Title: PG WIP Seminar: David Allinson
Philosophy Postgrad Work-In-Progress Seminar
David Allinson - 'Violence and Law'
This paper reflects a two-fold attempt. Firstly, to give an account the
works of Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt and Slavoz Zizek on Violence.
Secondly, it aims to illuminate a uniform trend in their work. This trend
identifies the necessity of a certain amount violence in order to create
the pre-conditions of a lawful society. Benjamin's critique shows that the
authority of law, when seen naked, is based on a myth. This critique of
violence illuminates the complex relationship between violence and the law,
in its subjective and systemic manifestations. However, while Law has a
tempering effect upon otherwise socially destructive interpersonal
violence, despite its necessity, it is simply another form of the violence
which it seeks to contain.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
If you would like to present or require further information, please contact

The format is 30 minutes for presentations followed by 1 hour of
discussion. Since the primary aim of this seminar is to generate
discussion, presentations need not be particularly polished or formal.
