{"product_id":"bad-language","title":"Bad Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 'Bad Language', So Mayer blends memoir and manifesto as they explore the politics of speech, while looking at how language has been used - and abused - in their own life. What is the relationship between language and sexual violence? And how can we 'make ourselves up' in language, when words themselves are encoded by a dominant culture that insists we see ourselves as powerless listeners rather than active speakers? Examining the semantic traps of their own multi-lingual childhood - and taking in texts from the Torah to Grimms' Fairytales, from protest march bust cards to the works of Ursula K. Le Guin - Mayer asks who gets to speak, and who is forced into silence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peninsula Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57037631914358,"sku":"9781913512798","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781913512798.jpg?v=1768054884","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/bad-language","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
