A. F. de Sade's \u003ci\u003e120 Days of Sodom\u003c\/i\u003e, and Vargas Llosa's \u003ci\u003eThe Feast of the Goat\u003c\/i\u003e--that speak to a blind spot in democratic theory, namely, how we decide democratically on the borders of our political communities. These works bear the imprint of the anxieties of democracy concerning its other--violence--especially when the question of a redefinition of membership is at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book shares the philosophical interest in rethinking politics that has recently surfaced at the crossroads of literary criticism, philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis. Fradinger takes seriously the responsibility to think through and give names to the political uses of violence and to provoke useful reflection on the problem of violence as it relates to politics and on literature as it relates to its times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoira Fradinger is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486034837682,"sku":"9780804763301","price":136.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/7c27b6d21e8685ccb8e07373fd8279cc.webp?v=1779300322","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/binding-violence-literary-visions-of-political-origins-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
