El lenguaje sexista y el hate speech: un pretexto para discutir sobre los límites de la libertad de expresión y de la tolerancia liberal
description
The notion of hate speech is common in the American legal tradition, referred to those offensive expressions directed to certain groups, mainly those identified as traditionally excluded minorities. The case of the hate speech enlightens the way the right to freedom of speech as an American tradition � very reinforced in a democratic-political theory that supports this right not so much in its character of individual right, as in its utility for the governmental democratic system � has rejected the restriction or banning of these type of expressions, emphasized the value of the public opinion and the market of ideas. On the contrary, the legal systems with continental tradition have been proved as less permissive opposite to this type of expressions, considered as a threat to the dignity and the human being equality. This paper does not seek to provide an exhaustive explanation on how the hate speech (or alike) has been legally regulated in the compared constitutional right. Instead, it is an excuse to go into detail about the current discussions around the liberal tolerance, freedom, equality, the acknowledgement of the minorities and the subject�s identity formation. Being all matter of intense debate between the liberal authors, communitarians, feminists, and defenders of the ethics of recognition, among others. This paper defends an option, weak to be restricted, of the hate speech based on a pragmatic and argumentative conception of the law and rights, and on the validity of creative alternatives against the legal censorship, like the resignification of speech, the counterspeech and the education.

El caso del hate speech ilustra la manera en que el derecho a la libertad de expresión de tradición norteamericana �muy afirmado en una teoría democrático-política, que fundamenta este derecho no tanto en su carácter de derecho individual, como en su utilidad para el sistema democrático de gobierno� ha rechazado la restricción o prohibición de este tipo de expresiones, enfatizado el valor de la opinión pública libre y del mercado de las ideas. Al contrario, los sistemas jurídicos de tradición continental se han mostrado menos permisivos frente a este tipo de expresiones, consideradas atentatorias de la dignidad y de la igualdad del ser humano. Este trabajo no busca ofrecer un desarrollo exhaustivo de la manera en que se ha regulado jurídicamente el hate speech (o su similares) en el derecho constitucional comparado. Más bien, es un pretexto para profundizar en las discusiones actuales en torno a la tolerancia liberal, la libertad, la igualdad, el reconocimiento de las minorías y la formación de la identidad del sujeto; temas de intenso debate entre autores liberales, comunitaristas, feministas y defensores de la ética del reconocimiento, inter alia. En este trabajo se defiende una opción débil de restricción del hate speech, basada en una concepción pragmática y argumentativa del Derecho y los derechos, y en la validez de alternativas creativas frente a la censura legal, como la resignificación de lenguaje, la réplica y la educación.Universidad Externado de Colombia2013text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4352276(Revista) ISSN 0122-9893Revista Derecho del Estado, ISSN 0122-9893, Nº. 30, 2013, pags. 157-198spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
