Verbal Violence unravels, dissects, and shreds the language of the professional managerial class. Critically straining the email thread, the Freedom of Information Request, and the white paper through an aesthetics of anger that appropriates their last gasps at relevancy, LaFrance registers the absurdities of a purposeless people "just doing their job." Hacking up neoliberal doublespeak, ideological reproduction, and progressive-except-Palestine rhetoric, Verbal Violence spits it out time and time again, scheduling a meeting to verbalize the what and the who liberal democratic institutions systematically shut down. Verbal Violence confronts capitalism's managerial style guide for saying nothing at all with the fiery and empathetic conscience of the managed, their cri de coeur cracking the straight-faced bureaucracy of our most banal communications.
