Description
Jacqueline Rose explores the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of violence in today's world, with a particular focus on its impact on women. From public and private forms of aggression to intimate and institutionalized violence, she examines how these various forms intersect and reinforce one another.
This provocative book delves into the ways in which violence is often normalized and even celebrated by those in positions of power, particularly in Western societies. Rose also considers the role of language and ideology in perpetuating violence against women, and what it would take for individuals to grant themselves permission to enact such harm.
Through a wide-ranging and incisive analysis, On Violence and on Violence Against Women offers a powerful critique of injustice and a call to action. This book is an essential contribution to the ongoing conversation about feminism, philosophy, and social justice.
