Discours de haine et de radicalisation

Identifying discursive features of hate speech is a complex process and digital practices could affect them. On the one hand, it is relatively easy to analyse what we have called "discours de haine directe" depending on three concomitant conditions, pathemic discursive dimension, negation of otherness and condemnation speech acts (provocation, injure, threat…). But the "discours de haine dissimulée" is considered in the framework of the role of power relations and ideologies that determine hate speech through rhetorical figures such as “argument ad hominem”, indirect speech acts (blame, contempt, guilt…), the notions of preserved ethos and "discursive memory". In this sense, data analyses also involve a critical argumentative and sociolinguistic approach to discourse. The hate speech resorts to numerous rhetorical features that need to be clarified.

Based on current events, considered according to argumentative or discursive analyses that illustrate the theoretical propositions developed, this book presents concepts related to the diversity of hate speech. We can mention, among other notions, performativity, the figure of the enemy, the disqualification, the sexism, the fachosphere or the prevention. The papers, which are relatively short and echo each other, give an understanding of what is at stake within hate speech or radicalization speech.
