Perverse Characteristics of Governmental Oppression

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article discusses the perverse characteristics of government oppression (as compared to the perverse characteristics of relations) and focuses on the main characteristic of two-dimensional perception of humans and humanity. Diverse forms of revolting against it will be discussed, including the example of the social protest in Israel, as well as testimony from the Israeli organization Breaking the Silence, which will be analyzed through the prism of Didi-Huberman’s firefly phenomenon as the only living form of resistance.
