Description
Gore Capitalism: A Decolonial Approach to Contemporary Violence Sayak Valencia's thought-provoking analysis explores how violence has become a commodity in today's hyper-consumerist capitalism. Valencia argues that the politics of death are deeply intertwined with neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured bodies have become products traded for profit in an era of impunity. This book offers a critical examination of masculinity, gender constructions, and their connection to the booming trade in violence, providing valuable insights into the new landscapes of war.
