This necrophilia shows itself in destruction and violence, in a focus on other worlds and degradation of this one, and in hatred of the body, sense and sexuality. In her major new book project Death and the Displacement of Beauty, Grace M. Jantzen seeks to disrupt this wish for death, opening a new acceptance of beauty and desire that makes it possible to choose life.Foundations of Violence 410 0$aDeath and the Displacement of Beauty 517 1 $aFoundations of violence 606 $aDeath$xSocial aspects 606 $aDeath$xHistory 606 $aAesthetics 615 0$aDeath$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDeath$xHistory. 615 0$aAesthetics. 676 $a306.9 700 $aJantzen$b Grace$0549363 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812896903321 996 $aDeath and the displacement of beauty$94190292 997 $aUNINA
