Call for Chapter Proposals
Book Title “Weaponizing Language: Discourse and the Construction of Violence”
The book will be published in English in 2025.
Book Description
Weaponizing Language: Discourse and the Construction of Violence will provide scholars, students, and activists with a collection of compelling and contemporary interdisciplinary scholarship investigating how language is weaponized to construct violence-priming and endorsing discourses that enable terrorism, war, and other forms of conflict. Recognizing that the aim of these discourses is to dehumanize groups and to consolidate power, there is an urgent need to identify the process of weaponizing language throughout a wide range of conflicts and contexts in recent years, as well as strategies for combating and resisting these violent discourses. This collection examines this phenomenon from a global perspective, through case studies of conflicts that cross geographical, ideological, and geopolitical contexts.
