Addressing the relationship among social critique, violence, and
domination, Violence and Reflexivity: The Place of Critique in the
Reality of Domination examines a critique of violent and unjust
social arrangements that transcends the Enlightenment/postmodern
opposition. This critique surpasses the "reflexive violence" of
classical enlightenment universalism without committing the
"violence of reflexivity" by negating any possibility of collective
radical social engagement. The unifying thread of the collection,
edited by Marjan Ivkovic, Adriana Zaharijevic, and Gazela
Pudar-Drasko, is a sensitivity to the field of tension created by
these extremes, especially for the issue of how to articulate a
non-violent critique that is nevertheless "militant," in the sense
that it creates a rupture in an institutionalized order of
violence. In Part One, the contributors examine the theoretical
resources that help us move beyond the reflexive violence of the
classical Enlightenment social critique in our quest for justice
and non-domination. Part Two brings together nuanced attempts to
reconsider the dominant modern understandings of violence,
subjectivity, and society without succumbing to the violence of
reflexivity that characterizes radically anti-Enlightenment
standpoints.
