Dear Public Culture friends,
The much-anticipated special issue on Violence and Redemption, edited
by the Late Liberalism Collective, is now available.
Studying the relationship between liberalism and globalization, this
special issue examines discourses and practices of violence and
redemption. How do we conceptualize violence outside the terms that
liberalism presents? How have social movements throughout the world
responded to or engaged liberal assumptions about what constitutes a
violent act? How does the experience of suffering expose the futility
of the wish to redeem violence through violence? This compelling
collection of essays focuses on the relationship between redemptive
promises and the organization, experience, and effects of violence.
Contributors include: Tim Blackmore, John Borneman, Gillian
Cowlishaw, Richard Falk, Ken Graves, Ghassan Hage, Abidin Kusno, Eva
Lipman, Claudio Lomnitz, Patchen Markell, Achille Mbembe, Laura
Nader, Steven Sampson, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Candace Vogler, Michael
Warner, Margaret Werry, and Richard Ashby Wilson.

Coming up in vol. 15, no. 2, you'll find compelling contributions

Mesches, David Pederson, Janet Roitman, and George Steinmetz.
