung reguliert werden müsste.

"An expansive spectrum of literary purpose and aesthetics that shine fiercely" -from the introduction by Jaki Shelton Green, North Carolina Poet Laureate The Carolina African American Writers' Collective celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary with All the Songs We Sing, an anthology of works by members of the Collective, edited by its founder, Lenard D. Moore. North Carolina Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green introduces the anthology, which includes works by Lenard D. Moore, Bridgette A. Lacy, Crystal Simone Smith, Evie Shockley, Camille T. Dungy, Carole Boston Weatherford, and many others. Individually, these poems, stories, and essays have helped these Carolinians voice their experiences, remind us of our history, and insist on change, and gathered together, their chorus is turned all the way up and demands to be heard. These writers have shaped the modern literary landscape of the Carolinas for the last twenty-five years and will continue to influence and inspire African-American writers for generations to come.

A hundred years have now gone by since in the midsummer of 1882 Pierre Duhem, a graduate of College Stanislas, completed with brilliant success his entrance exams to the Ecole Normale Superieure and embarked on his career as a theoretical physicist. His father, a textile salesman, hoped that Hierre would pursue a career in business, one of the few professional fields where perhaps he would not have succeeded. Not that young Duhem lacked sense for the practical. He could have easily made a name for himself as an artist had he developed professionally his skill to draw portraits and landscapes. His ability to make a point and his readiness to join in a debate, could have earned him fame as a lawyer. A potential actor was in sight when he entertained friends with mimicry. That as a student of physics he entered and stayed first in his class at the Ecole Normale, did not thwart his talents for the life sciences. No less a biologist than Pasteur tried to obtain Duhem for assistant. His command of Greek and Latin would have secured him a career as a classicist. He was a Frenchman, not to be met too often, whose rightful ad miration for and mastery of his native tongue, did not prove a barrier to the major modern languages. As one who taught himself the complex art of medieval paleo graphy, he could easily have mastered the many auxiliary sciences needed by a consummate historian."

When it first appeared, Dead on Arrival announced the emergence of a strong new voice in African - American verse. Fresh and unadorned, these poems were deeply rooted in Jaki Shelton Green's own life and family. It quickly sold out, and an augmented seconde edition was published in 1983. Over the past decade, as Green's audience has grown, Dead on Arrival sold out again, and both editions have become collector's items. Carolina Wren is pleased to reissue Dead on Arrival so that new readers may now see the development of Green's voice over two decades of poetic achievement.

In 1916, when Padraic Pearse, Irish republican and leader of the 'Easter Rising', decided to surrender, he asked midwife Elizabeth O'Farrell to make the perilous walk to deliver his message to the British army. Setting off down a Dublin street where some of the dead still held white flags in their hands, Elizabeth O'Farrell was watched from the door by Julia Grenan, referred to in documents as her 'friend and lifelong companion'. This is the story of those days.

Noel longs to be a Seeker like his heroic grandfather, slaying the beasts that emerge from Abysses and exploring far-off lands. Unfortunately, it turns out he's nothing but a measly Talker--a job with no combat skills whatsoever. Undaunted, Noel sets out to establish the strongest clan in all the land, using his silver-tongued Talker skills to unite assassins and heroes under his leadership.
