Publisher's Synopsis

Focusing on the psychic life of violence and its expression in the performances of particular individuals, these essays explore the relationship between selfhood, agency, and violence. By drawing on the expertise of scholars in a variety of fields – anthropology, history, political theory, law, and social thought – this book seeks to expose some of the subterranean cross currents of the cultural lives of violence and, in doing, to reveal their connections.
