First Sentence

State violence, especially the kind that circumambulates the law, that transgresses the law from within (questioning thus the hegemonic discourse of the state as public interest), that violence that materializes frequently in the assassinations of death squads, the torture of detainees, the disappearance of victims, and other like technologies of terror - such violence, simultaneously public and secret, is deeply wrapped in fictional plots and phantasmatic images.
