There is more to modern 'political religions' than political ritual and religious semantics, as is normally assumed with regard to National Socialism and other totalitarian regimes. Ideologies and political style do matter, but they do not provide the answer as to how 'dead certainty' was achieved about the ultimate mission. The terror of the revolutionary 'furies' and the 'sacrifice' of national revivalism provide a historical trajectory for the proposition that in the modern world it is not the violence that is in the religion, but the religion that is in the violence. Fundamentalist violence - from the Holocaust to the attacks of September 11 2001 - must therefore be seen as the touchstone for an economy of the sacred in a secularized world. Thus, the 'morality of violence' (Sorel, 1990) feeds into acts of political terrorism and genocide not just by way of legitimation but also as a proof of the transcendent quality of political violence itself. 1 Illustration, 65 References.

En este artículo se reflexiona críticamente el uso de la noción de violencia cuyo efecto discursivo más grave es oscurecer el lema de que la violencia no es lo contrario de lo "natural" sino una fuerza de intervención necesaria para oponerse precisamente al ejercicio del poder. Ejercicio que sin duda es igualmente violento en su sentido originario de institución de lo estatal y conservador (pues hay permanencia de los aparatos de poder tras el origen). ; In the present paper it is developed a critical reflection on the use of the term violence in which its primarily effect obscured the lemma that violence is not the opposite of the "natural" but an intervention forcé which opposed the acts of power. Action similarly violent in the sense of Institution and equally conservative (there is permanence of power in the origins).

International audience ; This article aims to examine certain psychoanalytical theories of domestic violence, confronting them to a clinical experience with abused women in suburban Sao Paulo. This perspective relies on a correspondence between the psyche and the social context. Research, clinical experience and theory are narrowly linked in psychoanalysis, which, more than a mere theory, proves to be a method applied to an objet, the Unconscious, made positive only through the psychoanalytical research and technique. This article purports to analyse how a psychoanalytical theory of domestic violence could account for the specific social-historic dimension of this phenomenon. Some psychoanalytical interpretations literalize or imaginarize Freudien and Lacanien texts, through notions of essentialized feminine masochism or a reductive reading of the phallus. Domestic violence against women questions in a new way the historicity of theory, its social, cultural and political definitions. These are issues along which Gender Studies address psychoanalysis. Taking into account the clinical and historical signification of domestic violence may help avoiding that frozen an-historical metapsychology become a paradoxical resistance against psychoanalysis. ; Cet article a pour visée d'analyser certaines théorisations psychanalytiques de la violence conjugale, à la lumière d'une expérience clinique auprès de femmes souffrant de violences conjugales dans la banlieue de São Paulo. Cette recherche s'inscrit dans une étude mettant en correspondance la psyché et le champ social. Traduisant une indissociabilité entre recherche, clinique et théorisation, la psychanalyse n'est point d'abord une théorie mais une méthode liée à un objet, l'inconscient, rendu positif par une procédure de recherche et une technique. Comment penser alors une théorisation susceptible de rendre compte de la singularité social-historique de la violence conjugale contre les femmes ? Littéralisant ou imaginarisant des textes freudiens ou lacaniens, bien des ...

Cet article analyse certaines théorisations psychanalytiques de la violence conjugale, à la lumière d'une expérience clinique auprès de femmes souffrant de violences conjugales dans la banlieue de São Paulo. Cette recherche s'inscrit dans une étude mettant en correspondance la psyché et le champ social. La violence conjugale contre les femmes repose la question de l'historicité de la théorisation, de son inscription sociale, culturelle, politique, autant d'interrogations que les études de du genre ne manquent pas de formuler à la psychanalyse.

THOSE WHO HAVE DESPAIRED OF AFRICA'S REGENERATION HAVE RIGHTLY TAKEN SOME COMFORT FROM THE EXTRAORDINARY TRANSITION THAT OCCURRED IN SOUTH AFRICA BETWEEN 1990 AND 1994. THIS INTRODUCTION EXAMINES WHETHER OR NOT SOUTHERN AFRICA IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RULE. ITS NEGATIVE INHERITANCE FROM ITS PAST WILL NO DOUBT PREOCCUPY THE MANDELA GOVERNMENT AND ITS SUCCESSOR WELL INTO THE NEXT CENTURY. FAILURE FOR THIS COUNTRY WILL RISK REPEATING THE STULTIFYING EXPERIENCE OF AFRICAN STATES ELSEWHERE AND CONTRIBUTE TO AN EVEN GREATER TRAGIC MARGINALIZATION OF THE CONTINENT AS A WHOLE.

Social work has played an integral role in the conceptualization and implementation of policy aimed at prevention and intervention of various forms of family violence. Seminal federal policies to address child abuse and neglect (Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act), elder abuse (Elder Justice and Older Americans Acts), and intimate partner violence (Violence Against Women and Family Violence Prevention and Services Acts) all focus on specific types of violence in the family. To date, however, there are no federal policies specifically addressing physical and/or emotional sibling violence (Perkins, Coles, & O'Connor, 2017; Perkins & O'Connor, 2016). This article examines the exclusion of policy addressing physical and emotional sibling violence considering other family violence policies. Along with prevalence, consequences, and associative factors connected to sibling violence, definitional issues that impede the creation of policy to address this form of family violence are highlighted. Children as a marginalized population, deserving the attention of social workers through policy advocacy will be discussed as well as psychoeducation and interprofessional collaboration that may facilitate the creation of policies aimed at addressing this form of family violence.
