An international group of esteemed scholars examines how religio-ethnonationalist power is communicatively produced, normalized, and resisted through discourse.This edited volume moves beyond conceptions of democratic decline as a purely institutional or electoral phenomenon to advance our understanding of how religion, nationalism, and media power intersect in struggles over democracy. Foregrounding the communicative processes through which affective narratives of exclusion, tradition, and morality are mobilized to legitimate authoritarian power, contributors demonstrate how discourse is simultaneously leveraged as both a mechanism of domination and a site of contestation as it shapes memory, identity, citizenship, and political belonging. Engaging interdisciplinary conversations across global contexts including North Macedonia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and the United States, contributors highlight not only how discursive tactics of amnesia, amnesty, and cleansing are utilized to sustain religio-ethnonationalist hierarchies but also how discursive resistance can be embraced to reveal the uneven conditions from which resistance emerges. By centering communication as a site of democratic struggle, this volume offers a conceptual framework for identifying how democratic backsliding is (re)produced and challenged, ultimately emphasizing the ethical and political stakes of memory, identity, and power in shaping the future of democracy.

This edited volume examines discourse and the construction of violence to investigate how language is weaponized to construct violence-priming and endorse discourses that enable terrorism, war, and other forms of conflict. Contributors examine a variety of cases, including discourses rooted in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, white nationalism, and other ideological extremisms, to demonstrate how the ultimate aim of these discourses is to dehumanize groups and consolidate power. To offer an interdisciplinary perspective, contributors use approaches from a variety of fields, including communication and rhetoric, sociology, critical and cultural studies, political science, peace and conflict studies, and linguistics. The collection is split into three distinct aspects of weaponized language -- dehumanization and othering; justification of violence; and language as resistance.
