    Fradinger exposes the relation between literary imagination, autonomous politics, and violence through the close analysis of literary texts - in particular works by Sophocles, D. A. F. de Sade's, and Vargas Llosa - that speak to a blind spot in democratic theory, namely, how we decide democratically on the borders of our political communities. The book takes seriously the responsibility to think through and give names to the political uses of violence and to provoke useful reflection on the problem of violence as it relates to politics and on literature as it relates to its times.

    Revolutionary narratives in recent science fiction graphic novels and films compel audiences to reflect on the politics and societal ills of the day. Through character and story, science fiction brings theory to life, giving shape to the motivations behind the action as well as to the consequences they produce. This book shows how science fiction generates intriguing and profound insights into politics. It reveals that the fantasy of putting annihilating omnipotence to beneficial effect underlies the revolutionary projects that have defined the collective upheavals of the modern age.

    In a world struggling with 'fundamentalisms', media consolidation and the stifling of dissent, there is an urgent need for scepticism, critical thinking, and ultimately, a greater understanding of the complexities and functions of language. This timely study explores the relevance of Virginia Woolf's texts to questions regarding the dissemination and the deciphering of 'information' in our current political situation. Judith Allen approaches Woolf as a theorist of language as well as a theorist of the reading process. Closely examining her narrative and rhetorical strategies she shows how Woolf
