| Summary: | "The schoolyard chant "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is not really true. In reality, words have effects, and in the end the popular as well as standard legal distinctions between speech and conduct are as problematic as they are helpful. Indeed, the OED's first definition of insult is that of "attack" or "assault."" "In Sticks and Stones Jerome Neu explores the nature and place of insult in our lives. How much should we put up with those who would put us down? Is to understand all to forgive all? What kind of injury is an insult? Is its infliction determined by the insulter or the insulted? What does it reveal of the character of each - and of the character of society and its conventions? What is its role in social and legal life (from play to jokes to ritual to war and from blasphemy to defamation to hate speech)? Why are some insults more effective than others?" "Neu brings together a range of anecdotes and examples in answering these questions. He shows how notions of insult play into our ideas about character, honor, gender, the nature of speech acts, and social and legal conventions - and most fundamentally, how the assertions and assumptions of dominance in insults make them a serious and essential form of power play. Neu uses philosophical, anthropological, psychoanalytic, and legal approaches to these questions as well as entertaining examples to come up with insightful and surprising answers."--BOOK JACKET. |
