  • White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California
    Mapping Latino Racialization: White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California By Celia Olivia Lacayo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies In the Graduate Division Of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge Professor Stephen Small, Chair Professor Michael Omi Professor Taeku Lee Spring 2013 Abstract Mapping Latino Racialization: White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California by Celia Olivia Lacayo Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Stephen Small, Chair The dissertation develops our theorizing about the dynamics of racialization, and the role of race and ethnicity, in the United States, particularly in order to account for the dynamics and processes unique to Latinos. It does so by examining white attitudes towards Latinos in Orange County, California through public discourse analysis of the “Ask a Mexican” column, a survey instrument and a series of in-depth interviews to triangulate whites’ use and logic of racial stereotypes and policy preferences. Orange County is a good testing ground for contemporary Latino racialization because it is a majority minority area, which has a long history of migration from Mexico, with deep racial segregation that reflects racial inequalities between whites and Latinos. While Latinos in the United States as a whole are a heterogeneous group my data demonstrates how the current racialization of Latinos in the United States has a homogenizing effect. Empirically my data maps racial stereotypes whites have had and continue to reference as the Latino population has increased.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.

You are here: Home -> 3.05, Volume 3 -> Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter Posted by Henry Jenkins / Massachusetts Institute of Technology on November 4th, 2005 61 Comments Printer-Friendly Mary Douglas’ “Implicit Meanings” In her book, Implicit Meanings, the anthropologist Mary Douglas explores the roles jokes play in mapping points of tension or transition within a culture. Only a thin line separates jokes and insults. The joke gives expressive form to an emergent perspective within a culture — something which is widely felt but rarely said. When a joke expresses a view already widely accepted, it becomes banal and unfunny. When a joke says something the culture is not ready to hear, it gets read as an insult or an obscenity. The job of the clown is thus to continually map the borders between what can and can not be said. This is why a good comedy routine is accompanied as often by gasps as by laughter. I was reminded of Douglas’s perspective on jokes when I recently participated in a screening and discussion of Sarah Silverman’s new film, Jesus is Magic. For those of you who have not heard of her yet, Silverman is a former Saturday Night Live writer who sparked national controversy in 2001 when she told a joke about “chinks” on Conan and when she defended 1 of 31 5/17/11 5:09 PM Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter | Flow http://flowtv.org/2005/11/awkward-conversations-about-uncomf..

WHITE LIBERAL LOOKS AT RACIST SPEECH PETER LINZER* I am sitting in my favorite readingplace, readingMar Mat- suda's article, Public Response to Racist Speech: Considering the Victim's Story.1 I have finally overcome my vanity and have bought a seven dollar pair of reading glasses so that I can read the footnotes without squinting, and though my stereo is broken, I am able to listen to a new compact disc of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto on my Walkman. I am in hog's heaven. Then the phone rings and I hobble off to answer it. I almost miss the call; I can't see the phone because of the reading glasses and I can't hear what's being said because of the ear- phones. I've always had perfect health, but for a second I get a glimpse of what it must be like to be dependent on (and limited by) physical aids and prosthetic devices. A minute later I read in Matsuda: "Legal insiders cannot imagine a life disabled in a significant way by hate propaganda.' I am what in Texas is called a "Yellow Dog Democrat": I'd sooner vote for an old yellow dog than for a Republican.
