Demonstrating that it is possible for writing to articulate ethical concerns and enlighten the broader community, this powerful collection of essays explores the relationship between writing and justice. Including thought-provoking contributions from Australian poets, essayists, playwrights, critics, and novelists--including Gail Jones, Eva Sallis, and Frank Brennan--it asks if writing can inform a collective national consciousness and challenge citizens to take action.
We all know that speech can be harmful. But what are the harms and how exactly does the speech in question brings those harms about? Mary Kate McGowan identifies a previously overlooked mechanism by which speech constitutes, rather than merely causes, harm. She argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. McGowan illustrates this theory by considering many categories of speech including sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers for stereotype threat, micro-aggressions, political dog whistles, slam poetry, and even the hanging of posters. Just Words explores a variety of harms - such as oppression, subordination, discrimination, domination, harassment, and marginalization - and ways in which these harms can be remedied.

Just Words by John M. Conley,William M. O'Barr,Robin Conley Riner Pdf
Is it “just words” when a lawyer cross-examines a rape victim in the hopes of getting her to admit an interest in her attacker? Is it “just words” when the Supreme Court hands down a decision or when business people draw up a contract? In tackling the question of how an abstract entity exerts concrete power, Just Words focuses on what has become the central issue in law and language research: what language reveals about the nature of legal power. John M. Conley, William M. O'Barr, and Robin Conley Riner show how the microdynamics of the legal process and the largest questions of justice can be fruitfully explored through the field of linguistics. Each chapter covers a language-based approach to a different area of the law, from the cross-examinations of victims and witnesses to the inequities of divorce mediation. Combining analysis of common legal events with a broad range of scholarship on language and law, Just Words seeks the reality of power in the everyday practice and application of the law. As the only study of its type, the book is the definitive treatment of the topic and will be welcomed by students and specialists alike. This third edition brings this essential text up to date with new chapters on nonverbal, or “multimodal,” communication in legal settings and law, language, and race.

The Canadian Charter of Rights is composed of words that describe the foundations of a just society: equality, freedom, and democracy. These words of justice have inspired struggles for civil rights, self-determination, trade unionism, the right to vote, and social welfare. Why is it, then, that fifteen years after the entrenchment of the Charter, social injustice remains pervasive in Canada? Joel Bakan explains why the Charter has failed to promote social justice, and why it may even impede it. He argues that the Charter's fine-sounding words of justice are 'just words.' Freedom, equality and democracy are fundamental principles of social justice. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms entrenches them in Canada's highest law, the constitution. Yet the Charter has failed to promote social justice in Canada. In Just Words, Joel Bakan explains why. Sophisticated in its analyses but clearly written and accessible, Just Words is cutting-edge commentary by one of Canada's rising intellectuals.
Just Words is the author’s first book. The book contains several short stories, which include subject matters such as single parenthood, faith in God, and the controversial death penalty execution. The author believes that every healthy, thinking person has a story to tell that can move readers’ emotions from laughter to tears, because at the end of the day, all stories are just words.
More Than Just Words is a book that will cause us to be aware of the words that we speak. Words are powerful and will bring about the things that we speak , and that's one of the reasons I am trying to bring enlightment about how our words are used. Whether you may think so or not words can build you up or tear you down.

Are the words that a novelist uses adequate to his or her elusive subject&—the human condition? Are they pertinent, accurate, invariably fair, unflinchingly honest? Or do the novelist's words execute essentially formal maneuvers, engaging our interest through their patterns rather than their reach? And what about a possible third, synthesizing option? Robert W. Greene discovers that the two apparently divergent intentions in question (metalinguistic vs. moralistic) often paradoxically coexist in French fiction. Also, no doubt because it is more consistently self-conscious than that of any previous era, the fiction of twentieth-century France seems to illustrate this convergence with special brillance. From L'lmmoralist (1902) to L'Usage de la parole (1980) Greene explores combinations and permutations of moralistic analysis and metalinguistic commentary in a particular sequence of prose narrative. Along the way, he observes Gide, Proust, Malraux, Camus, Duras, and Sarraute, each in his or her own fashion, moving ceaselessly back and forth between soundings of the heart and diagnoses of the tongue.
Are you ready to confront the issues of your past that you have tried to cover up? It's time to shatter the secrecy of sin that has given power to your feelings of guilt and shame. The enemy would have you believe that you are the only one who has experienced what you have gone through; that you are hopeless and helpless; or that God is disappointed in you. That could not be further from the truth! God loves you unconditionally. You are about to embark upon a journey from hurt to healing, from misery to ministry, and from pain to purpose. As you witness the author's transformation through narration and poetry, you too will discover who you really are and give voice to your silent screams. You will be inspired to dream again and encouraged to fulfill your destiny.
