{"product_id":"just-words-mary-kate-mcgowan-9780198829706","title":"Just Words: On Speech and Hidden Harm","description":"We all know that speech can be harmful. But what are the harms and how exactly does the speech in question brings those harms about? Mary 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. Just Words 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 0198829701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198829706\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 04\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Mary Kate McGowan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914249437439,"sku":"9780198829706","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d2378648-e9f0-40bd-84f9-6a69e96e9f92.jpg?v=1680641206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-words-mary-kate-mcgowan-9780198829706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
