Abstract

The book "Hate Speech: A Politics of the Performative" by Judith Butler examines the intersection of language, power, and injury, analyzing hate speech as a form of interpellation that harms and constitutes subjects. Butler critiques both censorship and unrestricted freedom of expression, proposing the recirculation of hate speech as a means to expose its harmful effects.
