Morality, Violence, and Ritual Circumcision: Writing with Blood

By Na'ama Carlin

Book Overview

Departing from both the ordinary defences and criticisms that surround the practice of Jewish ritual of circumcision, this book offers a new way of thinking about violence, drawing on the thought of Derrida and Sofsky to explain circumcision as a form of generative or productive violence that is inherent in the making of bodies.
