GOMEZ CALDERON, Cuauhtémoc. Extreme violence, desire and imagination. Balibar, Hegel, Spinoza. En-clav. pen [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.32, e559.  Epub 26-Sep-2022. ISSN 2594-1100.  https://doi.org/10.46530/ecdp.v0i32.559.

The article gravitates around the concept of ‘extreme violence’ in part of the work of Étienne Balibar. Firstly, the argument starts from the idea that violence, in a hegelian perspective, can be convertible in Institution, Morality or Reason. Nevertheless, this idea will be worked on and questioned through all our article. Secondly, we explore different ways in which inconvertible violence is indeed possible, and that is the moment when it turns to extreme violence. Our article observes two inseparable and continuous scenes of extreme violence as: ultra objective violence and ultra subjective violence. Finally, we deepen the idea about how ultra subjective violence is associated with phantasy, imagination and desire of annihilation of alterity. It is suggested also how political practice is a moment of interruption inside this continuum of extreme violence, which always haunts the conditions of possibility of politics itself.
