This timely volume explores the question of torture through multiple lenses by situating it within systems of belief, social networks of power, and ideological worldviews. Individual essays examine the boundaries of what is deemed legitimate political violence for the sake of state security, the immediate and long-term effects of torture on human and social bodies, the visual and artistic representations of torture, how certain people are dehumanized to make it acceptable to torture them, and how we understand complicity in and the ethical boundaries of torture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eShampa Biswas \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of politics at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eMargins, Peripheries, and Excluded Bodies: International Relations and States of Exception\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eZahi Zalloua \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of French and general studies at Whitman College, author of \u003ci\u003eMontaigne and the Ethics of Skepticism\u003c\/i\u003e, and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Comparatist\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMontaigne After Theory, Theory After Montainge\u003c\/i\u003e.
