How do we explain violence? What is so significant of modern forms
of violence that it has produced such large-scale destruction in
its wake? This volume builds on the political philosophy of
Wittgenstein, his notions of peace and violence, to explore how
violence in any form is contained in culturally or ideologically
formed institutions. Drawing on Wittgenstein's work on language, it
explores the link between language and violence, everydayness and
culture. It examines everyday instances of micro-violence that we
sometimes forget to recall. This book puts forth the claim that any
theory of violence will have to touch on the myriad - both micro
and macro - political, social and cultural interactions that make
up the human condition. The author further comments on the unseen
ways violence has been instrumentalized in modern history's many
stages to create a spectacle of power to reinforce authority. The
volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of peace
and conflict studies, political philosophy, linguistics and modern
history.
