This book shows how the unacknowledged legacy of a totalitarian mentality has seeped into the deepest recesses of everyday popular culture. It asks if the concentrationary now infests our cultural imaginary, normalizing what was once considered horrific and exceptional by transforming into entertainment violations of human life. Drawing on the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt and the analyses of violence by Agamben, Virilio, Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy, it also offers close readings of films by Cavani and Haneke that identify and critically expose such an imaginary and, hence, contest its lingering force. 410 0$aNew encounters (London, England). 606 $aViolence in motion pictures 606 $aViolence on television 606 $2Theory of art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aViolence in motion pictures. 615 0$aViolence on television. 676 $a306 702 $aPollock$b Griselda 702 $aSilverman$b Maxim 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910529882503321 996 $aConcentrationary imaginaries$92687222 997 $aUNINA
