| الوصف: | This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Evil has been historically associated to people, facts and situations labelled disturbing, weird, non-civilised, bizarre, or out of standards. Many artistic, fictional and media representations associate evil to darkness; because of its apparent ugliness, we tend to make all kinds of efforts so as to hide this ‘thing of darkness', which is intrinsic to humanity and social relations. Through its chapters, this volume sheds light on evil, questioning its status quo, places, origins and pointing out its importance for social balance. The discussions and viewpoints rely on approaching evil, human wickedness and violence in real and imagined prisons, contemporary media, representations of the feminine, and witches from Salem and Blair alike. While movies, television series, works of literature, media coverage, public institutions and social relations are analysed, evil is approached from different philosophical perspectives, theories pertaining to mass media, documentary film, history, anthropology and psychoanalysis. |
