Deborah Root Quotes
Our Conceptual Maps Tend To Lack A Way To Conceive The Immanence Of Violence And Power In The Ideals And Practices That Have Become Dominant In The Western Tradition. Mass Death Has Tended To Be Conceived As Something Accidental, Something Outside The Ordinary Run Of Events. I Think The Difficulty In Coming To Terms With The Peculiarities Of The Western Will To Power Has To Do With The Absence Of A Central Metaphor Capable Of Describing The Link Between Consumption And Death. The Consumptive Mentality Has In Many Respects Been Normalized, As Has The Violence That Underpins And Is The Effect Of Systems Of Universal Judgment. Certainly The Aestheticization Of Difference Is Coextensive With The Romance With Violence That Has Become So Characteristic Of Contemporary Western Society.
