Kartoniert, 136 Seiten, 210mm x 148mm x 8mm, Sprache(n): eng, ger Political violence is often understood in terms of rationality and strategic reasoning, or in terms of psychological breakdown due to structural transformations of society. Such approaches, however, allow us to understand only the ¿tip of the iceberg¿ of a much deeper social phenomenon. Margarita Palacios analyzes political antagonism as expressing meaning and desire while bringing to the fore the paradoxical dynamic of morality and enjoyment which accompanies political violence. Her perspective informed by social theory and psychoanalysis shows the interplay of fear, hate, moral claims, and desire. This book is valuable reading for researchers and students from the social sciences and humanities, in particular in the fields of sociology, political science, cultural studies, Latin American studies, and the emerging field of psycho-social studies.Since torture is back in the international headlines now, the study by Margarita Pa- cios ¿Fantasy and Political Violence¿ should be required reading. Her book, centered in the analysis of Chilean anticommunism of the early 1970s, analyzes a pheno- non which is difficult to understand: the non-rational side of political violence. We do not yet have studies dealing with the problem as it pertains to the recent history of the United States, aside from massive journalistic revelations and legal investi- tions concerning what has happened. Among other things, we lack a theoretical analysis such as the one undertaken here by Dr. Palacios. Her focus on Chile is quite salutary because the political institutions, laws, and traditions of Chile before the military coup of 1973 were at least as opposed to what happened during the dictat- ship, as U. S. institutions, laws, and traditions were to the admittedly much less v- lent emergency regime from 2001 to 2008. Thus the question how in a constitutional democracy extreme violence can be possible, can be raised with great advantage in this particular case study. In my view, the work focuses above all on the imaginary significations that link the underlying agreement of three constituencies in such a way that the massive use of torture as well as disappearances of people in the Chilean case became possible.Dr. Margarita Palacios completed her doctoral thesis at the New School for Social Research in New York. She is now a lecturer at the School of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.
