Abstract
The article aims to consider the possibility of a philological approach to hate vocabulary. Starting from the Victor Klemperer’s critical reception – the known author of a “philological notebook” (1996, 2000a, 2000b) regarding the forms of verbal violence during the Nazi regime – the study examines a model of the “everyday life philology” (Porter J. 2018) and its specific conditions of analysis of temporality in relation to insults and their social destiny. Our main hypothesis, based on Judith Butler (2004) work, is that “hate”, seen from the perspective of historicity and verbal transformations, is not only an inventory of toxic words, but also a resource for subjectivation processes. The article analyzes, as a representative case, the historical uses of a hate word in the Romanian culture between the two Revolutions of 1848 and 1989.
