All too often, creative energy and passion are labeled as fanaticism and associated with reactive and potentially terrorist ferocity. Yet like politics, like power, violence is a battleground from which we can- not withdraw to get a clear overview, since this is also where the future of ideas of justice and civility are decided. If one does not control the state apparatus, with its monopoly over violence, nor the big corporations, with their privileges to operate in the non-regulated interstices of the law, then one can at least fight to render these systemic, invisible forms of violence perceptible. Aesthetics, art, and literature are invaluable weapons in this violent and positive fight for perceptibility and accountability. The Aesthetics of Violence offers twelve attempts to get a clearer view of the appearances and disappearances of these forms of violence.ViolenceAesthetic aspectsViolencePhilosophyViolencePolitical aspectsViolenceSocial aspectsCivilizationSocial aspectsViolenceAesthetic aspects.ViolencePhilosophy.ViolencePolitical aspects.ViolenceSocial aspects.CivilizationSocial aspects.303.6Ohldieck Hans JacobSelnes GisleUkMaJRUBOOK9910427556703321The Aesthetics of Violence2054712UNINA
