Summary

The Subject of Violence is a critical investigation of violence and its subjectifying capacities. It both relies on and explores the work of Hannah Arendt. At its background are feminist concerns, but also concerns with violence that press against the feminist problematic and push its boundaries. The book's main project is ethico-political understanding and, therefore, it is also about finding an ethico-political language for violence that escapes the standard idioms in which violence is spoken.
