TY - JOUR JF - Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume UR - https://doi.org/10.1093/arisup/akac011 N2 - My aim in this piece is to understand what kinds of acts sneering acts are. I aim to look at what sneering acts do and what social function they perform. In particular, I want to mark them out as acts of ?making people feel?. I explore the grounds on which we might criticize sneering acts, and ask whether the thing that we do when we sneer is always vicious. AV - public VL - 96 TI - ?Sneering, or Other Social Pelting?
