Violence and Orders

This inaugural issue, Violence and Orders, constitutes an interrogation of the relationship between those two terms: taking as its task to lay bare the violence that springs from certain prejudices together with the orders authorised by them. The contributions are therefore gestures of resistance: a way to to critique and contest old and new orders.

Scholarly articles come from Paula Bigleri, Jacques Lezra, Daniel de Mendonça and Aisling Walsh. In conversation are Wendy Brown, Judith Butler and Frank B. Wilderson III. And our Intervention piece for this issue is written by Jules Joanne Gleeson.
