An Investigation of Hate Speech in Italian: Use, Identification, and PerceptionSilvio Cruschina and Chiara Gianollo (eds.) An Investigation of Hate Speech in Italian contributes to the investigation of hate speech by adopting the methodological and theoretical tools of linguistics. The aim of the book is to identify the common linguistic characteristics and features of hate speech in different domains of communication and to establish a set of criteria that can help distinguish between hate speech and freedom of expression. The chapters of this volume all focus on Italian, but the analyses, methodologies, and findings of the individual chapters can easily be extended to other languages for comparative and contrastive purposes. |

Hard Work: Producing places, relations and value on a Papua New Guinea resource frontierTuomas Tammisto For the Mengen of Papua New Guinea, "hard work" refers to the creation and recreation of social relations through acts of care, marriage, ceremonial events, as well as sharing and working the land together. "Work", as the Mengen see it, produces value understood as meaningful social relations. Hard Work is an ethnographic study on human–environmental relations, value production, natural resource extraction, and state formation. These themes are examined by looking at how the Mengen relate to each other, their lived environment, and outside actors. |
