Description
Horrorism: Naming Contemporary Violence Adriana Cavarero's groundbreaking book introduces a new term to capture the complex experience of violence in the modern world. Horrorism is a form of violation that arises from the offense of disfiguration and massacre, encompassing a range of violent outbursts that often go beyond traditional notions of terror. Cavarero explores the concept of horrorism in various philosophical, political, literary, and artistic contexts, including the works of Primo Levi, Hannah Arendt, and Georges Bataille. She also examines the relationship between horror, extermination, and massacre, and how these phenomena are reflected in contemporary issues such as suicide bombings, torture, and hypertechnological warfare.
