A CENTURY OF VIOLENCE

To mark the centenary of the journal The Philosopher, throughout 2023 Professor Brad Evans led a series of webinars exploring the most canonical texts in The Century of Violence. Partnered by the Centre for the Study of Violence (University of Bath), Evans was joined by Henry A Giroux, Samantha Rose Hill, Lewis Gordon, Michael Hardt and James Martel as they explored the texts that have shaped and challenged our understandings on violence. Selected texts included: -

• Paolo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed

• Hannah Arendt’s Human Condition 

• Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth 

• Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus 

• Walter Benjamin’s Critique of Violence
