Walter Benjamin and the Critique of Violence: James Martel in conversation with Brad Evans

11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“Walter Benjamin and the Critique of Violence”: This is the final event in the “Century of Violence” series co-hosted with Brad Evans’ Centre for the Study of Violence. This conversation with James Martel on Walter Benjamin’s seminal essay, “Critique of Violence”, will no doubt be another great discussion. Martel will assess the relevance of Benjamin’s Critique today, explore the distinction Benjamin draws between mythical and divine violence, and consider how Benjamin’s essay can help us address the vexed problem of fascism in our times.
