The Translation of a System in Deconstruction: Jacques Derrida and the War of Language against Itself --Afterword --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWar after Death considers forms of violence that regularly occur in actual wars but do not often factor into the stories we tell about war, which revolve invariably around killing and death. Recent history demonstrates that body counts are more necessary than ever, but the fact remains that war and death is only part of the story—an essential but ultimately subordinate part. Beyond killing, there is no war without attacks upon the built environment, ecosystems, personal property, artworks, archives, and intangible traditions. Destructive as it may be, such violence is difficult to classify because it does not pose a grave threat to human lives. Nonetheless, the book argues that destruction of the nonhuman or nonliving is a constitutive dimension of all violence—especially forms of extreme violence against the living such as torture and rape; and it examines how the language and practice of war are transformed when this dimension is taken into account. Finally, War after Death offers a rethinking of psychoanalytic approaches to war and the theory of the death drive that underlies them.ViolenceHistoryElectronic books.ViolenceHistory.303.609Miller Steven869317MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464894403321War after death2492365UNINA01085nam0 22002771i 450 UON0040795520231205104727.49920120404d1971 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||Histoire et véritéessai sur l'objectivité de la connaissance historiqueAdam Schafftraduit du polanais par Anna Kaminska et Claire BrendelParisEditions Anthropos1971352 p.22 cm.Filosofia della StoriaUONC005404FIFRParisUONL002984SCHAFFAdamUONV1322781576BRENDELClaireUONV132279KAMINSKAAnnaUONV208926AnthroposUONV248489650ITSOL20250523RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00407955SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI VAR A 0002 SI SS 3216 5 0002 BuonoHistoire et vérité193658UNIOR
