Abstract

Abstract People sometimes use speech to interfere with other people’s speech, as in the case of a heckler sabotaging a lecture with constant interjections. Some people claim that such interference infringes upon free speech. Against this view, we argue that where competing speakers in a public forum both have an interest in speaking, free speech principles should not automatically give priority to the ‘official’ speaker. Given the ideals underlying free speech, heckling speech sometimes deserves priority. But what can we say, then, about situations in which heckling clearly seems to infringe upon people’s civil liberties, in a way that intuitively justifies intervention? In such cases, we argue, heckling infringes upon people’s associative freedom. We present and defend an ethical framework for the institutional management of ‘Speech Fights’, geared around this insight.

起哄、言论自由和结社自由
人们有时会用言语来干扰他人的言语,就像一个起哄者用不断的感叹词来破坏演讲一样。一些人声称这种干涉侵犯了言论自由。与此观点相反,我们认为,如果在公共论坛上相互竞争的发言者都有兴趣发言,言论自由原则不应自动优先考虑“官方”发言者。考虑到言论自由背后的理想,起哄言论有时值得优先考虑。但是,在这种情况下,诘问显然似乎侵犯了人们的公民自由,在某种程度上,我们能说些什么呢?我们认为,在这种情况下,起哄侵犯了人们的结社自由。围绕这一观点,我们提出并捍卫了“言论斗争”制度管理的道德框架。
