<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"arialmt"">In recent years, hatred or instigation of discrimination has increased against
foreigners, immigrants or various religious, ethnic and sexual minorities in different
developed societies. Hate speech has more and more become a fatal problem to the
social, cultural and political life of contemporary democracies. How should
democratic societies respond to such persistent problem as well as to the broader
forms of “othering” that motivate hate speech? How can we prevent it? It seems to
us that neither the cause of nor cure for this pernicious phenomenon is well
appreciated in the context of today’s globalized world. Societies in Europe and East
Asia present ample occasions for examining the various dimensions of hate speech
phenomenon. Many of the cases show that hate speech involves a complex web of
historical injustices, economic inequalities, religious tensions, socio-political
ideologies and emerging democratic challenges, as well as divergent legal
constructions.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"arialmt"">This project seeks to illuminate the national, regional and global dynamics of hate
speech from diverse viewpoints that include the political, legal, historical, ideological
and religio-cultural perspectives. To this end, it focuses on the cases of hate speech
in the three countries of Korea, Japan and France. We will examine the contours of
hate speech in the Korean, Japanese and French contexts; explore the historical,
ideological or religio-cultural background of hate speech production and
dissemination in each society that is globalized; and evaluate the cases and provide
policy proposals from a human rights perspective. This research project is intended
not only to show similarities in this global phenomenon observed beyond the political
and geographical boundaries, but also to distinguish differences in the historical,
legal and cultural foundation of each nation-state that cause and maintain the
expression and structure of the discrimination. The comparative nature of this
collaborative research will help fill in blind spots and lead to better informed and
more sophisticated and practical recommendations for the prevention of hate speech
in many Eastern and Western societies.

<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"arialmt"">We invite paper proposals from different approaches such as communication, media
studies, history, sociology, anthropology, political science, legal studies, religious
studies </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"arial";font-weight:700">that examine, but not restricted to, the following questions:
