This book combines scholarship in pragmatics, linguistic anthropology, and philosophy to address the problem of violence in language. How do words wound? What is the relation between physical and linguistic violence? How do racial invectives, misogynous language, homophobic slurs, among other forms of hate speech, affect the body and make us vulnerable to conditions of injurability that language brings about? While investigating the limits that violence poses for everyday speech action, understanding, representation, and our shared frameworks of intelligibility, this collective volume theoretically bridges knowledge from canons in linguistic pragmatics, continental philosophy and linguistic/semiotic anthropology and the dialogic perspective of subjects who are located in the peripheries of South America and Europe. The scholarship gathered here intends to offer a perspective on the violence of words that is attentive to practices and sensibilities that do not always fit into hegemonic ideologies of self and language.

But still, there’s a mystery to be solved: just how do the transformations to Purpleness occur? Transfixed by clues and conspiracies, Eve wonders if this could be her route into real news. And when her friends and family are affected by the Purple scheme, she begins to investigate...

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: In meiner Arbeit gehe ich der Frage nach, wie und warum self-deprecating humor von Stand-up-Comedians eingesetzt wird und welchen Effekt er auf das Publikum hat. Außerdem untersuche ich die Gemeinsamkeiten mit und die Unterschiede zum Gegenpol des self-depricating humor, disparaging beziehungsweise other-deprecating humor, da die Unterschiede in der Stand-up Comedy in der Wirkung manchmal gering und die Übergänge teilweise fließend sind. Darüber hinaus gebe ich einen kurzen, zusammenfassenden Überblick über die Geschichte der Stand-up Comedy in Nordamerika und bespreche anschließend drei gängige Humortheorien ( Superiority, Relief und lncongruity theory), um den Einsatz von self-deprecating humor zu kontextualisieren. Zur Veranschaulichung habe ich exemplarisch zwei sogenannte skits (Teile einer Stand-up show) des Komikers Jim Jefferies herangezogen, durch die der Einsatz von self-deprecating humor verdeutlicht wird.

Menstruation seldom gets a starring role on screen despite being experienced regularly by nearly all women for a good many decades of their lives. Periods in Pop Culture: Menstruation in Film and Television, by Lauren Rosewarne, turns the spotlight on period portrayals in media, examining the presence of menstruation in a broad range of contemporary pop culture. Drawing on a vast collection of menstruation scenes from film and television, this study examines and categorizes representations to unearth what they reveal about society and about our culture's continuingly fraught relationship with female biology. Written from a feminist perspective, menstrual representations are analyzed for what they reveal about sexual politics and society. Rosewarne's thorough investigation covers a range of topics including menstrual taboos, stigmas and fears, as well as the inextricable link between periods and femininity, sexuality, ageing, and identity. Periods in Pop Culture highlights that the treatment of menstruation in the media remains an area of persistent gender inequality.
