About The Book

<p><em>Critique of Violence</em> is a highly original and lucid investigation of the heated controversy between poststructuralism and critical theory. Leading theorist Beatrice Hanssen uses Walter Benjamin's essay 'Critique of Violence' as a guide to analyse the contentious debate, shifting the emphasis from struggle to dialogue between the two parties. Regarding the questions of critique and violence as the major meeting points between both traditions, Hanssen positions herself <em>between</em> the two in an effort to investigate what critical theory and poststructuralism have to offer each other. In the course of doing so, she assembles imaginative new readings of Benjamin, Arendt, Fanon and Foucault, and incisively explores the politics of recognition, the violence of language, and the future of feminist theory.<br> This groundbreaking book will be essential reading for all students of continental philosophy, political theory, social studies and comparative literature.<br> Also available in this series:<br><strong>Essays on Otherness</strong><br> Hb: 0-415-13107-3: £50.00<br> Pb: 0-415-13108-1: £15.99<br><strong>Hegel After Derrida</strong><br> Hb: 0-415-17104-4: £50.00<br> Pb: 0-415-17105-9: £15.99<br><strong>The Hypocritical Imagination</strong><br> Hb: 0-415-21361-4: £47.50<br> Pb: 0-415-21362-2: £15.99<br><strong>Philosophy and Tragedy</strong><br> Hb: 0-415-19141-6: £45.00<br> Pb: 0-415-19142-4: £14.99<br><strong>Textures of Light</strong><br> Hb: 0-415-14273-3: £42.50<br> Pb: 0-415-14274-1: £13.99<br><strong>Very Little ...
