Civilized Violence provides a social and historical explanation for the popular appeal of cinema violence. Drawing on a range of disciplines, Hansen-Miller explains how Modern society has concealed and denied the exercise of violence even though it retains considerable power over how we live our lives. Through engagement with specific narratives from the last century of film and the pervasive violence of contemporary cinema, Hansen-Miller investigates how representations reassert the significance of violence and how they can transform our understanding of the way violence works.
