"Critique of Violence" is a highly original and lucid investigation
of the heated controversy between poststructuralism and critical
theory. Leading theorist Beatrice Hanssen uses Walter Benjamin's
essay "Critique of Violence" as a guide to analyze the contentious
debate, shifting the emphasis from struggle to dialogue between the
two parties. Regarding the questions of critique and violence as
the major meeting points between both traditions, Hanssen positions
herself"between" the two in an effort to investigate what critical
theory and poststructuralism have to offer each other. In the
course of doing so, she assembles imaginative new readings of
Benjamin, Arendt, Fanon, and Foucault, and incisively explores the
politics of recognition, the violence of language, and the future
of feminist theory. This groundbreaking book will be essential
reading for all students of continental philosophy, political
theory, social studies, and comparative literature.
