SUMMARY:The rationale for a narrow concept of hate speech
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recent work on hate speech has expanded what falls u
 nder that label: from discriminatory speech\, derogatory language\, or to 
 the more general harmful or offensive language (see e.g. Popa-Wyatt 2020\,
  Kindermann 2023\, McGowan 2004\, 2019\, and also Luvell and Barnes\, 2025
 ). Given the abundance of definitions\, authors like Brown (2017a\, 2017b)
  have argued that the concept of hate speech should be seen as a cluster\,
  or family-resemblance\, concept.\nAgainst these expansive views\, I argue
  that we should narrow down what we understand by 'hate speech'. There are
  two main motivations for this. First\, expansive accounts of hate speech 
 are either useless for regulations of hate speech\, or\, when deployed to 
 regulate speech\, infringe on free speech rights. Second\, many accounts s
 eek alternatives to taking hate speech as expressive of speech based on mi
 staken assumptions about expressive language. As I’ve argued (Marques 20
 23)\, hate speech is expressive of hatred. I will here supplement this cla
 im with an account of how language can be used to perform what Timothy Sny
 der (2017)\, after Victor Klemperer\, calls “shamanistic incantations”
 . This allows us to identify the narrow class of speech that merits legal 
 regulation. The account includes all the cases of hate speech it should: c
 ases of antisemitic campaigns in Germany in the 1930s\, anti-Tutsi propaga
 nda in the 1990s\, etc.\, and none of other otherwise reprehensible speech
 .
