Violence

A Reappraisal

Herausgeber: Duong, Kevin

Beschreibung

Can political violence create freedom? What if the cost of violent liberation is too high? How does one even calculate that when the status quo is a condition of sustained violence? This volume brings together essays by political theorists, intellectual historians, and other social scientists to reflect on these classic questions anew.

Autor

Kevin Duong is Assistant Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia, USA. He teaches political theory and intellectual history and is the author of The Virtues of Violence: Democracy Against Disintegration in Modern France. Much of his research focuses on how the revolutionary agency of "the people" is expressed, but his interests extend beyond democratic theory to fields such as queer theory, political violence, the history of the human sciences, colonialism and empire, and the history of the left.
