Representations of violence surround us in everyday life - in news
reports, films and novels - inviting interpretation and raising
questions about the ethics of viewing or reading about harm done to
others. How can we understand the processes of meaning-making
involved in interpreting violent events and experiences? And can
these acts of interpretation themselves be violent by reproducing
the violence that they represent? This book examines the ethics of
engaging with violent stories from a broad hermeneutic perspective.
It offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the sense-making
involved in interpreting violence in its various forms, from
blatant physical violence to less visible forms that may inhere in
words or in the social and political order of our societies. By
focusing on different ways of narrating violence and on the
cultural and paradigmatic forms that govern such narrations,
Interpreting Violence explores the ethical potential of literature,
art and philosophy to expose mechanisms of violence while also
recognizing their implication in structures that contribute to or
benefit from practices of violence
The relation between Hegel and Marx is among the most interpreted
in the history of philosophy. Given the contemporary renaissance of
Marx and Marxist theories, how should we re-read the Hegel-Marx
connection today? What place does Hegel have in contemporary
critical thinking? Most schools of Marxism regard Marx's inversion
of Hegel's dialectics as a progressive development, leaving behind
Hegel's idealism by transforming it into a materialist critique of
political economy. Other Marxist approaches argue that the mature
Marx completely broke with Hegel. By contrast, this book offers a
wide-ranging and innovative understanding of Hegel as an
empirically informed theorist of the social, political, and
economic world. It proposes a movement 'from Marx to Hegel and
back', by exploring the intersections where the two thinkers can be
read as mutually complementing or even reinforcing one another.
With a particular focus on essential concepts like recognition,
love, revolution, freedom, and the idea of critique, this new
intervention into Hegelian and Marxian philosophy unifies the
ethical content of Hegel's philosophy with the power of Marx's
social and economic critique of the contemporary world.
