Similarly, Westerners talk a)out violence

    in the alkans, Western citiens toether with their enerals a)out the violence of the Ser)ian army. iolence isreconied and measured )y its visi)le e/ects, the s#ectacular )lood of wounded)odies, the material destruction of o)0ects, the visi)le damae left in the world ofo)0ects-. 1n its measura)le damae we see the #roof that violence has taken #lace,the violence )ein reduced to this damae. The violation as such, or invisi)le forms ofviolence% the non%#hysical violence of threat and terror, of insult and humiliation, the violation of human dinity% are hardly ever the issue e+ce#t to some e+tent in feminist and anti%racistanalyses, or under the name of #sycholoical violence. Here violence is reconied)y the victims and de2ned from their #ers#ective % an im#ortant ste# away from thecataloue of violent acts and the e+clusive evidence of material traces in the o)0ect.

    3et even here the focus tends to )e on the e/ects and e+#erience of violence, eitherthe o)0ective and scienti2c measure of #sycholoical damae, or the increasinlysu)0ective de2nition of violence as e+#erience. iolence is #erceived as a#henomenon for science to research and for #olitics to et a ri# on. ut violence isnot a #henomenon! it is the )ehaviour of #eo#le, human action which may )eanalysed. What is missin is an analysis of violence as action % not 0ust as acts ofviolence, or the cause of its e/ects, )ut as the actions of #eo#le in relation to other#eo#le and )eins or thins. 4eminist criti5ue, as well as other #olitical criti5ues,has analysed the #reconditions of violence, the une5ual #ower relations whichena)le it to take #lace. However, under the #ressure of mainstream science and asocioloical #ers#ective which increasinly dominates our thinkin, it is )ecominstandard to arue as if it were these #ower relations which cause the violence.Underlyin is a )ehaviourist model which #refers to see human action as thee+clusive #roduct of circumstances, inorin the #ersonal decision of the aent toact, im#lyin in turn that circumstances virtually dictate certain forms of )ehaviour.6ven thouh we would #ro)a)ly not underwrite these #ro#ositions in their crass form, there isnevertheless arowin tendency, not 0ust in social science, to e+#lain violent )ehaviour )y itscircumstances.

    did. 6ven #olitically o##ositional rou#s are not immune to this mainstreamsocioloiin. Some left rou#s have tried to e+#lain men-s se+ual violence as theresult of class o##ression, while some lack theoreticians have e+#lained theviolence of lack men as the result of racist o##ression. The ostensi)le aim of thesearuments may )e to draw attention to the #ervasive and structural violence ofclassism and racism, yet they not only fail to com)at such ine5uality, they activelycontri)ute to it. Althouh such o##ression is a very real #art of an aent-s lifeconte+t, these e+#lanations- inore the fact that not everyone e+#eriencin thesame o##ression uses violence, that is, that these circumstances do not cause-violent )ehaviour. They overlook, in other words, that the #er#etrator has decided toviolate, even if this decision was made in circumstances of limited choice. To

    overlook this decision, however, is itself a #olitical decision, servin #articular interests.1n the 2rst instance it serves to e+onerate the #er#etrators, whose res#onsi)ility is thustransferred to circumstances and a history for which other #eo#le(who remain )eyondreach' are res#onsi)le. ;oreover, it hel#s to stimatie all those livin in #overty ando##ression* )ecause they are o)vious victims of violence and o##ression, they areheld to )e #otential #er#etrators themselves.- This slanders all the women whohave e+#erienced se+ual violence, yet do not use violence aainst others, and li)elsthose e+#eriencin racist and class o##ression, yet do not necessarily act outviolence. 4ar from su##ortin those o##ressed )y classist, racist or se+isto##ression, it sells out these entire rou#s in the interest of e+oneratin individualmem)ers. 1t is a version of collective victim%)lamin, of stimatiin entire social

To understand thestructures of thinkin and the criteria, )y which such decisions are reached, )uta)ove all to reard this decision as an act of choice, seems to me a necessary#recondition for any #olitical strule aainst violence and for a non%violent society.
