But what are these harms, and how exactly does the speech in question bring them about? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMary Kate McGowan identifies a previously overlooked mechanism by which speech constitutes, rather than merely causes, harm. She argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. McGowan illustrates this theory by considering many categories of speech including sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers for stereotype threat, micro-aggressions, political dog whistles, slam poetry, and even the hanging of posters. \u003cem\u003eJust Words\u003c\/em\u003e explores a variety of harms--such as oppression, subordination, discrimination, domination, harassment, and marginalization--and ways in which these harms can be remedied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Kate McGowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019289739X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192897398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Mary Kate McGowan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943975289087,"sku":"9780192897398","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f1a99d94-f24a-43a3-8529-ac8fecdbcc2e.jpg?v=1681501077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-words-mary-kate-mcgowan-9780192897398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
