Why so much hate: prejudice and hate speech in contermporary society 480-ERS-1WMH
The basic premise of the course is to analyze the mechanisms of prejudice and discrimination. In addition to key concepts related to the topic and theories explaining the origin of prejudice, various types of existing data will be analyzed. Traditional and contemporary forms of nationalism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism and others will be considered in relation to the spread of hate speech both on the internet and in real life. Particular emphasis will be placed on the psychological and social consequences of these phenomena. We will also look at the contextual factors that are essential to their dynamics.
