Podcasts about impoliteness

In 15th and 16th century Scotland, in the highest courts of the land, you'd find esteemed poets hurling insults at each other. This was flyting, a sort of medieval equivalent of battle rap, and it was so popular at the time that the King himself wrote instructions for how to do it well. Writer and Scots language campaigner Ishbel McFarlane and historical linguist Joanna Kopaczyk explain the art of flyting, where an insult becomes slander, what's going on within the speech act of performative diss-trading, and what the legal consequences could be of being accused of witchcraft. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/flyting.  Content note: this episode contains brief references to historical capital and corporal punishments, and discussion of insults and slurs; there is also a derogatory term for sex workers, and category A and B swears.

For this episode we delve into three areas; banter, impoliteness and power.  All seperate yet inextricably linked.  All things that are common in the workplace.  My guest this episode is Dr Derek Bousfield (https://www2.mmu.ac.uk/languages/staff/profile/index.php?id=111) and he goes by @DrWordyBoy on Twitter.   We discuss what ‘banter’ is, how it is defined, why it is a healthy thing and is somehting that can cause division and friction in the workplace.  Derek’s descriptive definition for Banter is ‘Insincere Impoliteness’ and we go on to define ‘Imploiteness’ as well as ‘Politeness’ and ‘Power’.  One of the examples we discuss how banter can be veiled Impoliteness and how Politeness markers or actions can also be Impolitentess.  All of this is down to... *drum roll* context. As part of our discussion we link back to aspects from other podcasts where we talk about face and facework (episodes 12 and 24), conversation management (episode 10) and in/out groups (episode 7).
