Or Is Its Relation To Violence More Complex And, Perhaps, More Sinister? Reconsideration Of The Concepts, The Practice, And Even The Critique Of Violence Requires An Exploration Of The Implications And Limitations Of The More Familiar Interpretations Of The Terms That Have Dominated In The History Of Western Thought To This End, The Nineteen Contributors Address The Concept Of Violence From A Variety Of Perspectives In Relation To Different Forms Of Cultural Representation, And Not In Western Culture Alone; In Literature And The Arts, As Well As In Society And Politics; In Philosophical Discourse, Psychoanalytic Theory, And So-Called Juridical Ideology, As Well As In Colonial And Post-Colonial Practices And Power Relations The Contributors Are Giorgio Agamben, Ali Behdad, Cathy Caruth, Jacques Derrida, Michael Dillon, Peter Fenves, Stathis Gourgouris, Werner Hamacher, Beatrice Hanssen, Anselm Haverkamp, Marian Hobson, Peggy Kamuf, M B Pranger, Susan M Shell, Peter Van Der Veer, Hent De Vries, Cornelia Vismann, And Samuel Weber Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:Stanford University PressPublication Date:1997-12-01Weight:1.24 lbsDimensions:0.9'' H x 8.7'' L x 6.17'' WNumber of Pages:416Language:English
