  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    Psychological internalization is one of the central topological shifts of violence in modernity.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    The camp is a non-place. In this sense it is different from the prison, which still is part of a place.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    The concentration camp is also an expression of this topological change.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    In modernity, brute violence was delegitimized not only on the political stage but also in nearly all other social milieus. It has lost virtually every show-place.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    It was neither silent nor naked but rather eloquent and signifying.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    violence did not conceal itself. It was visible and manifest. It had no shame.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    In premodernity, violence was ubiquitous, and above all both mundane and visible. It was a significant component of social practice and communication. Thus it was not merely wielded but also expressly put on display
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    In modernity, violence assumes a psychic, psychologized, internalized form. It takes on intrapsychic forms.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    It was a society of blood, distinct from the modern society of the psyche.
  • Jan Nohas quoted3 years ago
    External violence unburdens the psyche because it externalizes suffering.
