Speaking Hatefully

Speaking Hatefully: Culture, Communication, and Political Action in Hungary, Volume 1, is an empirical study focusing on the cultural logic of political and moral struggle. Author David Boromisza-Habashi examines the term hate speech within the context of Hungary to document how competing meanings of the phrase shape public deliberation. This academic work falls under the categories of oral communication and discourse analysis, exploring the social conditions that influence political actors.

The text utilizes ethnographic and discourse analytic methods to map the sociocultural life of hate speech. Rather than relying on pre-existing definitions, the author analyzes the interpretive strategies and parallel moral systems used by various groups in a troubled political environment. This scholarly exploration of social aspects provides a detailed look at how language and communication function within the specific political landscape of Hungary.
