Introduction: Violence and the Limits of Representation; Sam Goodman and Graham Matthews -- 1. The Violence of Representation and the Representation of Violence; Benjamin Noys -- 2. Violence and Love (in which Yoko Ono encourages Slavoj Vivek to give peace a chance); Scott Wilson -- 3. (Im)material Violence: Discipline and the Gaze in James Kelman's "How Late It Was, How Late"; Graham Matthews -- 4. Sadeian Women: Erotic Violence in the Surrealist Spectacle; Catriona McAra -- 5. Demarcating Violence in the Dramaturgy of Lisa McGee's "Girls and Dolls"; Rosalind Haslett -- 6. Skeletons of Solid Objects: Imperial Violence in J.G. Farrell's "Empire Trilogy"; Sam Goodman -- 7. Contingent Violence: Bergson and the Comedy of Horrors in "Schindler's List"; John Mullarkey -- 8. Violence and Mediation: The Ethics of Spectatorship in the Twenty-First Century Horror Film; Xavier Aldana Reyes -- 9. Objects of Surprise: Violence, Security and Metaphysics; Robert Jackson.

In an era that plays host to war, terrorism, civil unrest, and economic uncertainty, it is more vital than ever to think critically about the ways in which violence is framed, mediated and regulated through representations. This book explores the variegated forms violence can take, not only physical but abstract, emotional and virtual, and directed not only against bodies but buildings, faiths, cultures, and classes. With essays by experts in literature, film, drama, art, and philosophy, "Violence and the Limits of Representation" contributes to a richer understanding of violence and its effects. This collection not only offers insight into the challenges and ethical issues involved in the representation of violence but, through a concern with the socio-political contexts of violence, offers a unique set of perspectives on the conflicts and concerns of the present.
