Violence, Society and Radical Theory: Bataille, Baudrillard and Contemporary Society - Classical and Contemporary Social Theory
William Pawlett
Shedding light on the relationship between violence and contemporary society, this volume explores the distinctive but little-known theories of violence in the work of Georges Bataille and Jean Baudrillard, applying these to a range of violent events - events often labelled ’inexplicable’ - in order to show how even the most extreme of acts can be seen as socially meaningful.
