Violence Konusu ve Özeti

In ‘Violence’, Slavoj Žižek provides a counter-intuitive English-language exploration of the hırçın (fierce) nature of human aggression. This volume focuses on the distinction between subjective violence (visible acts of crime and terror) and objective violence (the systemic, muzzled violence built into our economic and political nizam). Žižek analyzes the seals of ideology that make us blind to the structural violence that sustains our ‘peaceful’ daily lives.
