    Not all speakers are equal: harm and conversational standing
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, ) Picazo Jaque, Claudia
    McGowan has provided a linguistic mechanism that explains how speech can constitute harm. Her idea is that utterances routinely enact s-norms about what is permissible in a given context. My aim is to argue that these s-norms are sensitive to the conversational standing of the speaker. In particular, I claim that the strength of the norm enacted depends on the standing of the speaker. In some cases, the speaker might even lack the standing required to enact new s-norms.

    ¿Quién puede hacer cosas con palabras? Injusticia discursiva e interseccionalidad
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2026) Maiarú, Julieta; Sin departamento asociado
    This paper aims to examine the pro-cesses of silencing, analyzing the cases in which certain people, due to their membership in non-hegemonic social groups, are unable to deploy actions through language. First of all, it intro-duces the theory of speech acts, and the notions of “illocutionary silencing” and “discursive injus-tice”. In second place, this analysis is enriched with the contributions of postcolonial thought, to show how the performativity of speech acts is conditioned by the social structure in which the speaker is inserted, characterized by relations of inequality that enhance and systematize discur-sive injustice towards social groups marked by oppressions of gender, race, class and sexuality. Finally, it examines the notion of “noise”, pro-posed by Judith Butler.
