Abstract

[The] synchrony of contrary trends is typical of our culture's relationship with the phenomenon of violence. Valid since then [19th century] and effective until modernity, it can even be accompanied until recent contemporaneity. In the course of this presentation, an attempt is made to follow the development of these topos in the period of the 80s and 90s. The focus is not so much on the phenomenon of structural violence, but on the concrete representation of different forms of the use of physical violence.
