Förlagets beskrivning
Violence and the Body: Race, Gender and the State explores the relationship
between subalternity, the discourse and technology of the body, and the rise
and proliferation of racial, colonial, sexual, domestic, and state violence,
examining the materiality of violence on the "otherized" body. Grounded in
U.S./Mexico border and Latin American cultural studies, the essays in this
collection intersect discussions of subalternity, violence, and discourses of
the body in a transethnic, feminist, and global cultural studies context. They
provide a global mapping of contemporary modes and acts of physical and
representational violence and demonstrate how discourses of otherization are
reinforced and interanimated through violence on what Elizabeth Grosz has
called the "intensities" and "flows" of the body. This title explores the relationship between subalternity, the discourse
and technology of the body, and the rise and proliferation of racial, colonial,
sexual, domestic, and state violence, examining the materiality of violence on
the "otherized" body.
