SUMMARY:White American Anti-Racism: The Moralization of Speech (Paul Lichte
 rman)
DESCRIPTION:Vortrag von Paul Lichterman (Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaft
 en Bad Homburg/University of Southern California)\, kommentiert von Greta 
 Wagner (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a. M.)\nWhite anti-racists in the US
  have fashioned a social movement that relies on tremendous verbal skill. 
 Why does elaborate\, self-reflexive articulation matter so much\, even whe
 n it can be uncomfortable for potential participants? Critics charge that 
 specialized language is part of an elitist\, divisive »woke« culture tha
 t anti-racists share with many other US political progressives. Academic o
 bservers have explained anti-racists’ distinctive speech habits in terms
  of their social status interests\, irrational moralism or intellectual mi
 stakes. I propose instead that the special speech emerges from the activis
 ts’ distinctive theory of language itself and is a response to a moral p
 redicament for white people who challenge systemic racism. Informed by wor
 k in sociology of morality and linguistic anthropology\, ethnographic work
  shows us the deep moral significance of speech habits in two sites of whi
 te anti-racism. A research focus on language and speech habits illuminates
  a powerful\, underappreciated source of conflicts that commentators call 
 »culture wars«.\n \nVortragsreihe des AK Kritische Soziologie. Gemeinsa
