Violence

Violence by Slavoj Žižek analyses the nature of violence in modern societies, treating it not only as a physical act, but also as an ideological and structural phenomenon. The author discusses the ways violence appears in politics, the economy, culture and social relations, challenging common perceptions of what is considered "violent".

Žižek uses examples from history, contemporary politics and popular culture to show how hidden or structural violence can be just as destructive as visible violence. The book encourages critical reflection on power, authority and the consequences of violent actions in society.
