Hate speech, stereotype, blocking, immigrants, resistancesAbstract
This article aims to investigate the functioning of hate speech, primarily against immigrants, as well as strategies of resistance to it. To this end, we will first analyze these rhetorics that homogenizes, stigmatizes, dehumanizes, and demonizes certain historically subordinated social groups, showing that they operate based on cultural stereotypes. In a second stage, the strategy of 'blocking' will be examined, which proposes an interruption, by listeners, of the presuppositions that hate speech carries, which can cause a speech act to fail. The hypothesis is that if we acknowledge that hate speech is based on negative stereotypes about vulnerable social groups, such as migrants, the blocking strategy can preemptively undermine the circulation of racist and sexist stereotypes and disable the speech acts that presuppose them.
