- 書目註：This book provides a novel approach to the social scientific study of violence. It deals extensively with the problem of the definition of violence, drawing on sources ranging from Heidegger toBourdieu. Arguing that a definition of violence is of a highly political character it makes the casethat a critical social scientific study cannot but make use of an 'extended' definition of violenceif it is to avoid subscribing to commonsensical or state propagated definitions of violence. The book pays specific attention to 'autotelic violence' (violence for the sake of itself), as well as toterrorism. In accordance with what Pierre Bourdieu called the 'law of the conservation of violence', it sketches the contour of the trias violenatiae, thus always brining structural violence and state violence to bear on private violence Includes bibliographical references and index "While most analyses dont define violence and regard it as an essentially contested concept, this book argues for an ontological definitionof violence as a reduction of being. This enables a critical sociologyto move beyond tacit acceptance of a historically contingent definition of violence as profferred by the state"--Provided by publisher
