Drawing on Wittgenstein’s work on language, it explores the link between language and violence, everydayness and culture. It examines everyday instances of micro-violence that we sometimes forget to recall. This book puts forth the claim that any theory of violence will have to touch on the myriad – both micro and macro – political, social and cultural interactions that make up the human condition. The author further comments on the unseen ways violence has been instrumentalized in modern history’s many stages to create a spectacle of power to reinforce authority. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of peace and conflict studies, political philosophy, linguistics and modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261147500888,"sku":"9780367368913","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367368913_b3110713-58d1-407d-9e20-e43f82b09e9d.jpg?v=1777218321","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/wittgenstein-and-the-nature-of-violence","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
