This book shows how the unacknowledged legacy of a totalitarian mentality has seeped into the deepest recesses of everyday popular culture. It asks if the concentrationary now infests our cultural imaginary, normalizing what was once considered horrific and exceptional by transforming into entertainment violations of human life. Drawing on the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt and the analyses of violence by Agamben, Virilio, Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy, it also offers close readings of films by Cavani and Haneke that identify and critically expose such an imaginary and, hence, contest its lingering force. 650 0 $a Violence in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Violence on television. 700 1 $a Pollock, Griselda. 700 1 $a Silverman, Maxim. 830 0 $a New Encounters: Arts, Cultures, Concepts. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202022237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE418E306B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
