Violence and the Body

<p>Violence and the Body: Race Gender and the State explores the relationship between subalternity the discourse and technology of the body and the rise and proliferation of racial colonial sexual domestic and state violence examining the materiality of violence on the otherized body. <br /><br />Grounded in U.S./Mexico border and Latin American cultural studies the essays in this collection intersect discussions of subalternity violence and discourses of the body in a transethnic feminist and global cultural studies context. They provide a global mapping of contemporary modes and acts of physical and representational violence and demonstrate how discourses of otherization are reinforced and interanimated through violence on what Elizabeth Grosz has called the intensities and flows of the body.</p>
