A. F. de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom, and Vargas Llosa's The Feast of the Goat?that speak to a blind spot in democratic theory, namely, how we decide democratically on the borders of our political communities. These works bear the imprint of the anxieties of democracy concerning its other?violence?especially when the question of a redefinition of membership is at stake. The book shares the philosophical interest in rethinking politics that has recently surfaced at the crossroads of literary criticism, philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis. Fradinger takes seriously the responsibility to think through and give names to the political uses of violence and to provoke useful reflection on the problem of violence as it relates to politics and on literature as it relates to its times. 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aPolitics in literature 606 $aPolitics and literature 606 $aComparative literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aPolitics in literature. 615 0$aPolitics and literature. 615 0$aComparative literature. 676 $a809/.933552 700 $aFradinger$b Moira$01033772 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459105303321 996 $aBinding violence$92452489 997 $aUNINA
