That unavoidable, black-and-white, worldview of survival of the fittest with little if any gray to mitigate it is colored only by the red lifeblood of the victims of the bigger, the stronger, the smarter, the wilier, who literally and/or figuratively "eat" their victims - overcoming, overwhelming, controlling, oppressing them. The premise behind Insult to Injury: Violence in Spanish, Hispanic American and Latino Art and Literature focuses on the representation of the visual and literary artistic products of a group of seemingly alike yet divergent societies, with linguistic and cultural ties that reflect those societies' means of control. These representations socialize viewers and/or readers in personal or public situations, establishing ubiquitous hierarchies. French social anthropologist/literary critic/theorist Rene Girard maintains in Violence & the Sacred that "the oldest means of social control is. violence." While the incorporated violence itself is not the overweening theme of this work, the representation or threat of violence functions in reality in terms that imply its consequences to the viewer or reader. These consequences are discussed in terms of control-directed violence based on gender roles and politics, socio-cultural power, and environmental issues or eco-violence. The underlying message is that of the necessity to behave according to imposed norms, stated or implied, or suffer those consequences - a convincing leitmotif in works by Spanish, Hispanic American and Latino visual artists and writers in the Spanish language over the ages"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114807 650 0 $a Spanish American literature $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112124 650 0 $a Spanish literature $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85126275 650 0 $a Violence in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143523 650 0 $a Social control in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94008625 650 0 $a Violence in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143520 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Hispanic American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / Hispanic American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American literature $x Hispanic American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807169 650 7 $a Social control in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122421 650 7 $a Spanish American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01128195 650 7 $a Spanish literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01128568 650 7 $a Violence in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167273 650 7 $a Violence in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167282 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a Andrist, Debra D., $d 1950- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88117664 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171226044400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DCA59432EA0B11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
