You just name it and you see it in its myriad manifestations, diverse human contexts and various dehumanizing forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Violence signifies ‘force’ as well as ‘violation’. Over the past several decades, due to the rapid changes in social, economic, political and cultural environment, violence has become an ugly reality – a lived reality – that can only be experienced; words can merely report the happening but not its intensity which is felt only by the victim(s). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Violence has been at the heart of intellectual debates all along human history. Literature has, from time to time, focused on societal obsession with violence. Cinema and TV too are now taking up the issue. Man seems to be tired of conflicts, wars, terrorism and such other acts of brutality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book seeks to explore the prevalence and representation of violence in the contemporary society. The articles contained in this anthology look at violence from various angles and mainly from the perspective of literature but the few papers on films, television, and those approaching violence from theoretical angle contribute to find patterns of violence in diverse ways. There are ‘kinds’ of violence and the literature surveyed here is only a minuscule part of the forms of violence that have infested the humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rawat Publication","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46504129233047,"sku":"9788131604335","price":712.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788131604335.webp?v=1767175454","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/violence-in-media-and-society-literature-film-and-tv-9788131604335","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
