Divine Violence

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

Why are we attracted to violence? Why are we repulsed by it?
Can we find representations of the sort of invisible, systemic, “objective” violence that Zizek articulates in his book Violence? Does that help anything? Is the “dialectic of concealment and revelation,” as Maggie Nelson writes, crucial to our understanding (and mitigation) of violence?
Is some form of violence helpful or even necessary to achieve social or political change? In other words, can violence ever be justified (something Walter Benjamin does under the aegis of Divine Violence)?
