Brutality and the culture of brutality that I'm depicting in the book is one that is a result or a direct result of civilization, of civilized cultures, of the neoliberal economic world systems.
What if our understanding of violence is missing a crucial element? In this episode of 'New Books in Drugs, Addiction and Recovery', host Marshall Poe sits down with Carlos Alberto Sánchez to discuss his book, 'A Sense of Brutality: Philosophy after Narco-Culture'. Sánchez dives into the gritty world of Mexican narco-culture, challenging the notion that it’s merely a subculture. Instead, he argues that it’s a direct outcome of broader societal and economic systems.
Through a philosophical lens, Sánchez explores how brutality, not just violence, shapes our world and our understanding of personhood. He suggests that the normalization of brutality in narco-culture enables the erasure of individuals, making us rethink what we know about violence, cruelty, and terror. This episode offers a raw and enlightening perspective on contemporary issues, making complex ideas accessible to everyone. If you're curious about the deeper implications of drug trafficking and cultural violence, this conversation is a must-listen.
