Abstract In the following essay, I argue that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Snyder v. Phelps, together with the symbolic and spatial contexts surrounding funeral picketing, enables and constrains particular modes of community response to hate speech. Exploring community responses to Westboro Baptist Church’s hate speech reveals a mode of resistance based in corporeal presence, as counter-demonstrators’ bodies are used to shield mourners from messages of hate. The corporeal nature of these responses reasserts the boundaries between the public and private, and the sacred and profane, in ways that judicial responses do not.

伤人的话语，掩护的身体：对韦斯特伯勒浸信会的仇恨言论的身体回应

摘要在以下文章中，我认为，美国最高法院在Snyder诉Phelps案中的裁决，以及围绕葬礼纠察活动的象征性和空间性背景，使得并限制了社区对仇恨言论的特定反应方式。探索社区对韦斯特伯勒浸信会的仇恨言论的回应，揭示了一种基于有形存在的抵抗方式，因为反示威者的尸体被用来保护送葬者免受仇恨信息的侵害。这些回应的实质性特征以司法回应没有的方式重新确立了公共和私人之间，神圣与亵渎之间的界限。
