Hate Narratives examines the limits of free speech and focuses on the role of language in creating images of reality, and on languages power to build social relationships based on hatred. The study provides an analysis of language used in totalitarian systems, along with a particular kind of narrative description, namely dogmatic hate narratives, which are used in democratic systems as well. It focuses on the notion that the media and other sources of information create parallel realities, and that facts created by media are translated into social fact. Central to this line of thought are the determinants by which an individual chooses from among the various broadcasted images of reality.
Iwona Jakubowska-Branicka is a professor at the Institute of Applied Social Sciences, University of Warsaw. Her main areas of interest are sociology of law, modern democracy, human rights, psychology of politics, and methods of political propaganda.
