AB  - Discusses "specificities of insults and the insulting mechanisms" in Merchant of Venice. Engages Évelyne Larguèche's "effet injure," Judith Butler's "hate speech" and Denise Riley's "impersonal passion." Focuses on repetition of word "dog" and analyzes word "rate," arguing "that insults are inscribed in a world of negotiation and exchange that has a lot in common with the world of commerce." Concludes that the word "Jew," in its "incongruous use," functions as comedy, but that insult remains at its core. English summary, 82.
