"A fascinating intellectual jurney into the deep-rooted causes of terror in Latin America."
"By means of profound scholarship and acute imagination, Frank Graziano chillingly reminds us that a radical, right-wing discourse remains furiously coiled in the dark corners of Western civilization." "Graziano excavates layer upon layer of psychohistorical meaning beneath the ghastly rituals of official torture and sacrifice in the Argentine 'Dirty War' against mythic forces of evil. A dazzling virtuoso performance!" "Divine Violence is a major contribution to our understanding of the process by which the State's discourses can elaborate the enemy and thus 'reason' a practice of torture and ritualized destruction of the 'other'. Graziano explains how and why denial underlines this nexus of religious, sexual, and violent impulses in the politics of atrocity. A Chilling account." "The breadth, depth, and ingenuity of Graziano's research are truly admirable. The force of the cold and hot terror of the language of the 'Dirty War' is breathtaking. He manages to analyze atrocity without sensationalizing or even skirting with the charge of pornography. This is an extraordinary accomplishment. Graziano persuasibely argues for a re-examination of the practice of terror from a cultural base, for a colder look that does not set out to justify the victimizer but to demostrate that rational people, within a given construction of reason, can commit the most horrendous crimes." |
