- PublicationOpen AccessProvocative insinuations(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Domínguez Armas, Álvaro; Soria Ruiz, AndrésIn this paper we analyse utterances that, without explicitly constituting hate speech, nevertheless convey a hateful message. For exam-ple, in the headline “Iraqi Refugee is convicted in Germany of raping and murdering teenage girl”, the presence of “Iraqi refugee” does not seem arbitrary. To the contrary, it is responsible for inviting a racist inference against Iraqi refu-gees. We defend that these inferences cannot be described as slurs, ethnic or social terms used as insults, dogwhistles or conversational implicatu-res. Rather, we propose that these inferences are insinuations, specifically provocative insinua-tions, as no conversational response seems effec-tive at blocking them
- PublicationOpen AccessI am large, I contain multitudes: Epistemic pragmatism, testimonial injustice and positive intersectionalism(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Frápolli, María José; Navarro Laespada, LlanosWe explore the compatibilities and incompatibilities between two highly successful approaches to knowledge: Brandom’s epistemic pragmatism, [EP], and the view that derives from Fricker’s seminal work on the ethics of knowing, [EK]. [EP] and [EK] are complementary approaches that put forward aspects of the application of the concept that deserve to be preserved. Nevertheless, their mere cumulative superposition produces dysfunctions that call for certain readjustments. We propose a positive kind of intersectionalism, [PI], that accounts for the fact that individuals simultaneously belong to diverse groups with variable epistemic conditions, some advantageous, some disadvantageous. [EP], [EK] and [PI] make a rich and coherent picture of subjects as full epistemic agents.
- PublicationOpen AccessNot all speakers are equal: harm and conversational standing(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Picazo Jaque, ClaudiaMcGowan has provided a linguistic mechanism that explains how speech can constitute harm. Her idea is that utterances routinely enact s-norms about what is permissible in a given context. My aim is to argue that these s-norms are sensitive to the conversational standing of the speaker. In particular, I claim that the strength of the norm enacted depends on the standing of the speaker. In some cases, the speaker might even lack the standing required to enact new s-norms.
- PublicationOpen AccessEnactivismo y valoración. Cómo superar la querella entre teorías somáticas y cognitivas de las emociones(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Melamed, Andrea F.En este trabajo me propongo mostrar que es posible abordar el fenómeno emocional atendiendo especialmente a los focos de conflicto entre cognitivistas y no cognitivistas pero poniendo en duda el marco a partir del cuál se han erigido. El recorrido que propongo apunta a establecer una nueva manera de abordar el antagonismo entre enfoques somáticos y cognitivos de las emociones, que tanta influencia ha tenido sobre la investigación de las emociones, a la luz de uno de los mayores problemas que enfrenta el enfoque somático: el problema de la variabilidad. Buscaré mostrar cómo ciertos conceptos adquieren nuevo significado en el marco postcognitivista y permiten dar nuevas (y mejores) respuestas a viejos problemas en lo que respecta a los fenómenos emocionales.
- PublicationOpen AccessPaving the road to hell: The Spanish word menas as a case study(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Bordonaba Plou, David; Torices, José R.Menas is a term that has attracted a great deal of attention on the political scene in Spain at present. Although the term had a neutral usage originally, being an acronym for unaccompanied foreign minors, it has recently evolved into a term with clear negative connotations. This article explores what kind of term menas is today. Specifically, we will examine whether menas is a slur or an ESTI, an ethnic/social term used as an insult. First, we point out the most defining characteristics of both types of terms. Then, using analyses on linguistic corpora, we show that menas exhibits the most defining characteristics of ESTIs. We end by discussing the possible evolution of the term, pointing out that, although the term presents the features related to ESTIs, there are two possible scenarios. On the one hand, the term may retain its neutral uses and thus remain an ESTI. On the other hand, the neutral uses may disappear, and thus the term may become a slur.
