Description
The concept of violence has become increasingly complex in recent years. As global politics have shifted away from bipolar rivalry, and with the resurgence of "ethnic cleansing" and identity politics, the question of violence is more pressing than ever. This collection of essays re-examines the notion of violence, exploring its relationship to identity formation and transformation. The contributors scrutinize the concept of self-determination, questioning whether it can be understood as a value that excludes violence, or if its connection to violence is more nuanced. The book delves into various perspectives on violence, including cultural representation, literature, philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, and social politics. By examining violence from multiple angles, this volume sheds light on the complex and often sinister connections between self-determination and conflict.
