Jan Hoffman French ─ From Honor to Dignity: Criminal Libel, Press Freedom, and Racist Speech in Brazil
Wednesday, Nov 5 6:00p
Joukowsky Forum
Providence,
RI
This paper argues that honor crimes, such as criminal libel, have paved the way for regulating racist hate speech in Brazil, which in many Western states is deemed to protect equality and dignity. Explaining that the United States is an outlier when it comes to absolute free speech, the paper also critiques the use by international NGOs of local examples to further their goals that are sometimes, and particularly in this case, normatively centered on free speech assumptions of the United States.
