This book is an exercise in political theology, exploring the
problem of gender- based violence by focusing on violent male
subjects and the issue of entitlement. It addresses gender-based
violence in familial and military settings before engaging with a
wider political context. The chapters draw on sources ranging from
Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Etienne Balibar to Rowan
Williams and Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza. Entitlement is theorized
and interpreted as a gender pattern, predisposing subjects towards
controlling behaviour and/or violent actions. Steven Ogden develops
a theology of transformation, stressing immanence. He examines
entitled subjects, predisposed to violence, where transformation
requires a limit-experience that wrenches the subject from itself.
The book then reflects on today's pervasive strongman politics,
where political rationalities foster proprietorial thinking and
entitlement gender patterns, and how theology is called to develop
counter-discourses and counter-practices.
