Believability : Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt
The #MeToo movement created more opportunities for women to speak up about sexual assault.But we are also living in a time when “fake news” and “alternative facts” call into question the very nature of truth. This troubling paradox is at the heart of this compelling book.The convergence of #MeToo and the crisis of post-truth is used to explore the experiences of women and people of color whose claims around issues of sexual violence are often held in doubt.Banet-Weiser and Higgins investigate how the gendered and racialized logics of “believability” are defined and contested within media culture, proposing that a mediated “economy of believability” is the context in which public bids for truth about sexual violence are made, negotiated, and authorized today.

The Future of Cultural Analysis : A Critical Inquiry
Across the humanities and the social sciences, “cultural analysis” is a vibrant research practice.Since its introduction in the 1990s, its main principles have remained largely the same: interdisciplinarity, political urgency, a heuristic use of concepts, the detailed analysis of objects of culture, and an awareness of the scholar’s situatedness in the present.But is the practice still suited to the spiraling of social, political, and environmental crises that mark our time?Drawing on experiences in research, teaching, activism, and the creative arts, contributors explore what cultural analysis was back then, what it is now, and what it may be by 2034.In a shifting conjuncture, contributors strike notes of discomfort, defiance, and irony—as well as a renewed sense of urgency and care.

Toward the Critique of Violence : A Critical Edition
Marking the centenary of Walter Benjamin's immensely influential essay, "Toward the Critique of Violence," this critical edition presents readers with an altogether new, fully annotated translation of a work that is widely recognized as a classic of modern political theory.The volume includes twenty-one notes and fragments by Benjamin along with passages from all of the contemporaneous texts to which his essay refers.Readers thus encounter for the first time in English provocative arguments about law and violence advanced by Hermann Cohen, Kurt Hiller, Erich Unger, and Emil Lederer.A new translation of selections from Georges Sorel's Reflections on Violence further illuminates Benjamin's critical program.The volume also includes, for the first time in any language, a bibliography Benjamin drafted for the expansion of the essay and the development of a corresponding philosophy of law.An extensive introduction and afterword provide additional context.With its challenging argument concerning violence, law, and justice-which addresses such topical matters as police violence, the death penalty, and the ambiguous force of religion-Benjamin's work is as important today as it was upon its publication in Weimar Germany a century ago.

What is the difference between psychological violence and physical violence?
Psychological violence involves the use of words, gestures, or actions to manipulate, control, or intimidate another person. This can include threats, humiliation, and emotional abuse. On the other hand, physical violence involves the use of physical force to cause harm or injury to another person, such as hitting, kicking, or pushing.
